One of Plant's best live performances vocally, absolutely incredible siren-like high notes here!

[That One Asian Guy]

Jowox has actually sent me a number of e-mails with Plant high notes including some B5s; could check them for their fullness and/or forward them to you.

[Dance Champion]

Righto, I'll have to check the tape speed too though

[Curiosity]

Is the G#5 in "I'm Gonna Crawl" full? It really sounds it, but it was recorded in 1979, when Plant's range had diminished substantially. Weird.

[Dance Champion]

The G#5 is 100% full, weird for sure!

[Dance Champion]

Also, finally came up with a verdict on "Love Me" - G2.

THIS however is extremely interesting!

At full speed, 0:08 sounds like an E2, which is good news already assuming it's full...

But if you chop off and loop the end of the note...

http://www.zshare.net/audio/79503877473a4314/

Sounds as low as D2/C#2.

[Curiosity]

Full I'd guess. Calling To You is a 1993 song and Plant's voice has been sounding lower for a while now. Still, pretty weird considering 20 years earlier he sounded as if he was approaching his lower limit on those Love Me G2's!

Check out 1:14; that glissando sounds full up to A5, then he switches to falsetto for just the B♭5. The A5 itself doesn't sound strikingly full, but it's too different from the B♭5 to be anything else.

Also, finally came up with a verdict on "Love Me" - G2.

D2, I think.

There's a Bb6 there somewhere in the first video. And that 3:18 to 3:24 slide, I can't figure out where it ends. I think he hits a Bb5, and then cracks hitting a falsetto E6 or something.

Yup, I got them from him.

He is one Youtuber who wants to help us with Robert Plant and his notes.

You don't even know, man...he sent me EIGHT messages about various Plant notes in the SAME DAY!

I thought you were Panda? Maybe I'm wrong. Either way good to have you here, some interesting discussion going on thanks to you.
