- A highly suggested Queen performance, live at the Rainbow 1974, this is "In the Lap of the Gods". It started good, but finished great. And more '70's fashion commentary by Coach.

I will never tire of Roger's falsetto. How can a man with such a gravelly normal voice have a crystal clear falsetto like that? Great reaction as always 😊
Agreed. And thank you!
@@CoachCastTV I said to my friends 30 years ago like you say. He sounds like Rod Stewart.
And a Swedish singer too... Bjorn Skifs (ogachaga ogachaga....hooked on a feeling).
There is a little know artist called Ben Mills who has a voice like Rod and Roger, very underrated
Yay!!! So glad you reacted to this. Roger sounds like an angel from the heavens. ❤
Roger could sing extremely high falsetto because he was a choir boy in a cathedral when he was young
I love Roger Taylor's falsetto singing voice in this song! Just love it! Freddie, John and Brain are wonderful here too! I enjoyed this video reaction too!
Your face when Roger hit that ridiculously high note! And to think he did that every night during that tour!
Such a sweet, heavenly song… and Roger’s voice is from another world. Try and listen to ‘39, also, you can hear his incredible voice in it, too.
You can never have enough Queen.
I was so happy to see this reaction! One of my favorite examples of Roger’s beautiful falsetto in the 70s!
Roger Taylor’s “Dog Whistle Falsetto” (as Freddie called it)😍
The "style" was glam rock. Freddie said it was "ridiculous, but it worked".
Very nice Song....❤
I love this performance .. Freddie looks & sounds amazing!! And Roger’s falsetto?? “Dog whistle ..” quipped Freddie! Roger is the highest placed tenor despite his raspy voice. He was always able to sing consistently high notes up to A5-B5 live in his prime before starting to lose upper range due to age & smoking. 🚬
I love watching people react to this song when Roger lets loose
Yes that was Roger. His voice span was E-2 - E6. It was just him and Freddie on this song. The original band was just Brian May and others, then Brian hired Roger Taylor on drums with a bonus that he could sing and play drums. Freddie, born in Zanzibar was taken into the band, Smile by Brian and Roger and changed their name to Queen with Freddie's insistence. After trying out several bassist, John Deacon was hired. All four wrote hit songs but everything sounded better with Freddie singing per Brian. Thank you for this reaction. So nice to wake up to a Queen song.
Roger's voice is amazing!
That cape thing Brian wore alot, oh my Lord, so 70s 🤪
LOL!
Queen - you name a genre they played it
Ballad or up-tempo...Queen brings power to their performances.
I highly recommend medley from Wembley 1986, In the lap of the Gods, Seven seas of Rhye and Tear it up. It's just perfect! Please react!
The whole band is awesome!!! Love Freddie's amazing smooth vocal,when they all play their instruments plus their look!!! They are fabulous!!!!!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for reacting to this one ❤ It's a really beautiful short song and Roger's vocals are just angelic.
As the Boomer generation ages out (myself included), I expect we will see "In the Lap of the Gods" on tombstones or grave markers. I would interpret that as code for "Queen fan, loved that song, it says it all, I am there now." Love this version live best.
i think you really would like queen‘s „fight from the inside“ and „loser in the end“, both sung by roger taylor, the drummer. if you wanna hear freddie‘s hardest song for his voice i would recommend the song „gimme the prize“, a song of the soundtrack to the movie „highlander“.
Later Roger was not able to sing these very high notes. Freddie titled it as a dog whistle. 🤣 Pls, check out Flick of the Wrist from the same concert.
Roger when he was a boy earned a scholarshil to a catherderal school as a boy serprano i guess he never lost it 😂 blessings from one of you patrions from England xx
We appreciate you! Yeah, he is something else on the vocals. LOL
I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again, 70s was the best! Oh and by the way absolutely the 70s fashion will rule as best of all time lol! I was a teenager in the early 70s and in my early 20s in the late 70s and big wide bellbottoms and all were the way to go. And don’t even start with how Great the ladies of the 70s looked!
😆 🤣
I love this song I think it is great. 70's were so cool, life was good and free.
That was a typical reaction Coach, the look on your face when you first heard Roger's falsettos....classic reaction. Thank you so much...
BTW, on Wikipedia, they list this song as Freddie singing lead and Roger "screaming"! I could not believe my eyes... not just 'back-up vocals' but "screaming"! I'M APPALLED!! Some of the best vocals on the planet and they degrade it with "screaming".... Another great example of Roger's falsettos is "My Fairy King" and "Ogre Battle"... blessings.
Roger is a beast on drums and vocals. Total package.
