  • I just shed a tear for the sheer beauty of this performance

  • In The Lap of the Gods ....Revisited*

  • This is "In the Lap of the Gods (Revisited)" but still . . .

  • *__*

  • The Gods are singing, the profanes must obey

  • Say what you will about his sexual orientation but in his entire career he has a GLORIOUS taste in coats

  • 1:10-1:13 and 1:32 have always puzzled me - can you genuinely hear John on backing vocal, or is he merely mouthing Bri and Rog's harmonies?

  • 8 personas son imbeciles.

  • Freddie Mercury Te Amo Espero Vernos En El Cielo

  • Incredible

  • they just don't make performers like that anymore, do they?!

    i really can't think of any other musician, who has such a captivating stage personality like freddie mercury. sure, a lot of bands put on a good show, but that's not the same.

  • If you pause at 47, and just try to visualise yourself on that stage in front of that crowd. Me personally i feel sick just thinking about that lol

  • Es ist schade .. das viele nicht mehr vertehen das Freddy einen Auftrag hatte ! Queen ist eine Lebenseinstellung :) von nix kommt nix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! Menschen wie Freddy, gibt es leider immer weniger ;( .....und KFC ist EIN negativ beispiel dafür wie sich die welt (Menschen) verändern. Aber ich bin Staying Power und ich weiss es gibt noch mehr :-) We are [QUEEN] thx ..

  • increible, freddie en verdad hace que nosostros los mortales correemos varias de sus canciones, cantar en un concierto asi es muy simbolico y demuestra su poder LARGA VIDA AL VERDADERO REY DEL ROCK

  • this is really awesome. There are people out there who say that queen sucks and i am terribly ashamed to say that one of 'em is a friend of mine. Well, I say, and for me, my opinion is the most important of all, Queen Rocks!! Queen is the best band in the entire world!! Give me a singer that has a better voice than Freddie Mercury... Right! There isn't any.

    When the Great Freddie died, I cried day and night for two weeks and today I still feel that there's something missing inside of me.

  • Sends shivers down my spine.

  • Farrokh Bulsara... perfect voice, classically trained on the piano,songwriter,designed Queens logo..collector of Japanese art..Beautiful,shy sweet and yes ..sexy... part of something so perfect. Brian May Guitar Master Brilliant song writter, Roger Taylor great on drums and that falsetto John Deacon wrote some of Queen's most memorible songs and amazing bass player.. I miss your presence Freddie Mercury..I admire how you lived...and died on your termsGlad I got to see Queen LIVE

  • @helga284 How can he be shy if he can be so confortable in front of tens of thousands of people?

  • @MrJasonSmarts cause he was one of the greatest frontmen in history..it was a show..everytime I saw them blew me away..he once said no one could be like that all the time..it was for fun he wanted to put on the best show...and he did..in private..he was quiet soft spoke and shy...

  • That shot at 0:47 to 0:52 is so iconic. The greatest rock singer of them all, on his own front stage serenading the masses, it's so stirring. And then the chorus kicks in everyone joins in with the song, it's f'ing timeless! This is one of the best performances I've seen.

  • Such a difficult song to sing live, let alone to a stadium of 70k. I saw another live clip of this and he wasn't going for the high notes at the beginning.

  • @itsonelouder1 he only did in 74 and 86

  • @itsonelouder1 Yeah, I saw that too, this one is so much better....I was singing along with the high notes (I'm a girl), and I ended up with a horrible sore throat...

  • @TheLinz78 lol, I also tried and ended up in a coughing fit! (I'm a guy)

  • we miss you freddie... when i go to the the longest dream... i hope to hear new songs from you...

  • 7 are not in the laps of the gods...

  • I was born only a few years ofter Freddie died, but would I be crazy if I said if give the choice between me dying and Freddie coming back to life of me living and Freddie stays dead I would with out a doubt choose to bring him back to this world. I never knew him, but I miss him. He is in the lap of the gods now though. I hope he is happy.

  • please, no advertising before queen videos!

  • Dear Freddie, You are a beast. Johnny, it's obvious that you enjoyed singing here, I love it, yes i do!

  • Freddie You Are THE VOICE

  • This has nothing on rebecca black

  • Freddie.

  • freddy is a dangerousproject from the lab of the gods cous he changed the world.

    but he escaped it took god a lot of years to get the project back.

  • キレイだなぁ悲しい歌なのに

  • obviusly, FREDDIE is in the LAP OF THE GODS

  • Oh, this isn't "In the Lap of the Gods" this is actually "in the Lap of the Gods...Revisited"

  • I'm crying..

