Queen | Intro to A Day At The Races

My attempt at recreating the introduction to the A Day at the Races (1976) album. This includes the guitar-orchestrated theme from the song “White Man” which appears later on said album, followed by what Brian May considered his audio equivalent of the impossible Penrose steps, as depicted in M.C. Escher’s famous “never-ending staircase” which also closes the album.

That’s a LOT of guitars at the end! 😮

[@DeyanBratic]

It sure was. I think the actual total was something ridiculous but I’d have to look at the multitracks. Maybe 26? I get carried away sometimes!

Good job figuring all of that out! The intro and outro are rarely discussed.

[@DeyanBratic]

Thank you! I agree that the music in the intro and outro sections are criminally neglected, and always wished that more attention was given to them.

I wait for the tie your mother down riff haha. Legendary playing 🎉

Funny you should say that: after I uploaded this video, it occurred to me that it needed a little “Tie Your Mother Down” at the end! Thanks for watching and commenting!
