I'm listening to several shows uploaded by Greg... it's a shame we dont have more soundboard (or A audience recordings) recordings :([/QUOTE]

His high register was still awesome by the Magic Tour, even the latter half of it.

But he wouldn't even try the high notes in Who Wants To Live Forever and I think he would nail those by the early 80's, for instance. Under Pressure - he would go higher on those screams in 81 or 82.

He does try, but they're not exactly amazing :P

I think this sums up the point better, though Roger definitely had far more control in the earlier days, a couple of very impressive A5s. :)

Two things:

1. The song is lowered a full step, so it's a C5.

2. It's an overdub. :)

So yeah, the higher part of his full voice range wasn't exactly the best. :(
