- My 1 man band solo take with vocal harmony to simulate a quartet, and using the Clavinova's built-in instruments to perform both the piano and guitar parts. Filmed on a Zoom Q2N 4k recorder at Tom Lee Music Richmond in a single live take, Electone Style, using my own customer Bohemian Rhapsody accompaniment rhythm style.
I'm not Freddie, and I'm not fellow Canadian Marc Martel (who's so good they used him to sub for Freddie in the Bohemian Rhapsody film) but I've attempted instead to recreate the entire band's performance
This was the 2nd best take; I will probably upload the other 2 decent takes that both had their flaws (the 3rd best take... the "headbanger' drums didn't auto start (ironically that was the only take that didn't), and the best take was too loud (even though I checked the VU on the Zoom was never in the read).
Accidentally sang the 1st Galileo in the wrong octave, which threw me off; I also flubbed a few notes (one at 2:05, and a bunch during the headbanger outtro) and in this recording, I accidentally turned the mic too far down (you can barely hear the harmonies). Tried using software to increase the volume, but the watermark for their editor covered the piano keys in the video, so I just uploaded the raw footage from the camera.
Here's the take immediately after, which would have been the best take but I turned the mic gain back up slightly ... and of course that was too much (it distorted).

We subscribed to you on the boys’ channel too 😊.
Wow! This is one of the most difficult pop songs to play. It has many, many chord changes, and many tempo changes. Your command of such difficult song is admirable. Your arrangements on the keyboard were excellent. And most amazingly for me, your singing performance was so powerful, you sang the entire song without having to drop any octaves! Not many singers in the world can do that.
Congratulations my friend, you are truly gifted :)
This is Sinan by the way.
Thank you so much! So, you're saying that it's not bad for a guy who's approaching 50? :)
You are too hard on yourself. This is killer and a good showcase to what is possible on that keyboard
Thanks for the kind words, Robert!
Great cover Mark and thanks for the Live performance at the store on Saturday! 👍
Mark, you're a busy man doing this piece! I have a PSR-S970 which you say doesn't have vocal harmonizers, but I'll likely come anyway, if just to learn how you were able to program the voice and rhythm pattern changes, which I assume you changed using pedals? You seemed to be using a piano sustain intermittently, which would leave one pedal to change the instrument voices and rhythm off-on/sync start/stop activity. Pretty damn impressive!! I can't play like you can, but I'd like to understand how you were able to make all those changes, which seemed to me to be more than the standard four settings permitted by the OTS. Great work!
The s970 has vocal harmonizers (in fact I started doing the registration programming on my s970); I said the 7xx series doesn't have them. As in s700, s710, s750, s775 (they didn't even have a mic input before the s775). Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody required about 30 registration program changes, which I always use pedals for (I only bothered filming the pedals separately and pasting onto the corner of the video for the Batman Theme video, and that's because I don't know how to... a friend of mine filmed that for me in 1 take, then asked me to play again 2 more times so he could video the screen and pedals into the same video.
He has since become an actual director; I've no idea how to insert PIP into videos like that.