It's totally amazing how he could go so high
After this 👑 gem it is really time for " In the Lap of the Gods (revisited)" Hammersmith Odeon 12/24/1975 - it is completely different song from that. The gig happened at Christmas eve and at the end don't miss all the Christmas presents from 👑to the crowd ...😮😂
They sure can not be boxed into a specific genre, this was the original In the Lap of the Gods. There is also a revisited version that is totally different and you need to react to it at some point and time, please. I enjoy you all so much and thank you for the reactions!
Excellent reaction yet again,glad you liked it as it really is a lovely song and rogers vocals along with freddies are amazing.
Only queen would create two songs with the same title so you must try out the other one, in the lap of the gods revisited, totally different and tere is a video from the wembley 86 concert where it is played as the first song in a three song medley along with seven seas of rye and tear it up, you would love it, please give it a go.
When they do all the studio WORK, all the harmonies, overdubs with vocals and guitars, it changes the song a lot because there is only so much you can do live. PLEASE, do your ears and minds a favor and hear Queen in the Studio!!! (With headphones, lots of LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER of vocals/guitar/drums. You’ll thank me if you do
Great reaction, I love early Queen. Who am I kidding, I love all of Queen's vast catalog. I always look forward to reactors hearing Roger's dog whistle and Coach you did not disappoint. 😂
LOL, glad you enjoyed!
BTW Coach,
I LIKE the 70s fashion! There was so much FLAIR.😉
And in the 80s… allll those wristbands! And headbands (Thank HEAVEN Freddie & the guys didn’t wear the terry cloth headbands.😝) AND the contrasting KNEE PADS (Freddie wore those briefly in the early 80s🤣Whyyyy?!?)😆
😆 🤣 Yes, and parachute pants and the mullets! And all the Aqua Net hairdos that probably put a hole in the ozone layer. Good times! 👍
Love this record..... The reprise is the better one imo thank you to reacting again guys .....quality you are 👍😎
❤❤❤❤I like this version
Each to their own theresa and I think it's revisited rather than my dislexia getting involved but thank you for your opinion truly 👍😎
In The Lap of the Gods studio version is different again Roger’s voice is soooooooo angelic brilliant song love it thank you for reacting to this ❤❤ it was the first song in a medley of four after this one is Killer Queen then March of the Black Queen & finally Bring Back That Leroy Brown x love seeing people’s faces when Roger unleashes his falsetto 😂😂
Love your reaction to Roger's falcetto! Bohemian Rhapsody,"Bohemian Rhapsody next please. Let's hear his Galileo and what made Queen Queen and billions of people to fall on their knees.
Coach knows that song very well, and thinks Mrs. Coach knows it also, so it probably wouldn't be much of a first time reaction for us, unfortunately. It was one on the very short list of Queen songs we knew from the radio hits.
Roger and his ‘dog whistle’…❤Love this whole medley❤Thanks for the great reaction❤
Very beautiful ❤️❤️ I love the 70s Bohemian fashion, I still wear it🙂great reaction
Thank you so much 🤗
Master musicians, it was great to see them all playing their part! Love Freddie on the piano, and Brian's high notes are superb. PS I lived through seventies style, and here they were glam rock - nail varnish, satin, high heels and jewellery.
This is great phenomenal. This is part of a 4 song medley and I do suggest you do the medley together
It’s more than awesome 7:55
Look back at what I wore in the 1970s and cringe! Ridiculous stack boots (which made me bang my head a lot because I’m already tall). I think my father despaired when I unpicked the seems of my jeans up to the knee and stitched big triangles of leopard spotted material. Another pair had big triangles of bright red PVC. I won’t mention my long stringy hair and multicoloured striped sweater… What is even stranger- I joined the Royal Air Force a few years later and found myself telling people to smarten up and not to let their hair get too long!
😆 🤣 Great story! 👍
Mrs.Coach...this is for you....not to react to...just enjoy it...2.41 mins......”Queen-Freddie Mercury-at Fashion Aid”....the Persian Prince looking his finest...playing the part of a groom...Jane Seymour is his bride....Michael Caine with a face like thunder when Freddie starts throwing flowers to the audience...and the musicians...the choir...all eyes were on Freddie....bare chest...bare feet...Freddie the legend🤩
Yes!! Been waiting to see your reaction to Roger's angelic high nite in this performance! I had the same reaction haha 😂
One of their underrated gems which is one of my absolute favourites is Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy live top of the pops 1977! The melody and lyrics are smooth too think you will like it
Keep up the content guys! 👌👍🔥💯😎
Thanks!
It was obviously about to slide into another song, almost seamlessly. Too bad the video stopped where it did because the next song is very cool. Maybe someday you can play the next song of that concert. Great reaction.
Too short! Perfectly too short, I mean, always leave 'em wanting more, right?
This is the same kind of energy that Electric Callboy, Ado, and Babymetal bring to the table. Any time you think you've got a grip on the things a group does, you click on the next one and get surprised again!
