Back to English... I just saw Endless Sacrifice from Verona, and HOLY ****! That note in the chorus is the highest I've ever heard James. Really good to know that he's back, and can't wait to hear how he improves during the tour!
It is not, it's just a high F (which is very high but not his highest ever), half a tone below the classic Learning To Live note. But it is quite understandable, the way it was sung really made it sound higher than it actually was.
Just for information, I am quite sure that James has (can?) reached in the past the A# (Cementary Gates or Number Of The Beast, I can't remember now). In the old days (92/93) he used to effortlessy hit the high G (Pull Me Under, The Killing Hand, Oh Holy Night), now I don't think he can afford to go much higher than the F# without sounding like a chicken being strangled (Lines In The Sand @CiM).
I'm working on a DVD of this show. Video quality is not really top notch, but the audio is really enjoyable! Stay tuned!
Really?? I can't wait for this release, how do you plan to release? Torrent, emule or something like Rapidhsare??
I will upload the dvd as a torrent on dimeadozen first (need to build some ratio for the incoming tour). Then, I will probably split the files and upload them on Megaupload and open a thread here where direct links will be provided!