  • @Davidnogwat It just shows that you have excellent taste in music. Queen will live on forever!!!!! Legends!!!!!

  • Esta es la mejor voz de todos los tiempos

  • VPL at 53'

  • I'm 13 yo and I'm a Queen fan since I was 3. Many times I'm being laughed at at school because I listen to Queen, Nirvana, Van Halen, U2 and so on. Then I ask them what sort of music is it that you are listening to now (I can't call it music). The strange thing is, when I let them listen Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free they all recognize it... Am I a fan of the wrong band or are my classmates a bunch of ignorant suckers?

  • Comment removed

  • @Davidnogwat ik zie dat je nederlands spreekt dus ff zo:

    grappig, alles wat jij zegt herken ik in mezelf: ik ben ook 13 en ik luister ook naar Queen, U2, Nirvana en nog wat :) ook mijn vrienden appreciëren mijn muzieksmaak niet.

    maar op het gebied van muziek luisteren WIJ toch echt wel naar de goede bands en zijn zij toch wel de sukkeltjes ;) x

  • allright, thanks guys

    

  • @samrick41 It's In the lap of the gods.... Revisited", from the Sheer Heart Attack album

  • It's a miracle!

  • This is not the song "In the lap of the gods"

    please someone explain

  • @samrick41

    well, this is "In the lap of the gods (revisited)" it is in the same album, I guess is the last song in that album....sheer heart attack I think. Check it out

  • @samrick41 Like some of the people tried to explain, this is the first part of "In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited", the last song (No. 13) on the "Sheer Heart Attack" album. However, there is a song of the same name, but not "Revisited", which is No. 7 on the same album and my guess is that you are referring to that song. BTW, I don't know if those songs are connected in some way, except for the name

  • When the crowd starts singing "wo la la wo wooh" is just giving me thrills!!

  • 2:15 :::: Magic

  • @rafapolle <---- joke of the day

  • @santillica Why?

  • @rafapolle Freddie>Michael <------fact

  • @santillica It's your opinion, not mine =)

  • Today I felt depressed because all I like is almost 30 years old... But I ran into this video and I feel better. It's may be old, Freddie is missing since 20 years, but hey, I saw them on stage 4 times. What can I ask more  from life ?

  • Words can't express how much I love this band...

  • Unbelievable performance. I'm speechless.

    Makes todays "musicians" look like pre-schoolers.

  • @angkssin hhHAa. Very true. SAD but True. : P

  • @angkssin Your comment is spot on!!!! I have to give it a thumbs up every time I watch this video!!

  • @angkssin

    A 'like' to that comment is not enough my friend. Pure genius music, never forgotten.

  • @angkssin Really depends on what kind of musicians you look at, but I suppose you only listen to pop..

  • @angkssin This is not only a good reaction it's treu to!

  • @angkssin They are pre-schoolers . . .

  • Outstanding ! .........

  • I cried

  • the world doesnt need another war, another leader the world needs freddy back. atleast someone like him. that would be nice, be really nice

  • @snidyglew91 I agree

  • It's not just music, its about inspiring, leading. Something the artists of today lack. Just look how the one man controls the crowd

  • to all of you being laughed at for your passion for Queen. You don't worry about those who laughed, they know shit and these good old rockers were back then much greater artist then all these mugs together. We don't know who Justin Bieber is yet and from what I heard here he cannot be compared at the age of 14 to our Freddie, no doubt, so no worries and head up and keep playing it loud.

  • It's not fair to say there is no talent out there today. But it is 100% accurate to say THERE IS NO TALENT LIKE THIS OUT THERE TODAY!

  • @LowFlyer1200 there is talent out there today, TRANQVILLIA

  • @4mayZing man, i wish i knew about queen when i was 13; see, its people like you that help recognize reall artists and bands, not the talentless artists like justin bieber or any of those artists who just write bs on their lyrics.

    i started playing guitar when i was 14, changed my life... you should probably start playing an instrument too if you dont :D, and u'll see that it's one of teh most beautifull things there is to life.

  • I'd sacrifice a testicle froom my manlilness to be stood at the front of that crowd, there and then! :)

  • @MrSweatyPants OF COURSE!! ME TOO!!!

  • @MrSweatyPants hahahaha very funny hahah

  • i wish to be near Freddie Mercury to sing together our songs ^_^

  • @australia007queen sorry, i wanto to give you a good hand, but i accidentally click the red hand, but i wish that too!!!

