The vocal range of Freddy in all situations... just a legend. He's got it in studio with his legendary pure voice but when he had to shout he was unable to do it. *Caution* : i say it's his voice in studio but it's easier to modulate in a quiet room. Of course he had to be able to modulate this way. It's really different on stage with the high pressure. Any musician must secure his performance by playing the way he won't be too tired while a 2 hours performance.
@JackDan i believe his first tour in 1973 was his best voice but not the best singing, Freddie has honed his technique over time, but in the early Queen years concerts Freddie had his voice softer and brighter than ever and sang all studio verses in falsetto
Also I'm pretty sure he hits a solid G5 in Montreal '81 in "Get Down Make Love" in the first "Everytime I get HIGH". Not sure what to make of the E7 though.
The Americans are quite greedy when it comes to those shows. It’s a shame because those vocals would easily fit in with the Crazy Tour and no one would notice. I’m so curious what the first four shows sound like since they’re not in circulation because I’d imagine he’d be a different beast in them.
@@MintiesPoopin Do you think it's more that people who might have these shows don't want to release them or that they don't know they have something uncirculated?
Not really. His 6th octave notes are more or less just shaky and weird noises. He has some great C6's tho. But that E7 isn't countable at all. Probably just overtones
@@halloweenjack95 I think the F#6 in Liverpool 79 is counted since it sounds kinda strong and sustained and maybe also the G#6 in Leeds 82. I do think that the E7 isn't countable but it may be countable since many people consider yelps from other singers countable I don't really know Sorry for my grammar I'm not really a English speaker
Mercury didn't use his head voice when belting live, that's why he got nodules, because of bad technique and singing "against the rules" Also he was most likely a high baritone or a spinto tenor
@@rickysld Basically, according to a post on the forum by Ryan Newton, there are two reasons to believe that the soundcheck comes from the Japan 1979 shows. The first is that Freddie doesn't sound like his regular 1981 self, but more like how he did in 1979. In the soundcheck, Freddie can be heard straining his voice on higher bits, while even on the last show of the 1981 Japan tour, he sings them easily. The second is a certain piano melody during the soundcheck that Brian plays after the line "It's just as though I hold a flower that touches you". He plays the melody for the first time at the 4/25 show, but not at any of the 1981 shows. Ryan's conclusion is that the soundcheck may come from either 4/23 or 4/24, but mostly likely from 4/23.
Nah, he’s always done his usual live phrasing in that part, although some early versions have him hitting the B4s on “and another one gone” plus the few times he hit the B4 on “standing on my own two feet”
Yes, he never went past a D5, but even the D5s weren’t actually a part of a melody. He usually “shouted” or randomly ad-libbed those notes, they weren’t actually a part of the studio version. His most powerful live D5 is probably the one at the end of Now I’m Here in Stockholm 1986 (“GIVE it to me now”).
Freddie never would sing live like this after 80 - 83 period again . ( except probably Live Aid 85 ) Does Someone know why he sang so high and powerful in this period of time ?
It was around the 80-83 period when he first started smoking, so the after effects really showed up in the later tours. He also had pretty bad vocal technique, which took its toll on his voice later on in his career.
@@johannesvaasalainen7075 English levels for you are very low. I never said he wasn't the greatest vocalist of all time. For me freddie is the Greatest singer period. However, his technique wasn't very safe, and damaged his vocal chords a lot.
Blame Fred for his habit lol,Beside age, Alcohol and smoke are really influence his Vocal.You Can see his voice got Darker from '82,and Fred voice got Darker and add a growl in 1986,because Cigar and Alcohol of course.His voice already affected by Aids also(cmiiw),and You Can see since 1987-88(Barcelona performance)are really good and clear.He Know he got Aids that year and start stop the habit.And Until Innuendo he still keeping that. Forgot to mention,In His live tour,he drink tons of Beer,it good for his Vocal since it lubricate his Vocal Cord but also damage it.
