How many octaves? Could the more musically-minded please comment on this. I'm wondering firstly, what you think his range is (from what note, to what note). And what songs he has sang that demonstrate the lowest notes he has hit, the highest ones, and the song with the gretest range covered. Also, how does his range compare with other vocalists like Bowie, Stewart, Gabriel, McCartney etc.? And finally, how does he compare against multi-octave talents like Captain Beefheart, Frankie Valli, Rob Halford. (Also, going slightly OT, which artists do you know (male or female) with the most impressive octave range? Kate Bush, Minnie Riperton, Prince, and Mariah Carey spring to mind. What's the range?) . __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

the magnificence of chris spedding and the great paul thompson (actually the general level of musicianship on that stage was impessive) bryan's 'utter dork' impersonation when dancing three stylish outfits plenty of room to dance some 'very happy bryan' grins towards the end of the concert i had a chat with one of the crew who said the melbourne audience (the day before) were much younger and not so into the quieter moments of the concert so they were feeling pleased with the newcastle response and from the melbourne setlist he gave me i could see that melbourne's was a much shorter set of 13 songs and 3 encores (bummer scotty!) the newcastle concert covered 19 songs (that's counting the harp intro) and 3 encores i managed to score a setlist from the stage (after furiously scribbling in the dark on the back of supermarket dockets from my friend's wallet) if anyone is interested in more detail one major disappointment the setlist showed a fourth encore possibility which didn't eventuate it read 'shame, shame, shame????' which really was a shame!