  • First time I heard this, all I heard was "simple life of a guy" instead of "it's in the lap of the gods".  It seemed to make sense :(

  • @KirbyHiSays ahahahahahahahhahaha i have made a big lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's true!now too me understand your phrase! simply amazing!

  • this is so great his voice is good

  • GREAT!!!

  • seven seas of rhye

  • man this jams so effin epic!! there will never, i mean there will never be another band that can come along and even scratch the surface of this bands talents and pure magic on the mic!! all hail the almighty queen!

  • soooo gorgeous!

  • It is ALMOST as good as the Earl's Court version (1977) where you hear John singing lol.

  • @Canaveral305 LOL and that was something else! Get 'em Johnny!

  • Just fucking Wow! It still amazes me how un naturally amazing they are....

  • There is so much of ... passion and feelings in this music. That is why it will survive for ever...

  • When i'm layed to rest it's in the lap of the Gods, Neville Bardoli

  • I have the dvd of this show and I have played the hell out of it for years. Never gets old.<3

  • whoaa whoaa la la laaa! wish i was there to sing along

  • this is amazing!

  • well here in Greece there are a few people that listen to Queen...but greek people listen to every shitty song that is new.....and half of the girls in my school like Justin Bieber and i go like ''Ooh for fuck's sake!!What's wrong with you people!!! I don't know why they don't like Queen...actually they know only two songs...we will rock you and we are the champions...well even though i'm greek i'm lucky that i grew up with my brother listening to u2 and other rock bands!:P and i love Queen!!

  • In the lap of the god of Rock

    We miss you Freddie!!

  • Majstersztyk :]]

  • Freddy, just killing em again with no mercy...the absolute best..unreal talent!! They can talk about Mick, Robert Plant, Daltry...all of them..but we all know the truth, he was the greatest front man ever!

  • I felt so warm when the crowd sang along

  • THIS is real music. R.I.P. Freddie the best singer ever

  • i love QUEEN FOREVER 

  • Song is awesome

  • Wish it was 5 minutes longer. It's so epic when the crowd sings along with them.

  • Im 13 and my friends think im retarded because like queen and that queen is gay because freddie was. Fuck them! They all listen rap and stupid shit like that!

  • @TheBiggsMafia : i know, I 'm 14 and also is the same thing happens to you

  • Queen 4ever

  • R.I.P

     good music

  • same,Betty.

    

  • i´m 11 and all my friends say i´m stupid or crazy because they all love rap and techno and other shit like that.i´m the only one of 921 pupil in my school. I LIKE QUEEN!!!!

  • The Best Version!!

  • If I had to pick one concert I would ever want to attend ever, this would've been it. I wouldn't have cared if I was in the nosebleeds!

  • Roger was always my favorite. Great drummer & singer.

  • I swear I could die for him just to bring him back to life... And I'm not a gay ;)

  • Jagg3rnaut, possibly as on Sheer Heart Attack, there was In The Lap Of The Gods, and In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited, which this one is. They sound very different

  • I downloaded the original "In the Lap of the Gods" from their album "Sheer Heart Attack" and was surprised at how different it sounded...def, DEFINITELY prefer the live version! RIP Freddie!

  • @Jagg3rnaut It's been pointed out above, but this is actually titled 'In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited'. Can't understand how they managed to confuse that on the tracklisting on this DVD, let alone not correct it on here!

  • me trae tantos recuerdos esta cancion, muchos recuerdos,

  • I Love This Song It's in the Laaaaap of The GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS!

  • Listen closely. Freddie is singing,.."I want you (us) in the lap of the Gods!

    What a powerful song that contains one single lyric. Freddie fills it full with his,..Whoa, whoa, na,na,na, da,da, dee,.....Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! "We know you're,..in the lap of the Gods Freddie!

  • Never mind this song is on the lap of the Gods, its been sang by a God!

  • Look at that crowd! Wow!

    Only Freddie could command such a crowd.

  • I'll second that thought MaceIII. Only Freddie could hold the entire audience in the palm of his hand! Watching these videos is nothing compared to being there. I first saw Queen in Denver, August 1982. When Freddie made his entrance I was immediately taken over by just his presence on stage! And he hadn't even sang one note yet! I cannot describe it. He just took over total control of the crowd!

    IT WAS MAGIC!

    IT WAS AMAZING!

    IT WAS FREDDIE MERCURY!

    That's all I can say.

  • this is the revsited version, the first version is most glam rock than this but this one is the best

  • ....revisited

  • I love how Queen kept these more obscure songs alive in their set even in these later years.

