B♭4s and B4s in "Shadow of the Wind"
Again, B♭4s and B4s in "Ear in the Wall"
There's another song from the Dio Years compilation titled "The Devil Cried", but from what I can hear, there's nothing above G♯4 in that song...
And here's a live performance of "N.I.B." from 1980

I found this cool performance of Ronnie performing with Deep Purple and the London symphony orchestra: Other stuff that I found: -A cover of Ronnie performing Aerosmith's Dream On. B♭4 at 2:00 -Hear 'n Aid - Stars. C5 at 1:00 -Live version of War Pigs from the Live Evil album. E♭3s in the verses (Man, I wish he used his lower range more. It's incredibly underutilized, especially below D3). There's also some C♯5s throughout the performance too and B♭4s at 6:23 and at 7:00 -Another one from the Live Evil album: Children of the Grave. B4s in the verses and C♯5s (I think) at 1:28, 2:11, and at 3:53 {Spoiler}
Short overtoney B♭5 here.
This live version of "Gypsy" has a slide up to A5 for the opening scream. The G♯5 from the version linked above should also be added, along with those other two notes.
This version of "Wild One" gets up to A5 (sounds like A♯5 but apparently the tape speed is fast) on the regular "WIIIIILD WILD!" screams, then also climbs up to a considerably strong G♯5 at 3:42.
{Spoiler}
Slide down to a pretty weak low note in this version of "Iron Man" - was previously listed as A2 on TRP3, but I find myself going between A2 and G♯2 for it. Low note from live version of "Catch the Rainbow": {Spoiler}B♭4s and B4s in "Shadow of the Wind"
Again, B♭4s and B4s in "Ear in the Wall"

Just went through the this thread and compiled all the notes that have been linked that are still missing from the OP. Could these get reviewed and added soon please?
Also, here's the G♯5 from the Kavarna live version of "Gypsy" that tungsten mentioned on the first page; looks like that one never got properly linked:

I had been taking a semi-hiatus from notewatching the last few months. I had thought I had already added most of those notes.

The live versions of "War Pigs", "N.I.B.", and "Children of the Grave" that I linked were not added. And I thought some of the notes Henny reposted again were questionable anyways (The lows in "Iron Man", and those highs in "Die Young" and "Wild One"), unless they weren't added into the questionable notes section already.
Also, the high note in that live performance of "I" that someone linked in the comment section is a G♯5. Kinda interesting that he hit some of his highest notes towards the end of his life, given that he doesn't go much higher than D5/E5 most of the time.

I had been taking a semi-hiatus from notewatching the last few months. I had thought I had already added most of those notes. All the notes in the most recent block I quoted are ones that were still missing. Most of them have already been pitched too, so not much need for actual notewatching - they just need to be added to the OP. The live versions of "War Pigs", "N.I.B.", and "Children of the Grave" that I linked were not added. And I thought some of the notes Henny reposted again were questionable anyways (The lows in "Iron Man", and those highs in "Die Young" and "Wild One"), unless they weren't added into the questionable notes section already. They weren't, hence why I've continued to quote them as something that needs to be added one way or another. Though I can't imagine what could possibly be questionable about the "Wild One" notes; those ones are some of his strongest notes in that range. :scratch: |

Ok, I just listened to the "Wild One" notes now and they seemed fine to me. I was looking back at the previous comments and it seemed like the reason why it wasn't posted in there was either because OP didn't know if they were black or blue notes... or he may have just forgotten to include it. |

Can anyone help me find a live vocal improvisation Dio did - it was in a range video on youtube (so you may have seen it as some point) and all I remember is it had Dio going: I'm the MAN! I'm the MAAAAN! I'M THE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN (C5) |

Got a decent number of the notes added from that massive block of notes that were missing from the OP that I've been quoting forever. Most of the remaining ones are full songs, so queenfan11 I went ahead and did the pitching in those songs for you. All you have to do is verify the pitches mentioned at the timestamps given and add them, if that's not too much to ask. Also tungsten I'll check out that last batch of live notes that you posted after this; just wanna make sure that these ones get taken care of first. I found this cool performance of Ronnie performing with Deep Purple and the London symphony orchestra: Pretty restrained performance in "Sitting in a Dream", but really nice singing. Hits an A4 in the line at 3:11 but that's about it. "Love Is All" is full of A4s like at 4:20, and has a couple B4s like at 5:37.
Other stuff that I found: -Live version of War Pigs from the Live Evil album. E♭3s in the verses (Man, I wish he used his lower range more. It's incredibly underutilized, especially below D3). There's also some C♯5s throughout the performance too and B♭4s at 6:23 and at 7:00 -Another one from the Live Evil album: Children of the Grave. B4s in the verses and C♯5s (I think) at 1:28, 2:11, and at 3:53 All of this stuff was already pitched and timestamped, so should be pretty straightforward. And here's a live performance of "N.I.B." from 1980 B4 at 0:39, a bunch of B♭4s like at 4:07, and a couple D♭5s like at 5:26. If we get those taken care of, the bulk of that post that I've been quoting since last year will finally be added to the OP and I can stop complaining about that much.  |

Is that Dio?
What are these overtones?

Sounds like he gets up to some E♭5s, maybe a flat E5 at the end of "Why Are They Watching Me" here. queenfan11, mind if I go ahead and add this note to the OP? Wow that's weird. It sounds like his grit and phrasing, but the tone sounds lighter/higher than Dio's normally is. I was about to suspect that the tape speed was running fast on that recording, but it seems to go back to his regular voice very shortly after, so I have no idea. Aside from that, that particular vocal moment kinda seems random as fuck... The good news is that it only gets up to C5 though, so we can just forget about it and act like it never existed.  What are these overtones? F♯5 I'm pretty sure, from "Lock Up the Wolves". Not terribly significant, seeing how the studio version gets higher than that. If you're talking about the scream at the very beginning of the video, I'm pretty sure that's not Dio; I think that was just a sample from a horror movie or something that he had playing at the beginning of his shows on that tour. |

I've never heard anyone throw those kinds of notes into "Black Sabbath" before except for Ian Gillan.
