Why was '39 not played live after 1979?

Everyone does it.

Common sense really.

I'm not sure that argument applies in this case, considering '39 wasn't added to the setlist until 2 years after the ANATO tour. Nor was Love Of My Life, I'm In Love With My Car or Death On Two Legs, oddly enough.

"'39" was a definite highlight of the Live Killers album, and I love Brian's rendition during the Q+PR period. One of the few songs that equalled(or surpassed) the studio version when played live. I usualy MUCH prefer Queen's studio output in comparison to their live performances...but not in this case.

I disagree, I prefer the studio version and think that it sounds much better with brian on vocals

is it because the time span difference was up by 79?
and so the theme would be less credible,?
like major Tom the character has already returned to earth by 79 and so ....
