how about this note?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YtH2rjrfaI&t=166s

Sounds like an overtoney G#4

I think the C5's "Even In His Youth" and "Son Of A Gun" Live Seattle 1990 should be marked as bold.

C♯6 ("Spank Thru" Numerous Live Versions (1987-1989) & Sub-Pop 200 version)

I think these notes should be marked as blue. It is very clearly falsetto.

“Blue marks SOFT falsetto notes.” i.e. not gritty/distorted head voice screams. If anything, the note could be green, but as we all know Kurt’s one dying wish was to never have green notes so that will not happen.

I think Kurt's scream at 0:31 actually goes higher than C#6. D6 or Eb6 is what it seems to be.

Edit: Electric Miami is correct that the pitch is mostly a sharp C#6. If the note ever reaches D6 it's probably not countable, but you be the judge of that.

[Electric Mami]

I hear it really sharp of C♯6 then touching D6 by the end of the scream personally, could be counted as D6 indeed

[funnypun]

Speaking of weird high screams, here is another interesting one. It starts off too distorted for me to discern a pitch but breaks into somewhere around a C#6. Just before the break I think I hear a D6 under the distortion, but I’m not sure.

I guess I’ll also use this as an excuse to show some other interesting stuff not on the thread.

I don’t think the first one is him but the ones after that seem to be.
