I listen to Queen every single day. I was lucky to be a teen in the 70s and walk the Earth at the same time these 4 geniuses did.

The 70s were the absolute greatest and I'd go back, and stay, in a heartbeat! 💙👑🌈

This is actually "In The Lap Of The God - REVISITED". Believe it or not, Freddie wrote TWO songs entitled "In The Lap Of The Gods" & "In The Lap of The Gods - REVISITED". Completely different melodies, with different lyrics. There are live versions of both of them. Both are worth the watch. (if you want to hear Roger Taylor's high vocal screams, plus I think Brian's guitarwork is even fancier, also go to "In The Lap of The Gods - Live At The Rainbow 1974". (not REVISTED). They played both songs at this concert. You'll know it's the right one as Freddie will be wearing a white costume during it.) I much prefer the live versions of both. The album version freaks me out. As for Freddie's teeth. Not sure if they aided him singing, but he thought they did so he refused to have them fixed. I know he had to overcome a lisp (sometimes you will hear it in songs) due to them, so that gave him beautiful diction. And it's his vocal clarity & pronunciation, coupled with his tone, that I find so pleasing.

You're not a real Queen fan if you can't sing along with the Oh-oh-la-la-la's of Lap of the Gods revisited :) Brian's guitar solo's are more like another melodic verse of the song than they are the usual rock guitar solo. And he could make his guitar sound like almost anything to work in the song. Also, maybe he didn't need it but Freddie often stayed near Brian during the solos and played around keeping the crowd's attention there. I mean we can all admit that many guitar solos leave us looking around for something interesting. With Freddie giving Brian his attention, it meant that the crowd would as well. Combined with Bri's stunning ability no one could look away.

Amazing insights Thank you so much My memories are starting to fade. But when I read comments like yours ??? Gosh I’m back in that moment

Please react to White Queen live at Hammersmith Oden 1975. You will be blown away by the vocals and guitar. It’s also an early Queen, your jaw will drop - I guarantee it! Freddie use the think his overbite aided in his vocal abilities. Scientists did a study of his one off vocal octaves and said there is a pair of ventricular folds that are not used, however, whether he knew it or not, Freddie was able to also use that set of folds which gave him that “growl”. Scientists had no explanation for his octave range other than a “gift”. Nobody could convince Freddie to fix his teeth. I kinda don’t blame him. His voice is a one off and will never be duplicated. I have not grown tired of listening to them even after all these years. He is the goat and Queen was an incredible band with 4 gifted self taught musicians

EASILY one of the most underrated Queen song ever... possibly better than Bohemian Rhapsody and Innuendo!!! When I see Freddie banging on the piano keys and his head bobbing, I get cold chills and goosebumps. Every time. Every. Single. Time. I wonder what it would feel like if one was high on mushrooms while listening to the trippy psychedelic guitar

Thank you for suggesting my favorite Queen live performance. Ever. Maybe my favorite life performance of anyone.

Queen's music is a COSMIC FORCE...and when it hits you... you NEVER recover. You are permanently, musically injured...and left in the lap of the GODS. 😁💎

My favorite song of Queen is this and You Take My Breath Away, My Melancholy Blues, Lilly of the Valley and The Millionaires Waltz. ❤❤❤It goes on and on and on la la lala. Freddie was teased as a child for his extra teeth/overbite but he believed it helped his voice. But his overbite gave him that powerful jaw that great singers need. He also was teased for his long fingers as being womanish but they were double jointed aiding in his piano playing along with his perfect ear. He also had a four octave voice and sang using his false vocal chords like Tuvan singers use. It was like he was created to be able to perform music. All 4 members were intellectually gifted and musically talented. They listened to all types of music. Brian May says in the best documentary of Queen: Days of Our Lives that at first when recording, Freddie didn’t like his voice. So he worked relentlessly on it until it sounded right according to Freddie’s exacting standards. These guys were professionals that took their jobs seriously! RIP Freddie. Miss you still!❤

You are fast becoming my favourite guy for Queen reactions, you get it, how great they all were as a cohesive team. They were & still are the greatest band of all time, with grateful thanks from a lifelong Queen fanatic. More Queen pls, any Queen song is a good song! 🇦🇺

There actually was a scientific study done of Freddie’s voice. Turns out it had nothing to do with his extra teeth but the fact that Freddie had the unique ability to use his “false vocal cords” the ventricular folds above his actual vocal cords to create his unique subharmonics. Also, Freddie had an extremely fast vibrato at 7.04 Hz. Typically an opera singer’s vibrato frequency between 5.5-6 Hz. So, Freddie’s vibrato was faster than an opera singer. That combination is what made Freddie’s singing so unique. Please react to funky Dragon Attack live at Montreal and A Kind of Magic live at Wembley.

