Crowd Demands Encore As Man Misses Train in Queen Bohemian Rhapsody Piano Epic Cole Lam 12 Years

6 Queen Songs Piano Cover Public in #OneTake performed as a set at St Pancras International. This was a little ambitious - just before the final Arsenal home game in May - I planned to perform a set of Queen songs - all in a row, one take - no stopping. It's a long session - and it even meant someone missed his train because he wanted to watch!
The individual videos have been posted already, but I was asked and I thought it would be good to share the whole session to show what it took. So here it is in One Take - 6 Queen songs and Hallelujah as an encore. Actually started with my own composition as a warmup, and then did:
0:00 Intro
0:17 Bohemian Rhapsody
6:17 Love of My Life
9:40 Don't Stop Me Now
13:33 Somebody To Love
18:13 Killer Queen
20:50 We Are The Champions
23:57 Guy Misses Train! No regrets!
24:10 Encore with Hallelujah
#Queen #BohemianRhapsody #LoveOfMyLife #DontStopMeNow #SomebodyToLove #KillerQueen #WeAreTheChampions #Hallelujah #PianistsOfStPancras

I could go on about how talented you are but what is more important is how YOU make your audience FEEL. I am a 45 year old life long, 4th generation musician. Music truly is in my blood. My fondest memories aren't of touring, the big stages, the awards or any of the perks of hard hard work. It is of staying up all night with my Dad (he was also a musician - still on radio) learning about music history, the artists, the producers and how things just all came together. My music mentor, teacher, my muse, lost her life to cancer 2 weeks before my Dad lost his life to cancer. I was destroyed. My home is silent. Freddie Mercury was one of my biggest influences as a rock singer. So, especially listening to Queen after such an inimitable pair of losses was just impossible. Today, listening to your playing has made music just a little more ok for me to handle. Thank you for that. Love Of My Life stings so bad because it feels like it channels my grieving mother's pain. That is an aweful lot of power you have young man! Congratulations for being so moving , not something everyone can do! That always was one of my most favorites of Queens though. Anyway, for a moment, you GAVE me a moment of enjoyment again. Took away some of the hurt and made music ok in my life again. How you make someone feel is so important and goes under rated these days. Thank you, so graciously, for that moment in time today. Blessings and love ❤️ from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@hillbillydeluxe27]

When he was playing bohemian rhapsody, I automatically started to sing the song. Odd thing is, I’ve never sang a Queen song in my 40 years as a musician and singer. Don’t get me wrong, I love Queen and their music it but I’ve just never played it. That kid just wound me up with his talent…lol. I’m also very sorry to hear about your parents as they sounded like they were loving, supportive and wonderful people. I wish you happiness and an elegant hope that life gets better for you 😁.

As a very busy mother I wasn't listening to the sounds around me just focused on what instill had to do and with me was my 4 year old son. And we came into a large building and suddenly he had disappeared, I looked around and he was gone...my heart stopped my throat constricted and I looked everywhere only not the church...where classical music was played on a violin and a piano...and I saw more and more people stopping there looking in..so I ran there and looked inside...and in the middle of a sea of old people stood my little son admiring and dead quiet ( he stood never still let alone be quiet) he had been there all that time..and it was my son that drew the crowd Who THEN finally paid attention to the musicians...they were incredible and it was a teaching moment. So from then on wherever we went and if we heard a musician we would stand still and admire their work and love of music

[@elisemiller13]

Your story of your son disappearing touches me ~ @Ainaes-Feline ~ My dad, unable to any longer care for my mom, was situating my mother's room in a facility just a mile from his home. When he looked up, she was gone...after much searching, he found my mother, (who had stopped talking & had dementia, ) standing happily and completed focused, by someone playing piano and singing. I spent our last years together, sitting on the floor, looking into her cast down eyes before her then stooped over shoulders...holding her hands and singing on and on, as she nodded & brightened to varying degrees of recognition & delight. Rest well Mama ~

Hallelujah is one of my all-time favorite songs and the way he sang it in combination with playing it was so moving it was breathtaking! And when the crowd joined in to sing the chorus I got chills. Such a beautiful moment of sharing love for music and harmony between fellow human beings. ❤️‍🔥

[@snahg2356]

I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me who heard the "crowd" or angels singing the chorus of Hallelujah. It was incredibly sweet watching that tall lady filming him for his entire concert and watching her entire body vibrate with energy as she took in how great Cole was and the playing of a 12 year old kid. Watching her shake her head in disbelief at some of his playing and the big hug she gave him at the end.

[@miltoncampos6565]

... and after all those talented performances, he sings and plays Hallelujah!!! The cutest is impossible!! Bravo, my little fellow!!!

Me either, but when you have a plane to catch, what are you going to do?

[@GinMae]

I totally would have missed my train, meeting or whatever - this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime performance -- I'm sure Cole will go on to greater things.. but this could not be missed or ignored... I would be a moth to a flame if I had the opportunity!!! lol

[@2002WS6]

What is really amazing to me is that such a very young man knows these classic songs. And likes to perform them

[@kellykwon2232]

His heart must know the music.