This channel is like mouthwash for my brain after a hard days work, thanks CoachCastTV! 😁
LOL...haven't been called that before but have definitely been called worse! Haha!
Oh I remember when I tried to sing like Roger T. My voice cracked and could'nt talk proparly for 2 days 😂
😆 🤣
There’s another In The Lap of the Gods REVISITED that extends the song, seems the opposite sides of a coin almost. I love Queen and Freddie and yes, even the styles. It was a trippy time.
Thank you! Queen were never afraid to experiment and stretch the boundaries. I agree that this song is too short. This is an early version of the song. Later, it was 'revisited' and changed quite a bit, with an opportunity for the audience to join in with a bit of a chorus. Even though I lived through the seventies, I agree about the fashions. We were experimenting too!
In an interview once, Freddie said with a laugh that looking back, he didn't know what he was thinking when he designed some of the earlier stage costumes....
Now then, I've mentioned Pentatonix before... I've only recently found them myself, since I started checking out reaction videos... I know you like harmonies, and PX are all about the harmonies. Their most recommended song is a cover of the Leonard Cohen song 'Halleluja' - although the Pentaholics would say they don't do covers, they do 'upgrades'. I guess their count of 734 Million views on the official video probably confirms that assertion... 😉
Wow, impressive. We'll have to take a look at some point.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
this performance has the most unique of Roger's falsetto.
I HIGHLY recommend the 1975 Live at Hammersmith Odeon version of Lap of the God. I think it's the BEST of Lap of the God. and there is a point where the camera is in close on Freddie and he feels compelled to nod his head to two beats but he's with his microphone and piano so he just leans to his left and does his 2 nods and goes right back to playing and singing. I ❤ IT
Great reaction guys
Thanks!
I think this may be the wrong song. You should watch " in the lap of the god revisited " wembley 1986
Great reaction as usuall . . . . Another Queen song you mite like to check out is their first top 10 hit . . 'Seven Seas of Rhye ' . . . Or the legendary . Live Aid concert from Wembly . . . Among the greatest live performances by any band . . . Ever. . .
Till the next one . . Take care . 💐🇳🇿🙏🍻
Thanks! Live Aid is actually on the channel. Unfortunately, CZcams wouldn't let us post it without covering the video. The unedited is on Patreon.
In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited Odeon Hammersmith 1975 .
great reaction - but there is no more to this. Do NOT be tempted into thinking "In The Lap Of The Gods - REVISTED" is a longer version. It's not. It's a completely different song. Enjoy
Thanks, Coachies.. there were actually two versions of this song... check out the other one (revisited: czcams.com/video/ieXcPZC0MJk/video.html) when you have a chance... impressive live.. the vocals from the band (Damn, Roger!).. as well as instrumentation are, shall we say, "unique"... lol
I discovered this song within the last year and it quickly became one of my favorites. I hugely prefer their live performances over studio versions. There is a “revisited” version of this song that is arguably better and more popular you should check out. Same name just add revisited.
So I am a bit new to your channel and I’m a huge Queen fan. May I suggest you go back and do or compare the studio versions? Whole different animal on the studio and you are MISSING SO MUCH!!!! Please don’t get me wrong, love them live but the crazy harmonies and all the stereo tricks were what made Queen QUEEN in the first place.
Thanks. We may listen to some more studio as we go. We've had a lot of requests for live and we love live music as well, so that's why most have been live versions. We realize the studio versions (and other live versions) are all different. Thanks for watching!
Hi Folks! Short, yes, but they were about to go into another song. This is a good example of Freddie's desire to not "just copy the record" and start playing with arrangements live. You went there to see certain songs, but you'd end up seeing something you'd never see again. The one constant is the "Brighton Rock" solo that the Doc played practically note for note for 40 years. It never got old. Anyhoo, as far as the 70s fashions and Freddie in particular, all I can say is, for some of us, that was like Tina Turner in a miniskirt to the fellahs. He made it impossible to look away. It's not like he wore that stuff in the street. Shoot, Elton John wore way weirder and yeah, on the street. And not everybody loved 80s fashion. Having lived through it, I'd go back to the 70s in half a minute to avoid the cultural sucking chest wound that was the 80s. Oh well, tomato, tomahto. Cheers, folks.
LOL, great comment. And yes, it's amazing how they change things up for every concert. I'm sure it made going to their concerts something that felt fresh every time.
@@CoachCastTV I just heard the Doc giving a talk about the IMAX Live In Montreal show. He said when they were filming, they wanted Freddie to wear the same costumes for two nights so they could cut the two. I won't repeat what the Doc said Freddie's response was, but it rhymed with "Duck True." RIP Freddie.
@@cainealexander-mccord2805 🤣😂
The reason people requested this song is purely for Roger Taylor.
And Freddie on piano.....