Yes,it's true! But above These facts FREDDIE Had basically a very beautiful vocal tone even His speaking voice is so nice and Clean and charming.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

Soooooooo much power and emotions in this one. Freddie just SNATCHES YOUR SOUL...and never gives it back. You can tell that even though Queen was early in their career....they were on their way to becoming MONSTER LEGENDS. This band from their beginning was CRAZY strong....and 70s Freddie was an absolute DRAGON (pun intended). 💎🔥💎🔥💎🔥💎🔥

Freddie never got his teeth straightened because he worried that it would indeed affect his voice, the way it sounds, it’s volume & how he could project it. And he may well have been right. God bless Freddie, his teeth and his voice, they were all a gift to the world, as was Queen per se! Love from Annie, in Cornwall,UK (I live only about 15 miles from Roger Tailors house, on the Helford river)🙂🌸

Brian once described his guitar playing as an extension to Freddie's voice!!💜🎵👑

What an amazing song. This group was so so great. no other group compares

Technically, the name of this song is "In The Lap Of The Gods - Revisited". It was Freddie's first attempt to write a song that the audience would sing along with. I loved it when they performed the melody of their songs, "In The Lap Of The Gods - revisited, Seven Seas of Rhye, and Tear it Up" like at this Wembley performance in 1986 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZZh17ezfNiZh8Y.html There was an earlier Queen song, also written by Freddie, titled "In The Lap Of The Gods". Here is a link to a live performance of "In The Lap Of The Gods" at the Rainbow in 1974 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoKh1Mxunrezf8Y.html (Apparently, Freddie was intrigued by the phrase "in the lap of the gods".)

As you say live at the Rainbow...In The Lap of the Gods...Roger hitting those notes... unbeatable

This was an awesome performance. I love 70's Queen, they had several versions of looks. There are two versions of this song. In the Lap of the Gods an In the Lap of the Gods Revisited. You played the revisited version of the song. Thank you Vic, for suggesting this awesome performance! Another great one by them that is an overlooked gem is "Its Late". If you have some time, give it a listen. You will not be disappointed! Might want to try Liar from this concert at the Rainbow.

Well it looks like Vic (?) is a fan of the 70s!! Welcome to my teenage years, how blessed we are as baby boomers, we grew up at a time when music was fantastic, singers really knew how to sing and the band actually played!! No autotune, no hidden band playing, just pure, fantastic and unbelievable talent!! I'm so happy I grew up in the time that I did!! Great reaction Seb, please introduce your beautiful wife to Pink Floyd dark side of the moon!!

I grew up in those same years but did not know of Queen (the B&W days mixed me up with Kiss - don't ask). So now I have lived in a Time Warp; It was strange to see the two worlds collide - back then and now, Freddie gone, John retired. This song title is the perfect tombstone message.

One of the amazing things about Dr. Brian is that he learned to play both rhythm and lead guitar at the same time.. He was in a band that had no rhythm guitar and learned how to incorporate the 2 together. Hence part of his unique sound!

Have you heard ‘Seven Seas of Rhye’ by Queen. It’s one of my favourites by Queen. I love Queen and Freddie (R.I.P.) and I saw them with Adam Lambert (I missed seeing Freddie live 😢).

It’s a must for you to hear their live version of “White Queen” if you like Brian’s guitar and Freddie on the piano it will blow you away! ❤❤❤

The lyrics are from the first "In the Lap of the Gods", though they weren't different versions; they were different songs entirely connected by a running theme. This was "In the Lap of the Gods Revisited", and both of them bookended the album Sheer Heart Attack.

