Title: strange voice on the Bug Copenhagen 96
Post by: JF on May 17, 2013, 03:06:16 PM

Ok I know it's Privateering tour now, but I was listening Copenhagen 96 this morning, and I was surprised when I heard this strange voice singing "oh yeah" at 4:16 and 4:35 on The bug :

I thought the first one could have been Mark, but the 2nd. one isn't. :think

Here on 3:23 Mark signs "Oh yeah" in the close-to-Copenhagen-96 manner:

By the way, here is the great video about vocal range of Paul McCartney:

Up to C5  :o and down to A1 :o

But almost all Beatles' songs are so high to sing, so I don't know...

The Ragpicker's Dream is pretty low and in other hand, early DS and songs like "Our Shangri-La" is pretty high.

Both sound like Mark to me. He goes down with his voice like that at times  :)

yes I agree it could be Mark in term of range, but the 2nd one is clearly another voice, he can't sing both at the same time :hmm

What I think he does is that he gets very close to the microphone and uses his very low voice, then pulls back from mic right after and continues.

According to Guy, the low voice on the Early Bird chorus is also MK.