Love this song! I also love the dynamic duo of Freddie and Roger. They're both amazing. Thank you for your great reaction. You always makes me happy❤🙂
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!
Sound like Bohemian Rhapsody
"keep yourself alive" live Montreal
I was born in 1979 and loooking back at the 70's, without Glam Rock fashion (which undoubtedly influenced punk) I think the whole decade would be Brown, Beige and the strangest of hairstyles. I always wondered how you would ask the hairdresser about the style you wanted back then? Lol
😆 🤣
12/24/75 version of this is a completely different version!
You've just got to do the studio version of this song to appreciate it more.
LOVED your REACTION to In The Lap of The Gods. YES Roger Taylor can certainly hit the high notes. LOOKING FORWARD to YOUR next REACTION video. 😊❤👍
Thanks! 👍
Showing Queen 1981 Imax worldwide for just four days starting tomorrow, not sure what the relevance is for four days only, or 1981 from Montreal, the group didn't enjoy the filming of the concerts, the cameras got mainly in Freddie way, and the security at the theatre told the audience not too move around which went down like a lead balloon with the group. Sir Brian has a video of a screening in London last night on his CZcams Channel
Do the live version at Wimbledon 1986 u will be amazed u really need to watch it 3 songs in one ty God Bless
Wembley
There are 2 different versions of this song, as per on the album, the other version is more anthemic , and they played it to close out the concerts in the early years
No there isn’t 2 versions of this song, and this has already been confirmed by Brian, the closing song on the album just has the same name and they added ‘revisited’ to it, both songs have nothing whatsoever to do with each other
@CoachCastTV OMG! Another excellent reaction! Please more Queen? Why have you relegated this classic, yet current, band to only one reaction per week? I definitely understand needing to reach a wide audience, but...😪As you, I love keeping up with other genres, but you have a great appreciation for Queen, yet Queen only once per week? ... Please delve deeper and more often? PS: 'Lap of the Gods Revisited' is available on YT, too :-)
Thanks! We have almost 40 groups we've reacted to based on our playlists and probably triple that number that we want to get to at some point. Some that we've really enjoyed we haven't gotten back to for months. Just too much content, so little time.
Please please please do The Prophet's Song (lyric video) next. It's hard for me to imagine that one isn't near the top of that long request list. Death on Two Legs (lyric video) should be up there also. Perhaps your Queen fans could list their top 3-5 videos they would like to see you react to as well?? I'd be happy to list mine just to see how it compares to your average Queen fan's most wanted. :) Keep up the good work Mr. and Mrs. Coach!!!
Yes, The Prophet's song is a masterpiece.
Thank you. We'll try to get that one soon.
The song is the first track on the vinyl and the same titled song with revisited added is the last track. The revisited version is slightly longer/slightly different and Freddie's vocals sound weird in one part of it. I suspect his voice was manipulated for the record.
Both from the album Sheer Heart Attack. The song Sheer Heart Attack was written, but not recorded until 1977 for the News Of The World album.
The guitar Brian is playing was made with his father when he was a teenager. The body cane from an old fire place.
Brian has. PhD Degree in Asyrophysics.
Roger has a BSc in Dentistry.
Yesss! i suggested this one i love this video
Good suggestion! 👍
Now there are Bible songs, one is "Jesus" very religious but a fantastic guitar solo and a demo which was originally left off the first album "Mad the Swine" which is just bonkers and i don't know if you would like it. "Soul brother" is a falsetto extravaganza written by Freddie dedicated to Brian
Hey coach I know you love to hear a metal shred so I'll recommend a couple of Bands you need to get into Judas Priest and Then there was also a ban from Kansas called shooting star it's hard to puller videos but Check these 2 out
J Cole -wet dreams
THese live vids are very cool to experiece,but--with Queen,you don't get the gyst of the songs before hearing the studio versions first. Just sayin'... Also-- not sure what Queen sometimes were going for would be easily grasped by you two southern folk(?) Enjoy your channel tho.. T
Should have listened to the In The Lap of Gods Revisited. Much better that this one
Please more blackpink!!! ❤❤❤
Coach Please do BLACKPINK 2023 Guide 🥺❤
I still love the 70s style. I hate the 80s style. BAM!!! 👊👊👊
LOL!
@@CoachCastTV 80s sucks! 😜
43rd like 👍
In the Lap of the Gods Revisited is much better.
Hey Coach...get over it...just because you don’t like the fashion......the real Queenies do😁...and OMG...it’s a ballad .....Roger sounds like a banshee ......this was 1974...from the “Sheer Heart Attack” album.....Personally I adore their clothes....maybe it’s because I’m a European....as an aside......when my brother in law got married he wore a purple suede suit.....he had red hair and looked spectacular!🤩
LOL! That's great. Coach has to pick on '70s fashion a bit. It's a requirement for an '80s teen.