I always loved this song. RIP dear Freddie. Love Queen ❤

Boy, I hear that piano intro and I’m whisked away to my happy place! 🌝🌻 Queen makes me very very happy!! You should check out the medley ft. this song live at Wembley 1986 - IN THE LAP OF THE GODS*SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE*TEAR IT UP! 🎹🎤

As many have already said, try white queen live at Hammersmith, you won't be disappointed.

ALL live performances of Queen, even before they became kings of rock, are amazing!! Was so lucky to see Freddie with Queen live 3 times!!! Unforgettable!!! You should check out White Queen and Stone Cold Crazy!! Freddie always believed his protruding teeth helped him get a better range but I think it's his talent and yes, Scientists did do a study of his vocals that confirmed his range that is unique to which Dr May said 'We already knew that so now science can now go back to researching things that matter" Lol. Freddie is as amazing live as the records, it the first thing I noticed when I stood a few feet away from him when I first saw him live. He actually sweat on me too!!! I will never forget Queen and the first time I heard them, I was hooked!

And all that from just 4 unbelievably talented musicians and vocalists

Ahhh in the lap of the gods revisited, i love this song. To me, bohemian rhapsody is the song that got me into Queen but in the lap of the gods revisited got me hooked.btw you know freddie is the GOAT when scientists and some of the greatest minds on earth try to dissect his vocal abilities,

Sebs, there are so many great songs on the first three Queen albums that are not so widely known by the world since their breakout hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" was on their fourth LP, and most people just followed them from that point. This band is so fantastic, all of them amazing in their own right. Look for performances of any of their songs off the first three albums or from concerts from around 1974 and 1975. You should one day react to "White Queen" from the Odeon Hammersmith, 1975 I believe. There is an amazing guitar/piano section in the song you will love!!

Check out “Liar” live at the Rainbow in 1974, all four members of the band were on fire

This whole Queen concert from Hammersmith is incredible. Vintage Queen, the older songs.

...the BEST Queen imho.

Freddie. Who every singer strives to be, but who they will never come close to. Unreachable, yet real down to earth appreciation for his fans. His mother was a big influence in his life and she definitely did raising him right. Can't help but smile and thank God that I lived when Freddie did.

Man , this brings back so many great memories. I remember getting Queen's new album 'Sheer Heart Attack' off my wife for my 22nd birthday in November 1974. First track on side 2 was 'Lap of the Gods'. I absolutely loved that song , and must have played it over and over again on my way to work and back. This is the first time I've seen it performed live, so thanks for that Sebs,,,, Absolutely brilliant mate!

Sebs, i play. QUEEN every day of my lefe simply because tho i listen to many others, none come up to Queen... none... so i put their music on the minute i wake up, every day pretty much, even before I make ☕️ coffee... The whole band worked hard & practicing was what made them perfect. ALOT of practicing... & Freddie was admittedly & proudly a perfectionist ...he said famously "people spend their hard earned money to buy our tickets so we OWE IT TO THEM to give them the best music possible EVERY TIME." That was their belief & it was always what they felt obligated to do. Now factor in Freddie's GOAT voice along with his charisma... you cant take yr eyes off of him, can you ?! Please go react to White Queen for more knowledge of what this genius of a man does with his piano. He never really had more than a couple of lessons but when several musicians observed him at boarding school from 8 yrs old to about 15 yrs old when they said "lessons weren't necessary since we knew him to hear any song once then he'd just go play it perfectly on the school piano a few minutes later. He was a genius in so many ways. And everyone that knew him repeatedly commented that until he died, he was the nicest, most kind & generous person any of them ever knew. Go down the rabbit hole Sebs, you're mind will be blown. Crazy Little Thing Called Love he wrote in the bathtub on his guitar in ten minutes. LOVE OF MY LIFE is his greatest love song to Mary, former girlfriend, and then just friends forever that he left 50% of his estate to. TIME WAITS FOR NOBODY... IS THIS THE WORLD WE CREATED... ALWAYS REACT TO THE LIVE CONCERTS !!! OH, & just a year before he died, he decided he wanted to write & sing opera having attended operas all his life even as a child. Yhe top opera diva in the world, Monserrate Caballe, was so impressed by the songs he sent her to hear him sing, that she made a great album with him & did live performances of them. He wrote the music & lyrics with his favorite pianist Mike Moran some of the songs he wrote & sang in English, Spanish & even one in Japanese!!!!.. the album is called BARCELONA & there's live videos of them at LaNit & elsewhere. You should really listen to their 8 songs on that album. I cant wait for you to hear ALL from early 1970s thru 1991 even if you dont have the time to react online to each one... just listen to this amazing voice in all his songs for yr own enjoyment... SO GLAD WE QUEEN BUFFS FOUND YOU SEBS...YOU ARE A TERRIFIC COMMENTATOR IN YR REACTIONS.

