(2 versions) "In The Lap Of The Gods" LIVE 1974 & REVISTED (QUEEN) - REACTION. (5.09.2020)

[@kidspack3taylor420]

There will never be another band like Queen

[@barbaraanne5258]

Nice tribute on Freddie's Birthday....hard to believe he would have been 74 today, he is still with us..

[@denisemorris3626]

God gave him to us God took him only had him a short time but omg how many lives he changed with his music miss him so much love watching concerts and listening to freddie and Brian Roger and John bless you all 💯

[@rockledgeln]

Thank you for posting both of these. I always enjoy your reactions and thoughts. You probably caught this, but you can see in both these videos Freddie's unique wrist down piano playing position that Brian has referred to. Yes, once a person really 'gets' Queen and understands their and Freddie's love for the music, the striving for perfection, and devotion to their listeners it's easy to love them and him. The more you listen to his music and watch Freddie the more you also understand he was very funny but never in a cruel sense; extremely kind and generous; and easily wounded. Losing him was a huge painful loss of a magnificent soul and all the music he still had inside him that he wanted to give to the world. However, having thought about this for a long time, I believe his prolonged death and suffering which was done with such grace and enormous courage was perhaps Freddie's greatest gift to so many who have, are, or will experience death from any horrific illness. When my time comes, no matter how painful, I hope I will be able to somewhat emulate Freddie's strength of character and lack of self-pity that carried him through to the end. Happy Birthday, dear Freddie. You are missed.

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

Great to hear these side by side!! I can definitely tell a difference, however, I really love them both!!! Great birthday tribute to Freddie!!! Happy Birthday to Freddie! 🎈🎁🎉🎈🎂🥂🌟🎉🎈🎁🥂💘🌟🌻. I wish he’d never been taken from us.

[@maryengle7445]

Thank you Hap for honoring Freddie on his 74th birthday! Great choice of songs.....love them both! Actually, I'm partial to anything Queen did in the 70's! 💜🖤💛💜🖤💛

[@carolyndanielson9584]

The version where he has the unusual interpretation of "risky" was in the Hammersmith version, 1975. Love that version with the closeup segment that has so much emotion. Love your reactions, Hap!

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

I love both of them but the first one today sounds like he's singing right above from Heaven to us, voice of an angel! And Roger..looks and sings like a cherub! :-)

[@marriusmal]

Finally somebody reacting to In the lap of the gods revisited at the Rainbow thanks man!

[@alicefarr3927]

No one could sing this better than Freddie and Queen❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theresarandall7448]

Lap of the Gods live at Rainbow is definitely one of my top five Queen songs ever.

[@mmaloneym]

By the way, that was the song they ended every concert with until Freddie wrote We Are the Champions. They then ended every concert with that one. They included In the Lap of the gods in a medley during their famous 1986 Wembley concert where he really belts it out!

[@haseenahebrahim9361]

Perfect choice to celebrate the birth of a man now in the lap of the gods. Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury RIP.

[@rogerzarb4735]

I hope the angles can sing like him in haven that would b a nice aternaty.

[@sierra2go765]

Freddie - forever young living in the lap of the gods 💝🤟👨👑 and in our hearts 💖

Freddie - so young and beautiful, full of life, passion and love, the only one. I don ´t know which version I like more, because both are great

[@denikennedy6675]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FREDDIE! 🥂 GREAT CHOICE OF B-DAY TRIBUTE SONGS, HAP3! 🥳👑🎶🎶 AWESOME REACTIONS!

[@lindastodola133]

The second version- Freddie’s voice just resonates- mercy- my soul!!

[@sharonjaggernauth8015]

So awesome to hear a man admit his love for and admiration of another man. 🙏🏻🤗

[@Bee-28]

If you really love someone, even an artist & his music, you connect to their soul on a vibrational/spiritual level that crosses time & space (not that time really exists, but that's another discussion). So beautiful that you can connect to him this way! And it makes me so happy that almost 50 years later people still discover& love Queen!!

[@adeleferreira553]

HAP your honesty in sharing a bit of yourself, with us, is admirable. I do enjoy your reactions. Thanks for this tribute to Freddie. Keep up the good work.

