Here´s the man who started it all. His voice started to decline (rangewise) after a few years already but when one listens to these clips it´s not so hard to understand, robert used a lot of chest tone on these very high notes, that is taxing for the vocal chords, but impressive for the ear!

He also hit a short F#2/G2 on a elvis cover (love me) from a 73 soundcheck and there is a rumour of a C6(!) in a how many more times live 1969 version.

1. a solid A2 from "going to california", this is not his bottom.
2. An emotional D5 from "since i´ve been loving you".
3. A E5 from "rock´n´roll".
4. A F5 from "communication breakdown".
5. A F#5 from "babe, i´m gonna leave you".
6. A F#5 from "how many more times" live 1968-12-30.
7. A powerful G5 from "operator".
8. A classic G5 from "since i´ve been loving you", lots of chest tone here.
9. A G5 from "how many more times" live 1968-12-30.
10. and another one.
11. A strong G#5 from "i can´t quit you".
12. a G#5 from "how many more times" live 1968-12-30.
13. a primal scream G#5 from 1979 song "i´m gonna crawl".
14. the famous A5 from "black dog", a bit thin though.
15. a short A5 from "since i´ve been loving you" live 1972 madison square garden.
16. a powerful A5 (almost a Bb5) from "how many more times" live 1968-12-30.
17. a squeaky falsetto C#6 from "you shook me" 1969-01-10.
18. and lastly the famous "duet" with jimmy pgae off "you shook me" with a G#5 in the beginning followed by many G5:s.

Enjoy!

    thanks to 710917 I now have a C6 by Plant from You shook me (live 1969-08-18), that clip and some other great ones will be featured in a video response to this video. BUT if someone has a really low note (lower than F#2) send it to me so we can certify robert as a 4 octave wonder!!

    thats because he just bought a vocal amplifier for live shows ... It was giving him so much feedback(hearing wise) that he hit those notes with so much freedom that it just sounded priceless ... then he pushed it more and more until his chords couldnt handle it

    The last part in the studio version of No Quarter has a similar tone to Black Dogs A5.

  • Check out 31/1-1969 ...

    Check out 31/1-1969 Fillmore West.
    There is a powerful scream A5/B5 in Auckland 25/2-1972 after the solo. 21/8-1971 LA in Rock And Roll Plant push his voice in the final time. 25/4-1969 the voice/guitar duell in You shook me. Some tips for you but then again they may all be high G5.

    Copenhagen was a great show, the note in SIBLY at 2:53 is a G, but Misty Mountain has some cool stuff at the end, and 4 sticks is great too (only live performance)!!

  • Check out " ...

    Check out "Blueberry Hill" for some really low notes 4/9-1970. Rock and roll has some very high notes in the last vers. I just listen to the live show from Copenhagen 1971 in "Since i've been loving you" there is an amazing high and powerful note. Sounds at least like an A5 to me? Also check out Boston shows from 26/1-1969 and 9/9-1970. San Fransisco shows from 24,25 and 26/4-1969.
    There is alot of shows from 70,71 and 72 where he hits very high notes. Best high notes era juni-september 1970
