Following on from the MOTBQ piano thread, here's my version of In The Lap Of The Gods, as promised.
It was (obviously) much quicker to do than MOTBQ, as once the intro's over there's not a lot to it. But, though I suspect people were only really interested in the intro, I did the whole song for the sake of completeness.
Nailing all those arpeggios takes a bit of work, and I didn't quite get them all as precise and even as I would have liked. But what's there is the best of about a dozen takes. I suspect if we heard the isolated piano track, that Fred's playing wouldn't be totally clean here either.
There's really only one brief section where I [i]really [/i]can't hear what's being played, when it goes to C minor and the pattern changes for one bar. I've had to make a best guess as to what is going on there.
Here you go, and hope you enjoy.

GREAT!!!
Not the best version ever, that would be played by Freddie (let's be honest), but one of the greatest! :)

That's beautiful, thank you Bohardy. Perfect gift for a Sunday. You are right, once the intro's over there's not a lot to it, but the intro alone worths it, and then it's nice to hear the complete piece .
Seriously, who would have thought this is a piano track came from a rock band? Freddie must have been a very sensitive soul to have written this.

That's fantastic Bo!!!! Love it!
You now have me wondering whether to complete my demo of this from 2003. Didn't have a decent piano (Roland EP-5) so it only went down to a low A. Had to transpose any lower notes with Transcribe. They all have this lack of bite to them.... Everything is just a demo and no proper take yet or mixing/eq etc etc so all parts will be re-recorded properly.
You're a git!! Ha ha. You have caused me new interest into old demo's. If I were to do it...maybe we could join and I use your keys? (Just thinking) I have SO many others on the go and like I said, this is just a re-visit in the pipe-line.