There are two songs called In The Lap Of The Gods by Queen one has the word (revisited) behind it. Both are completely different and both are excellent.

You mentioned GRATITUDE (the gratitude that these guys had for the fans)… So, a couple years later after this - in the summer of 1976 - as a “Thank You” to their fans, Queen gave a FREE concert in Hyde Park in London… The attendance was around 200,000

Bryan May did an interview with Rick Beato and it is amazing how he explained the guitar solo in "Bohemian Rhapsody" What Makes This Song Great? Ep.107 QUEEN (Feat. Brian May)

I never got a chance to see them with Freddie. I did finally get to see Brian and Roger last fall. It was so good. They are 100 percent live without any backing tracks and sound amazing. I was hoping they would play this because they had been in the previous tours. The only thing I was disappointed in was they didn't play it.

The lyrics you were showing are from the other version of this song which I prefer❤❤ they did that one live at the Rainbow in 1974 I believe ❤❤❤ please check it out ❤❤❤ if need be I can donate to sponsor this version❤❤❤

I was so fortunate to have parents who played this beautiful music . My mother and father (who passed to early )used these songs too put me to sleep . Absolutely love your reactions .

Queen’s army is huge!!! 🇨🇦🖖🏻

you should look at Brian singing Too much Love will Kill you so you can see how good he is. Also watch Roger Taylor singing solo, he had the highest voice of all of them. You can see them both singing on the song Brian wrote for Freddie. Its called Only the Good Die Young. It will make you understand how talented they all were and and they all played multi instruments.

I think this is from Hammersmith “A Night at the Odeon” 1975. Queens performance of “White Queen from that concert is my favorite live performance.

I love this song!!❤❤ Great text and great (of course)voice!! 😊

White Queen live at Hammersmith Odeon is a great great one to react to the harmony of Freddie's piano playing and Brian's guitar will amaze you. Freddie had extra teeth which he felt was why he sang so good, I'm not sure if that's true but he refused to have them pulled

Yes, QUEEN are amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤. I love how passionate Freddie is Always singing. He is Just Draw you in!!!! Just Like you dear Duran!!!! And how flowless they played together!!!! It's really outstanding in my opinion!!!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Your making me get the chills. How I adore and miss this man. What a genius. I’m not sure he actually left it up to the gods. He knew he was going to make himself a legend because he was so talented. I’m going to see Queen tonight because I want to see Brian and Roger in person but it will never ever be the same.

This is actually "In The Lap Of The God - REVISITED". Believe it or not, Freddie wrote TWO songs entitled "In The Lap Of The Gods"& "In The Lap of The Gods - REVISITED

Their old stuff is lost . . .and it's golden!

Four musical geniuses. Hands down the best rock and roll band of all time . Then and now. Still no band could ever match Queen . ❤

The "other" version of "In the Lap of the Gods " at the Rainbow Lounge in 1974 is my favorite version and Roger gives a his brilliant falsetto touch! You must give the other a listen as well!

Give queens breakthrough a listen to. Brilliant.

Seen them in the early 80's, 3hr set in Dublin's RDS, magnificent! Yes you should check out the original because it's what it is, the original cut. You'll hear him sing it differently too. Queen are great doing both but it's more or less the same vibe. Same with 'Love of my Life', amazing live but the studio version has his piano playing, and he had an amazing 'touch' on it. Brian once highlighted it in an interview explaining how he slowly drifted away from playing the piano live, he got more and more into his frontman duties.