[@philipw8672]

Cole is truly an artist! Remember,he did this by ear, no sheet music…..this is amazing!

[@longcorker]

The respect that lady who stood through the whole performance was just amazing and to hug and kiss him was just so heartwarming and well deserved! Cole, your future is mapped out already!

[@MikeDuryea32]

For someone who lived during Freddie Mercury's time, I have to think that Freddie himself would love this. Great job kid!!

[@febielegita4199]

Real talent! Love it!

[@donnaleeclubb119]

I think he would have been honored.

[@miguelangelobrion4419]

It's amazing !bravo for this young boy

[@AmethystEagleWoman]

You are So Talented! Your emotional range equals your musical ability. Both awesome! Whatever you do, don’t stop playing! Thank you for bringing happiness.

[@hotmess8907]

I was amazed by how well you played every Queen song..I have to admit I cried when you played hallelujah because you got strangers to sing with you plus that song just gets to me. Keep playing ☺️ it's people like you that makes things better in our crazy world by sharing your talent making people smile .

[@lindonald2087]

I love the next gen appreciating Freddie/Queen's music as much as we did..

[@frankierzucekjr]

Absolutely

[@barsdogukankarakoyun8798]

As a Gen Z (2003) I think every generation can appreciate their music. It’s almost like Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi. You can’t deny it’s good and it will always be good. I would’ve kill to see Queen and Freddy live once.

[@kirstyi7860]

Well said! That's EXACTLY what he'd say! Oh, Freddie, we hardly knew ye. Lived too fast and died too young, but your song will always always be sung, from those of us who still love you, and we're legion. The kids no bad, either!

[@fireskycam9889]

Freddie would love it. It is amazing that he died in 1991 and people still love his music. It shows how good he was. There were only two people who could sing Somebody to love. Freddie and George Michael.

[@dennissanjuan7406]

"Love Of My Life" is one of the most beautiful rock ballad in music history. You nailed it bigtime. Thank you for sharing with us you're brilliant rendition of some of Queen's greatest hits.

[@ARUCARDFTEPES]

My only critique would be: Take a bow man! Hell, take a dozen, it's clearly deserved!

[@Mrfort]

The kid needed a bucket for the contributions?

[@gerdaremy1088]

This is a full concert.He is AMAZING!

[@gwidwock]

That was the BEST Bohemian Rhapsody I have ever heard played on the piano next to Freddy Mercury. That is one talented young man. If that was his father looking on, he should be mighty proud. It was a privileged to look and listen to that.

[@ColeLam]

Public pianos are usually a bit out of tune and sometimes a lot! I like it though as it is like they have their own accents and personalities. Makes them a little special I think. I have played on a perfectly tuned one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqGrmK1rmqirgNU

[@chuckwagon1892]

He could fill a concert hall. His interpretation is terrific! Freddie would be thrilled to hear him, yet people walk by like he isn't there. Go figure?

[@leighedwards2539]

What a gift. The ability to play is 1 thing. This guy has perfected it

[@claudiagallegosanz9422]

I have the need to tell this. I am 13 years old, I love Queen so much that I cried watching you play Bohemian Rhapsody and Don't Stop Me Now. I am amazed by your show, it's amazing how you can play the piano like that and let us feel magic without the words or other instruments. It's wonderful how Queen can still reunite young people like you and me and make them feel the magic of Queen. Only a legend would do this and Freddie is a true legend. Thank you so much for uploading this, you've made my day.

[@ColeLam]

I agree. It is special that queen and Freddie's music can mean so much to everyone. His music will last forever

[@grannygotcha9809]

Claudia, that was an adorable note to Cole. Hope you two meet someday. Imagine that?

[@ozimi3176]

Freddie Mercury and Queen were one of a kind. So is this young man. I have so missed hearing these songs. His talent for putting the emotion in his playing is stunning.

[@elisabethpearl9790]

This young man plays with such pure feeling, it brought tears to my eyes....in spite of the less than perfect tuning of the piano

[@jaytonuk]

I came across this video via a very convoluted route, but I'm so glad that I stopped for 30 minutes to listen to you with a smile on my face. I was singing along in my lounge! You're a wonderfully talented chap and a fellow Gooner. (So, you must be good!) I love the way that you've absorbed all of the lessons and the theory, and now you can play for pleasure using all of your body to propel the music forward. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm about to follow you on Twitter, so be prepared to be stalked, but at a distance and only musically. Good fortune in all that you do. P.S. I know others have said it, but I feel that Freddie was standing at your shoulder that day.

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

OMG that was the most beautiful performance of Bohemian Rhapsody I have ever seen. Wow.

This kid can certainly play the piano. And appreciates good music. This boy’s got great taste in music.

THANK YOU!! This kids parents certainly got a fast & amazing return on their investment of music lessons! I'd gladly miss a train or three to listen to this ... but I keep waiting for Freddie Mercury to start singing! My only complaint is that there aren't more people stopping & listening!
