His voice from late 1979-mid 1982 was the best: Before that, he lacked power and didn't sing too many high notes live overall. After the european leg of the Hot Space tour, he damaged his voice from partying, and the constant "going-all-out" on notes. Then by the Works Tour, his voice was extremely powerful, but harsh and his range was messed up for a good 2/3rd's of the tour. He was better on the Magic Tour (especially the first few concerts), but oversang ALOT.

You're a well documented knob-end; if you want to take potshots at people for being more articulate or having broader tastes than you, then at least sneak something insightful in while you're at it.
PS. Even a clown has a purpose!

That site's been gone for awhile. I haven't found anything yet.
Freddie's complete vocal range is this:
(-A0) C2-F5 (F6)
His full voice range is C2-F5, he's gone down to A0 in fry, and got to an F6 in falsetto!
(-A0) C2-F5 (F6)

Freddie Mercury had a 17 octave range and could sing notes that made the sun bleed. FACT.
According to one site, he has 32 octaves!
Freddie's complete HITHERTO DOCUMENTED range is as you wrote it. But, we don't know if he could sing higher or lower than that, or if he did on some obscure unreleased recording or concert we haven't heard yet.
BTW, Greg, since you certainly know your stuff here, could you please check/correct this list?
These are, AFAIK, Fred's highest and lowest notes per year (recordings only):
1971 - ???
1972 - e (Great King Rat) to a" (Great King Rat) - 2 Octaves + Perfect 4th
1973 - A (Black Queen) to b" (Ogre Battle - the screaming bit) - 3 Octaves + Major 2nd
1974 - C (Leroy Brown) to bb" (See What a Fool I've Been) - 3 Octaves + Minor 7th
1975 - G (Bo Rhap) to a" (Bo Rhap - outtakes) - Three Octaves + Major 2nd
1976 - F (Somebody to Love) to a" (You Take My Breat Away, or was it ab"?) - 3 Octaves + Major 3rd
1977 - F (All Dead) to e"' (It's Late) - 3 Octaves + Major 7th
That's all I've got so far.
As for Roger:
1971 - ??
1972 - e (Keep Yourself Alive - 'day') to a" (My Fairy King) - 2 Octaves + Perfect 4th
1973 - e (Loser in the End) to bb" (Son & Daughter at the Beeb) - 2 Octaves + Tritone
1974 - e (Tenement Funster) to a" (Lap of the Gods) - 2 Octaves + Perfect 4th
1975 - G (Rendezvous - tuba) to e"' (Survival) - 3 Octaves + Major 6th
So far I'm there...
And last but not least, Dr May:
1971 - ???
1972 - a (Liar) to c" (Great King Rat) - 1 Octave + Minor 3rd
1973 - d (Some Day One Day) to c" (Father to Son) - 1 Octave + Minor 7th
1974 - d (Dear Friends) to d" (She Makes Me) - 2 Octaves
1975 - c (Good Company) to c#" ('39) - 2 Octaves + Minor 2nd
Again, I'm there so far.

That site's gotta get either updated/fixed, etc. It misses Freddie's highest falsetto notes (E6 and F6), flip-flops between baritone and tenor (his official vocal type is a low tenor), misses his vocal fry, and lowest full voice note (C2).

Most websites from early 2000's (mine included) need A LOT of copy-editing and verifying, in the light of a lot new info that's become available, especially on-line.