You mention that this is the closing piece of the concert. Check out Ten Years After doing 'I'm Going Home' (the 11 minute version, not the clipped 6-minute version) that was the closing piece after a two-hour performance - live at Woodstock. To me it's one of the best 'closers' ever. The other members of the band are great, but Alvin Lee is just incredible.

This video is from a Queen performance entitled "A Night at the Odeon- Hammersmith". It was a BBC broadcast of a live Queen concert on Christmas Eve from the Odeon Theatre in Hammersmith, England in 1975. This performance was the final date of Queen's UK tour in support of the album "A Night At The Opera", which had been released a few weeks previously, and had already gone platinum. Since it was a TV broadcast, they were limited by the time constraints of the BBC so when they performed their final song, which is actually titled "In The Lap Of The Gods - Revisited", there was no encore broadcast. The balloons and streamers were for the TV audience and not usually part of Queen's concert. This song was Freddie's first attempt to write a song that would encourage the audience to sing along with the band. Later songs written specifically for audience participation were, of course, Freddie's "We Are The Champions" and Brian's "We Will Rock You". The band loved their audience to sing along. When Freddie and Brian performed "Love Of My Life", Freddie got used to the audience singing the song and he would direct it. You should watch this video of Freddie and Brian performing "Love Of My Life" at Rio - kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZagvJSdoq6xYbA.html. (FYI - There is another Queen song, also written by Freddie, titled "In the Lap of The God" kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoKh1Mxunrezf8Y.html, which is totally different and worth listening to if for no other reason than to hear Roger's contribution to the song). Queen did return onstage following the ending of the broadcast to perform a few more songs as an encore.

i was born 1974 i grew up with queen in my life and fell in love with the band in my youger years and it was class legends right up until 1991 best time in my lifre

Ha great recommendation Vic. Love this performance & Brian’s comments. “Believe me, life goes on and on.” Gets me every time.

The song was from the early days and never released as a single, and is essentially unknown to anyone other than queen fans. I was recommend that you listen to the live at Wembley 1986 version of the duo medley In the lap of the gods) seven seas of rhye. I guarantee you won't be disappointed

I've never heard this song yet it is in my era? Fabulous song, especially Freddie!!

70's Queen was a different vibe than 80's Queen. Do White Queen live at Hammersmith and prepare to be mind blown.

freddy had so much control of the crowd when live them singing back to him total showman

Queen has many great songs that were forgotten; Prophet song, Long away, You take my breath away, you and I, Ogre Battle, Now im here, sail away sweet sister..and there are many more!

You should check out In the other version of in Lap of the Gods 1974 live at the Rainbow Roger's falsetto is amazing!

The version from the 1974 Live at The Rainbow concert also highlights the otherworldly falsetto voice of the drummer Roger Taylor. Definitely recommend hearing that! Video is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoKh1Mxunrezf8Y.htmlsi=sBlXg9Bkl8ZKh3xC

And yet another great English band/group 👏 Fking mindblowing🤯

yes i agree this song was so very underated, 1 of my all time favs too.

Yes,Queen played everything so flawless with amazing energy!!!! This song is really orchestralike,you said it pretty well!!!! After this song they played 2 songs yet!!! They are worthwile also!!!! The whole band is amazing,they take us away!!! Anyway you can pic any Queen live performance,every is amazing. There are iconic concerts of course! You should watch out the live version of the song "White Queen" at the Hammersmith,the same concert like this 1975,at Christmas Eve. This performance is orhestralike too and breathtaking!!!!! Awesome!!!! "Garanted to blow your mind"!!!!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, I’m not familiar with this song, gave me chills! RIP. And Brian Mays introducing this song and wearing that beautiful white costume.

Queen is the GOAT ✌🏼👑💫✨💥 And I love Freddie 💛💛💛

Didn't you notice the beautiful piano playing????? I suggest you to react the following songs: "You take my breath away" at Hyde Park 1976,a very intimate performance,very beautiful and "Teo Toriate" in Japan about 1977 or 1979.😊

I recently found it too, but when you watch that then you see the music is in his body, he soo passionate about it!