  • My God this guy can sing

  • incredible live performance,so powerful.The rawness in Freddie's voice at the start is mindblowing. Queen, greatest live performers ever, greatest band of all time. bar none.

  • Quando arriva il momento di questa magica canzone sono inevitabili i brividi. C'è un'atmsosfera da estasi e il tutto è narrato dalla voce di Dio...

  • Wonderful song. i can listen it again and again...

  • beautifull song

    miss  you very much freddie

  • Freddie, I miss you my hero =//

  • tHE BEST VERSION!!  tHANK YOU!!!

  • 18 years ago we lost the best rock voice ever...

    RIP FREDDIE, WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • 18 years already..

    R.I.P Darling

  • Great song.

  • ja pierdole ..coś pięknego..

  • 18 años despues de muerto y no hay nadie que se compare con fredie mercury sin duda fue una gran perdida

  • la mayor perdida d ela historia del rock

  • Best version...

  • so funnyyyyyyyyyyy..è perfetto in quel punto

  • Al doilea Fredi Merkiuri degraba nu va fi pe pamint---sa fie vesnic iubit de fani

  • damn to sell out a spot like that lets just say 20 bucks a person whoooo thats crazy

  • Freddie is amazing !

  • woooo, woooo la la la laa, woo, woo la la...

  • Is there a studio version on this song couldn't find one.

  • yes there is a couple of version's of this song on the ''Shearheart attack'' album.

  • yes, there is one, it's called "In the lap of the gods...revisited"

  • sorry i mean 26 july... =) im crazy...

  • im also 14, and i HATE modern music!

    Queen is the best band ever, and i mean it, they helped me when i felt bad and "couldnt find the reason of everything". i heard Queen the first time 2007, and since then i`ve listen up to 10 ours a day! and then i mean EVERY day! im read on queenonline almost every day.

    Roger, happy birthday 1 august congratulations!!!

    forever in my heart<3<3

    i know that im stupid but this music i cant live without<3 sorry if i spell something wrong

    Fanny, SWE <3<3<3

  • That's exactly how I am!!!!

    Everyone in my school loves rap and shit like that, where all they do is speak nursery rhymes, and talk about how much money they have with a couple curses thrown in.

    Queen is my absolute favorite band. EVER. And I'm 13. If I tell any of my friends about Queen, they go "Who's that?" and I look at them as if they're crazy.

    <333 Queen with allllll my heart and soul

  • I'm from portugal, And I've got 13 years old, too.

    I'm just in love with freddie and with queen.

    Forever king.

    Forever Queen.

    (:

  • @4mayZing same here,im thirteen,and my friends think im crazy and old fashioned when i tell them my favourites are bohemian rhapsody and we are the champions and other queen songs,all they listen to is lady blah blah,although all of that can never ever be compared to queen

  • @4mayZing exactly the same thing!!! well i'm 15 and my friends listen to pop and techno music and when i first told them about Queen they asked me the same thing and i had to tell them about we will rock you and we are the champions to make them understand!!!and they actually don't like Queen!! and i go like ''What the fuck??'':P:P

  • @4mayZing I am 12 years old, and i LOVE queen too :):):):)!!!!! and my friends also just like rap :(. i have a friend who just likes rap, and says queen is HEAVY METAL ¤(

    he just dont know wat REAL music is.

  • @4mayZing That's terrible. If they don't know why Queen are next time. Smack them in the face for me... And that's great, nice to see young people realising music when they hear it!!!!

  • @4mayZing

    I understand very well, me too I have this problem and I ask you know which group is Queen? (My favorite band) and I say it is? then I have to explain and call me ''grandma'' o''freak''

  • @4mayZing Im the same sitution friend!!! im mexican, but i live in canada, and all the guys of my age likes rap,pop,hip hop and that stuff!! but if i say them about Queen, they say: that´s old! that´s a "little good"...they'll never understand to my favorite band of my life, either the rock!! when i was 13, Queen was allredy my band of my soul and heart!!! I´m 16 and my love for Queen can't grow more!!! i understand you! but you,me and the world Queen fans will keep the Queen Flame On!!!Forever!

  • @4mayZing i feel the same way, im 14

  • @4mayZing means you got an education :P

  • @4mayZing

    Kudos 4may

  • @Queen7191: Your not stupid. You're a genius ^^

    There isn't any music like there was back then.. I'm 16 now. Guess we both were born too late.. =(

    Queen lives forever.

  • same here mate.freddie was the best.apart form elvis but he was amaerican.freddie was british but was a true super star.