[@joymaxs2874]

Just so beautiful ❤️ speachless... I became a fan of Queen recently and catching up with lots of gem of Queen music with you Hap. Thanks for your lovely birthday celebrations on Freddie's 74th birthday. He must be so happy looking down from the heaven. 💕🎵

[@lindastodola133]

The second version- Freddie just strolling across the stage- no imposing effort! He was an absolute God! The band- mind blowing! I’m getting up in years- 68. I enjoy your show- you are not just a pretty face Hap-🙂 I’ve been a fan of Queen since 1975

[@rosariofurtadoleite9604]

Thanks Hap. Freddie is on of the Lap of the Gods, for sure. We miss him so much...this made me cry

[@paulabessant120]

Perfect ❤ You have the best dreams 🤪😃

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

Woaw How is it possible to not dream about Freddie.......omg I dream, he was to good to be true ❣️ he was so magical it cant be exsplained. And yes In the lap of the God’s its some spesial about, first time i hear it was from Hammersmith, and I start crying at ounc, after that I have a spesial feeling for the Hammersmith wersion....there its Rrrisky Hap 💕

[@elizabethrodriguez1095]

Thank you for this one Hap! AND can't forget to tell the king of Queen, himself, Happy Birthday friend! You are sorely missed. What a beautiful song you've chosen!

[@deeyears3978]

Happy Birthday Freddie 🤴🏻🎂🥰♥️💯‼️

[@sabvixen3374]

Nice choice for a very special birthday boy. Whist we hold him in our hearts and guard his memory his legend will endure. A day to remember this most perfect beautiful man. For a dreamy soul feeding song A Winter's Tale off the Made In Heaven album. You can get the video with Freddie's hand written lyrics on it. One of the last songs he composed and his vocals were done only months before his passing.

[@lindastodola133]

Nice this- down the rabbit hole with Queen- love you hear everything!! Thank you for the tribute to Freddie! ♥️👏

[@marywristen8766]

This versions is Awesome love 💘 it Happy Birthday Freddie you are so 💘.

Happy Birthday Freddie! You still have 9years on me! You look and sound beautiful. I love you Freddie.

[@sumerfluffy]

Happy Birthday Freddie!! Love 💓 the song choices! Lovely 🌹 reaction! ♥️♥️♥️

[@sandythomas5563]

I really love this song, especially when Roger cuts loose with that falsetto! That's just incredible. Naturally Freddie is wonderful. Freddie was born in '46 so he's '74 today. Happy birthday darlin'.

[@beckyrockwell7964]

I absolutely love all versions of this song. Great tribute to our Freddie. Happy birthday to the one and only 💞

[@kathyredman]

Perfect song for his birthday tribute. Love it!

[@debbiebush5887]

Great reaction Hap. What a good song to pick to play on Freddie's birthday. Thank you for doing that song. I dream about Freddie all the time. I first time I ever saw Freddie was about 1977. Fell in love with him and has loved him ever since. I cried my eyes out when he passed away in 1991. I miss him everyday. I am so thankful that we have all of this material to watch and listen too. Thank you Hap. I so enjoy watching you react to QUEEN. Much love to you my brother. Take care. QUEEN BEE.

[@HelenaDax]

In the lap of the Gods is just amazing. Every time I listen to it I feel blessed. I also love the revisited version, but I prefer the first one.

Happy Birthday, Freddie! What a wonderful tribute to the best ever! Love your Reactions

So love this..really nice tribute, gift..thanks...happiest heavenly birthday to our dear legend, Freddie Mercury!!!!

[@JaneRtn]

Totally agree ... if you love someone you dream about them... something in you is telling you something very important ... the vehicle chosen is something or someone you will pay attention to . Thank you for a wonderful tribute to Fred 👑🌹🎤🎶🎭

[@kidspack3taylor420]

Freddie is amazing

[@queenmiriam3058]

Beautiful and beautiful! I have no words, 70's Queen was something else, mesmerizing and mysterious. Happy birthday Freddie! Cheers to You, cheers to Queen, cheers Hap, cheers Queen fam🥂🍾

He came to me in my dreams it was wonderful 🥰🥰💖💕🥇👑🌹👍🤩😎😍😜💜🦋☮️

[@diesebellim9044]

thank you for playing again this song this was a nice song amazing freddie.. 💗👑🌟🎁 happy birthday to freddie a geniune man...

[@flyingcloud6776]

A good day to celebrate this magic pair of songs! Both live versions are great. The live version where he sings "rrrisky" was the night when they all badly suffered from the flu, but on that night here they were fit. So on another day you could do a double reaction to the studio versions, and you'd be surprised by some differences. In "the Lap of the Gods original", Freddies voice sounds deep, metallic and distorted. And in the studio version of ...revisited there are those delicate falsetto notes, the deep heartfelt suffering, it's so particularly precious. But that's for another day. Very nice idea, to react to both of the songs! Happy Birthday!!

[@camh5036]

Hammersmith 1975 is when they had the flu.

