Jon Anderson's Vocal Range!

[kirk]

yesspaz- i'm not quite ready to deify jon, but he's made a
rather substantial mark on my time on earth.
i believe that he'll be remembered beyond rock music
as a spiritual visionary.

however.... from a production side, it's almost impossible
to tell if a voice is enhanced, even in concert.
any number of programs and devices are capable
of doing the job, as well as creating tuned harmonies, ect.
the industry standard "auto-tune", available either as a standalone unit
or as software(which i own) can invisibly sweeten a note to perfect pitch,
change the octave, root note.
my home studio rig can generate 5 harmony lines,
all in perfect pitch, and can morph M to F or vice versa.
auto-tune can even follow midi from a keyboard, so that no matter
what note's being sung, it records the voice in the
note played.
imagine if money were no object.

i'm not accusing anyone, but the bottom line- even IF jon couldn't hit the old notes,
he could continue w/o it being noticable to the listener.
