G5

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

G5s there

This also brought to my attention that the F♯5 from the studio version (on "making vows that JUST can't work right") is missing from the OP.

He also gets a Bb5 in the Paris 1973 performance of SIBLY:

Nice catch actually. It sounds like a note he would do effortlessly in 1970/71. Another good example that Plant was still able to pull it off in a good night.

Is there any chance of the vocal description being edited to reflect Plant's vocal comeback in the mid 90s? In this performance of Black Dog, he attempts the studio phrasing at 1:40:36 and goes (admittedly flat) for an A5 at 1:41:06. Maybe one of his best post-'73 performances of it.

His ease with negotiating the lower octave 5, or lack thereof, seems more interesting than his ability to hit an A5. In his prime he was characterized as "seemingly boundless", which relates the quality many female singers have, that they are able to sing seamlessly throughout the octave.