[@jeansands9303]

Love it💖💖💖💖💖 Thank you Hap3 Deacy on that bass Freddie's vocals/piano Roger smashing those drums and Brian with his guitar💕👑💖💕👑💖💕👑💖

If there were anything wrong with dreaming of Freddie and his songs, we would all be in serious trouble. I am glad he struck a cord with you too. Thank you for sharing with us, I always appreciate your comments and insight

[@elkrain9546]

You are not the only one with the dream thing happening. I personally feel there are a few (who authentically appreciate & love Freddie) that are the "chosen ones" for spiritual visits. I too have had visits/dreams and signs/communication from both Freddie and my son. I didn't really believe it all until certain things started happening after my son's death that were clearly intentional.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Always feel free to share what you have experienced. In your own time. 🙏🏽 (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@elkrain9546]

@@HAP3SPEAKZ I would share with you personally but not publicly. People are so mean and hateful nowadays. I would like to hear your experiences also but completely understand why you wouldn't share publicly.

[@michelletammydenney6549]

Your right. I have had visits also. It's great to meet other people that have.😁❤

[@michelletammydenney6549]

I love that you love Freddie. ❤❤❤

[@trego5509]

Nice tribute. The second one is a different performance than you reacted too (it was the Odeon 1975). Some people may not be aware that there were 4 shows at the Rainbow in 1974, two in March, November and December. You are not alone, I think he visits a lot of endeared people in some way or form ✌️

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Yes! Love it...thanks HAP 🤗🎶🔥

[@janeenegromachey9752]

I wish to thank you so very much for playing this song for his birthday 🎂 🎁 🎈. I wish i heard it a week ago. I very much appreciate it.

Freddie is in the lap of the gods !

[@korinalacount2664]

A lesson we all can learn in life,especially today,to take your own life in your own hands,that all our successes depend on us and only us,that when we throw the dice luck is in our favor,great song and dedication for Freddie Hap,glad u revisited it ,of course love Rogers very high falsetto too!

Great birthday tribute for Freddie. Love this song both versions.

[@bettybaby63]

Thank you. Wonderful choice. Love you still Freddie.

[@taniagariepy]

Thank you 😭😭😍😍

[@vincemandarano9607]

A good song that showcases each and everyone of them is Dragon Attack from Montreal 1981. It 's like a jam, so good...

[@susancooper3111]

Y3S! YES YES ! That live performance is one of their BEST EVER . HAP, YOU MUST SEE THIS ONE, It is a favorite of the band as well & John Deacon's all time #1 fave of all time songs... HAP, PLEASE REACT TO IT, here's the link: GREAT SUGGESTION BY Vince.! Perhaps my favorite of sexy Mr Farenheit, I always need a 🛁 🚿 shower after watching it 😅 😳 SWEET DREAMS HAP!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4jahGqmgt6bedU

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

Hap, their precision and directing how there songs were filmed was all choreographed by the band. Right from the start to their last live tour, The Magic Tour which they did two at Wembley and had to put a third concert on (Knebworth), because all the Wembley tickets were sold so,quickly

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

I’m watching The Tribute Concert right now

[@melinakristinmercury9586]

I feel exsactly like you for this song Hap.....spesial for the Rrrrrisky one 😊 but this was amazing.....I kiss the dust of your feet for this Hap! I really love this song thanks so inctedible much for react to this on Freddies birthday 💕 👑🎤🎹🍾🥂 ( wow the harmonies in sekend one is marvelous mg )

[@sallymj5588]

Lap of the God studio version is so cool as well. With Queen being in sync was everything from the beginning!!! True excellence and brilliance.

[@hippiejane2683]

Great to see them together. Always wondered if Roger said that he couldn’t reproduce that falsetto for live performances so they rewrote it. Probably not, just a hunch on my part. Gosh, that smoke machine got a workout.😊 Happy Birthday Freddie.

[@royhaukedal3264]

Perfect!!!🙏thanks!! And I think you are so right.. our persian prince/prince energy is still floating around to inspire us💕. Off course you must have both parts off Lap og the Gods. Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sannaolsson9106]

I prefer the Revisited version ❤❤❤

[@karolyn8644]

Thank you. I love the songs, love the video, love your reaction, love Freddie, and love Queen! Yeah, that's a whole lot of love! The Rainbow version of InThe Lap Of The Gods easily falls into my top ten list. This is from Queen's Sheer Heart Attack tour. Funnily enough, the song, Sheer Heart Attack was not included on the Sheer Heart Attack album. But the band was really on fire for the Rainbow concerts in '74. The November concert is available on DVD. I got my copy on eBay. I can tell you it is a great pleasure to sit back and watch the entire concert from beginning to end. I need to dig out my thesaurus and find a synonym for "great."

