All right, so I've taken it upon myself to add some of the notes mentioned in this thread. I have also notewatched McCartney III while I was at it. I want to open a dialog about the "Cut Me Some Slack" falsettos.

The timestamps at which the supposed C6s come up are 1:17, 1:57, and 4:23. Now, the first two of these are pretty unequivocally B5s in my opinion. He's trying to get a C6 or something, but it's flat. The third one, however, is a C♯6 to my ear. Maybe he was aiming for a C6, maybe he was aiming for a D6, maybe he wasn't aiming for anything, I don't know. As it stands, I could really go either way on its countability. I mean, I'd probably count it if it was my thread, but I figured I'd ask here instead.

There's also this C6 I found a while back, which Holsety was not especially fond about counting. I think it's fine. Just thought I'd mention it.

I think he was aiming for something in the C#6, doesn't sound like a note that should get auto-dismissed for being nonmusical, and see no other reason to not count it.
The C6 is a strange disconnect from the rest of the scream, but besides that it doesn't sound that bad to me, I think that should be counted too.

I agree! 1:17 - B5, 1:57 - B5, and 4:23 - C♯6 in my opinion. The C♯6 is flat but I do think it's closer to that than to C6. I also think the live C6 is fine, it's very similar to the other falsettos.

[Osmosis]

I'll add my agreement to the list. C#6 & C6. Countable.

Edit: and nice one updating the thread Baz. Feels good.

[Macca]

Now the C#6 is countable, but it's not musical. So, it should be marked as italics.
C6 doesn't sound very countable to me. It's very brief.

I do hear that brief instances where looks he goes up to C♯, but listening three times I'm still thinking it sounds very more like C6. I'd say the instances where he could hit C♯ are VERY insignificant to count it as C♯6 honestly.
IMO he's still condemned to have same range though ):

EDIT: That's probably reason why Hols just marked it as "C6"; since adding B5s as well could be overinclusion and  apparently he did not hear a C♯6 tone...

[BAZanine]

I mean, the note is brief enough that if I'm counting anything from it it'll probably be C♯. It's not like the C in that is exceptionally sustained either. That said I'd also be fine just spoilering the C♯ and moving the counted note down to B. Most people seem to be on board with counting it, though; I'll give it a little bit longer.

[rob]

I feel like the B5's are quite solid. The C#6 I'm kinda mixed on, I think it definitely is weaker, but probably still countable. The live C6 I'm not very fond of, but it's probably countable enough, just not a very strong showing compared to Paul's other quite impressive C6's

A2 A4 B4 C5 C#5

G4 at 3:31

B4 F5 at 1:48

Run from 2:01-2:03 briefly touches a D3

[Bink]

It's over folks, Lennon and Macca no longer have the same range.

I’m hearing B5 for the first one, a somewhat flat C6 for the second one, and Db6 for the third one. I think they’re all countable though.

Not if @ianvector has anything to say about it

[Macca]

Am i crazy or am i hearing a G5 in Carry That Weight and All Together Now that both sound like Paul?

[Goober]

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink?

[Macca]

Here it's on the word carry

And here it's on the word now

[Osmosis]

Definitely hear it in the second clip from 2:02 onwards. The first clip I actually think it is most audible on the last 'weight' before the song transitions to "The End".

[NJ]

Another C6 to add (Hyde Park 2012).

[Homelander]

Great find, though that sounds like a B5 to me.

[Osmosis]

Yeah B5. Great note

[Macca]

Here's the thread pic because it appears to be dead

[EddieCheivz]

I think this B♭2 from "Kreen-Akrore" should be bolded :D

I mean the notes pretty good, but i don't think it's good enough to be bold worthy.

[EddieCheivz]

I do think that first sustained note is very very good actually, it sounds with a very well projected tone.

P.S. I just saw the note in question has been already bolded anyway lmao

[Macca]

The Oobu Joobu C2 clip gets down to G1 then briefly gets down to F♯1.

[Macca]

The A5 in Hey Bulldog would make the yellow submarine album range G3-B4-G5-A5
