E5?
They did a concert as a Pantera and played some of classics. Phil seems to be in a good shape.

[BAZanine]

I think the E5 listed in "Psycho Holiday" is actually an F5.

[Platypus]

The demo version is for sure closer to F5.

The demo version of that song also runs at a higher pitch than the studio generally, though I wonder if that is a tuning thing or a tapespeed thing. If the latter, then that B♭5 might be in trouble.

[MrToddington]

I'm pretty certain it's a tapespeed thing (tbh my suspicion is more that someone sped it up intentionally after realising the guitars were flat, but I digress).

Anselmo sounds noticeably lighter across the whole thing and they're playing exactly in tune instead of their usual flatness. Not to mention the tempo feels slightly quicker.

Slow it down in the range of about 25-50 cents (1.45-2.93%) to match the album versions and it all sounds correct. In order to be able to tell if it's no longer a B♭5 we'll need to decide exactly what the correct speed is, which is difficult (I'm somewhat doubtful the band was playing to a click, not to mention the tuning situation). My ears definitely hear it as closer to 50 cents than 25 though.

C♯5s

[queenfan11]

I still hear the "No Good (Attack the Radical)" notes mentioned on the first page as G#5s:


"for NO ONE"

[Platypus]

There's some G#5 overtones in there, but it's defenitely lower 5th octave.

[MrToddington]

Sounds like a G#5 in head voice to me. Sounds close to his Cowboys From Hell title track highs to me.

What about the slide up to F#5 at 0:58? That to me is what's convincing me it's more head voice, similar to this part in This Love: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG2arXJZnuU&t=5m2s

[Platypus]

yeah, you're right actually.

[shibito]

Is that F5 from 13 Steps to Nowhere the one on the second chorus? If it is then it's 100% Seth Putnam, not Phil

[Captain Planet]

I see there's been heavy debate previous on whether the Cemetery Gates scream was G#5 or A5. The demo version sounds a touch higher, solid A5?

[Rodney Blazershorts]

I'd say you're right about that!

[Platypus]

the demo version is also running a little fast, so I'm not sure if it fully makes it up there. I think it's still closer to G♯5 in reality

Some random guy uploaded a bunch of high quality footage of Pantera from late 1987. Some of the best/earliest footage of Phil and his high register is stronger here than it was anytime later. He's pretty much effortlessly in the F5-G5 range.

I haven't notewatched all of the clips, but he hits what sounds like a possibly-unintentional G#5 or flat A5 at 4:23 here:

I'm hearing a short G5 there