[@joan783]

Thanks for this. I would have thought you’d be dreaming about bicycle race 😃

[@johngraham5996]

fun fact from the early days, the first two albums (Queen & Queen 2) were originally titled 'deary me' and 'over the top'! which sound great titles!! and before settling on Queen as their name 'the rich kids' was the front runner! brian and roger would look ridiculous now playing live as the rich kids! 🙈 they made the right call 👑✊🇬🇧

[@anne-karinegayton9012]

Thank you so much for this reaction !

[@linaskranauskas]

Many people reacting to those songs are confused, they are just TWO different songs, that's all. Two completely separate songs :)

[@susancooper3111]

Many many months ago when u began reactiion videos to Queen, I followed u almost daily because I was very impressed how u were also teaching me HOW to listen to music BETTER... like u do.... U pointed out many parts of all the instruments in the background as they piped past my ears. U hear every part of their music while I often just listened to Freddie's voice. I have learned so much from u, Hap ! I actually enjoy music more now since u bothered to stop the videos & said "listen to Brian's part, or that riff of John's was imcredible" or "WOW, did u hear that falsetto of Roger's ".... U helped me learn how to hear what's in the background, behind the lyrics, & I am wondering what your profession is, a music producer perhaps? (Ha, per-Hapz?) Sounds like one of yr funny comments ! You've now become what I predicted way back, a total Queen devotee ! It was inevitable & I just smiled over the past months seeing it happen to u. Queen grabs onto some of us & makes us appreciate how truly great their music is & it has totally invaded you thru these musical experiences with yr Queen reactions. Welcome to the club, Hap. Yup, we all are in 💘 love with Freddie too. He exudes passion for music & u so obviously respect that in him. Thanks for such articulate observations, peppered with yr wonderful laugh, you are absolutely charming & a delightful man ! OK, I'm going to say something I wasn't going to say, but yr courageous remark tells me to say one more thing... you are absolutely gorgeous/ to look at too ! There, I said it ! Yup, you are so, so handsome.! ... those beautiful laughingl eyes of yours, that perfect nose, the sweetest smile, your shiny jet black hair ... you could pass for Freddie's brother ! And we so appreciate yr acknowledgement of dear Freddie's ❤ birthday on here.. It shows what a thoughtful fan of his u have become. Maybe one day you u will tell us a little more about yourself? Are you in the U.K.? Are u in the music industry? And we are always looking fwd to yr next Queen reaction, you"re " SIMPLY THE BEST " as Tina Turner's song goes! From Sailor Suzie

[@trudehunnicutt8214]

On a beautiful night many years ago when the planets were perfectly aligned, the sky opened up and 4 of the brightest stars in the universe fell to Earth and a band named Queen was born. One by one those 4 stars will eventually have to return to the heavens where they will shine brightly together for all eternity.

I loved this song so much and prefer the live version at the rainbow over studio version. Fabulous reaction

That are two songs in my opinion. I love them both ❤

[@marggie4129]

Thanks Hap3. I love them both but the first one is just unearthly.What a mood!

[@ben1ben]

You could've reacted to the studio Version of the Original first Lap of the gods song. It's very different from the Live version and has more Roger falsetto's in the Intro. The Live version is definitely sounding better but that Intro in the Studio version is like nothing else you've ever heard. (Here the Link to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5allGCZZr6UpMk ). I Really love the Second song its sounding good and Freddie's Vocals are amazing. But still it doesn't get me as good as the first one. Especially Roger singing in the first one makes everything about it thousand times better than it aleady was. *_HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FREDDIE MERCURY._* Great reaction.

[@yvrkid7070]

For a whole lot of fun you should react to the encore at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975 concert. Big Spender/Jailhouse Rock. Freddie being the greatest showman ever, and Roger in a crazy multi-coloured wig and Brian and John killing it.

[@bigmallly7863]

Cheers Hap3, a brilliant song which also had a different studio (album) version............kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5allGCZZr6UpMk.......... Not wishing to spoil the celebration of Freddies birth, I'm still hoping someone will do a youtube first & react back to back to "Zombie" by "The Cranberries" & "Bad Wolves"..............I can't think of anyone else I would like to see react to these..........once you know the background story, it's a very emotional, powerful song which I promise you won't regret.

[@leonarae8496]

Please listen to Too Much Love Will Kill You. I’m sure it will also become a favourite as soon as you listen to it. There’s two versions, one sung by Freddie and one sung by Brian who actually wrote it. They’re both equally as beautiful as the other so I’ll leave it to you to choose which one to do. Happy Birthday Freddie my love. RIP

[@nyima04011]

Thanks! LOL, jealous of your dreams! Happy Birthday Freddie, thanks for everything!!! I hope you'll watch "...Revisited" from the Wembley performance - it's so powerful - at least for your own enjoyment (it's short unless you catch the whole medley - w/ 7 Seas & Tear it Up...kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOQpoiwgdpmjcU
