Okay, it has been said that Freddie's highest recorded note was the Bb above the treble clef. Well, I was listening to "It's Late" and at 6:10 of the track, I hear a squeal which starts at that before-mentioned Bb and proceeds up to the F above that. It's insanely high, and I swear it doesn't sound like a guitar. I think it's Freddie... Is it the REAL highest note?

It is Brian`s guitar.
He`s doing some tapping stuff. He first picked the lower note with his pick and then with his index finger he tapped the top one and produced that kind of scream sound!! - I think there`s some kind of bending in there wich helps the efect.
Funny that one year later Eddie Van Halen would developed and bring this technique to the masses!!
If you play electric guitar it`s easy to understand.
Take care

it sounds in between a guitar and freddies voice, but more like a guitar
I think I know the bit you're on about Darling39, and it isn't Brian's guitar. It's Fred (seemingly accidentally) doing a crazy squeal, which then turns into a more orthodox yell.
I'll have to check it out when I get home and see what the notes are. If it indeed goes up to an F, it would beat Fred's highest known recorded note (actually a falsetto D above the Bb you mention), although you wouldn't really be able to count it alongside the D, as the F would be a voice-effect, and not actually pure singing.

Yeah, I have thought about this, too... It sounds and looks like it is playback also! It does not look like Freddie is actually singing it.
Yeah, I thought it might not be him singing because anyone could tell he was having problems with his voice...
I think Freddie touched the TOP in "DON'T TRY SO HARD", number 5 of INNUENDO! What do you think? :)
Yeah he got pretty high, and in Under Pressure too
In "Under pressure" he found help by computer that extended his CRIED! In every live he didn't anything similar!
Oh is that why he didn't sing it at wembley... the guitar did the why part where he's supposed to go really high... hm... he's still got an incredible range
Maybe one of the most high note he made live was SOMEBODY TO LOVE in Milton Keynes... :) I like that very much!
What did u say was the highest note he reached ?
F''' ? or what was it ??
