I just remembered that we seemed to face a good deal of disagreement over this note in the Ronnie James Dio thread when I first brought it up. Personally I'm quite certain that Dio is hitting an overtoney B♭5 and Tony Iommi is playing a D5 on guitar at the same time. However, as I recall some people were hearing it as the opposite (that Iommi was playing a B♭5 while Dio sang a D5), and then some people were somehow hearing E♭5s from both of them or something.

Anyway, I figure it's about time to reopen that debate, because I think the note never got added to Dio's thread due to the disagreement over it.

Guitar is in D standard, due to how their fingers are positioned as seen on the clip, and due to the second string ringing open on A right before that double stop on fret 12, string 1 and fret 15, string 2 that we see on the screen as Dio does his scream. The guitarist bends the second string and does a vibrato to reach the same note and octave as on the first string, which gives this oscillating pitch around D. Dio is the one doing the B♭6 overtone (yes 6, we just said 5 because we're used to calling fundamentals an octave lower). The fundamental of the scream is a sharp F5

I think the note at 0:58 is a C#6 from Sean Kinney, but I want to get other opinions before I do anything with it