The encore they did after this balloon/blowup doll drop is amazing. Also, Queen has a song called "Don't Try Suicide." A shockingly fun song. (But not ever played live that I recall.)

The greatest rock and roll band then and still. Four musical Geniuses

I’m so happy you reacted to this! Somebody else mentioned reacting to white queen live at Hammersmith. I strongly second that! Also, I suggest reacting to Liar live at the Rainbow (you really see the amazing musicianship of everybody in the band).

guys dont freak out queen are amazing and we should all bow down to their own musical genius...there is no new series of concerts which are redolent of the originals BUT we can all go whoo hoo at the new stuff whoo hoo we are not worthyxhuzzah... guys wherever you are xxxxxxsorry if this is a bit random but the world news now is absolutely atrocious everyone is sending their thoughts and care xxx hoping youre getting the best wishes yourselvesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I was a lucky lady to see Queen/with Freddie live in 1977!!!❤️. LOVE THEM!!! 🥰

Yes. ..HE IS THE GOAT!!!!

Queen (1973) through Queen Live Killers (1979) is the unmatched era.

Yeah, this is a great song, try watching this song along with seven seas of rye and tear it up as a three song medley at the Wembley concert in 1986, amazing performance.

My son saw Queen in concert in Newcastle upon Tyne. I envy anybody who saw them live. Magic. Freddie left us too soon. He was a one off ❤❤❤ RIP Freddie.

Some how my KZread was synced with my daughters, my name is Jackey and I must tell you I listen to your channel everyday even if I’ve watched the video 6 times!! I love how much you enjoy Queen and you know music, not just songs but pianist instead of piano player, etc. I’m sorry I can’t send you money because I’m disabled and struggling but I want you to know how much I appreciate you and ❤ your channel❣️♥️♥️♥️

So wonderful to listen to someone appreciate the genius of Freddie and Queen!! Just remember this is at the end of the concert and listen to the amount of effort he puts into his singing! These guys were absolute professionals and amazing musicians!.

Love Queen

There was an encore at this concert. It will blow you away!

Queen created this version specifically to be a crowd participation song.

I believe that Freddie Mercury was an angel. And we lost him, he had to go home.

I remember it being said the guitarist was playing with a symphony before this band back in the late 70's

What’s up Vic? Love this song too. I just read the below comment, and I didn’t know this info. I wondered why there were different versions, even lyrically…will need to check it out. I absolutely love this one. TY.

One of my top 3 fave Queen songs. Even now when they play it live, the whole arena joins in song!

his overbite helped his control...check out his opera duos..unreal

just remember that all the band played multiple instruments and Brian and Roger also have wonderful voices. It wasnt just about freddie and he said that. It wasnt his band, he was one of the four.

Perfecto

Brighton Rock or White Queen...GREAT 70s Queen songs (but there are SO many!)

When i watched live aid on tv as it was happening,i cryed.

Could you check out White Queen live at Hammersmith a night at the Odeon thanks for your reaction 😊

I saw them live when I was a teenager in, Long Beach California. I was in the fourth row. Can you imagine being that close to Freddie Mercury? He is (not was) the GOAT!!!

Freddie had teeth that were extra, at the back of his mouth, so he said he had more space in his mouth, to sing more powerfully. So he left the extra teeth, which were pushing his front teeth forward. His voice is well known as one of the most powerful singing voices in rock.

Brian often said his guitar work was an extension of the 'voice' in a song.

Watch Lap Of The Gods live at The Rainbow in 1974, you won't be disappointed

Imagine being there hearing them live!

THANKS! I don't usually comment, but your reactions are genuine without a lot of unnecessary pauses or talking too much. Thanks for appreciating Queen as much as I do!

Freddie’s wonderful voice is do to the folds and advanced vocal cords. He thought his teeth was the magic but it wasn’t it at all.

i have to agree with you on both the singing of Freddie and Brian Mays guitar playing, dont know if you know this or if someone else has said this but, May is also an Astrophysicists, the dude is brilliant on and off stage!!

Yes, Freddie's mouth played a part on his voice. He was born with supernumerary teeth, thats why he had thw overbite. After Queen made it there was a thought that he would fix this, but Freddie was very afraid it would change his vocal performance so he didn’t do it.
