Eddie Vedder's Vocal Range

[Darin Read]

Can any of you Pearl Jam experts out there tell me on what song(s) Eddie
Vedder hits the highest note in his vocal range? Or, his deepest low note?

Thanks in advance!

good baritone song: nothing as it seems
good alto song: the hee hee's at the end of jeremy

hes been adding a little extra to BLACK on tour lately.

[Holden Caulfield]

don't knowe whether this are the ultimate notes, but they sure come close:

with his regular voice: the high 'a' in "In *Hi*ding" (I don't recall any
Bb's or higher, but not sure). this is also the Jeremy "ooh"'s (but I guess
that's falsetto)
falsetto: "what's got this whole world *fa*kin'" in "Mankind" backing vocals
(Stone is lead vocalist). that's a high 'd'. (there is a high 'e' in the
backing vocals of "Black", but those are done by Stone and Jeff)
lowest note: a lot of low ones in "Push Me, Pull Me" (maybe that's why they
put it next to IH on the album....)
but the lowest I can think of is "lucky stars *in* your eyes" from "Walking
the Cow". that's a low 'g'.

so in all has got at least more than 2 octaves in his vocal range...that's
not bad, but more important is that Ed can produce a wide range of vocal
'timbres' for all pitches: he can make a high note sound sweet and clean,
but also loud and distorted. the same goes for the low ones and everything
in between...that's really hard (Bono knows how to do that, Cornell does
too...)

I think I'm gonna search the PJ repertoire for these low and high notes...If
I can come up with better ones than those mentioned above, I'll let you
know...

You're absolutely right: All or None goes down to low 'f#' (you can hear him
losing power and definition on these very low tones...so that's probably
somewhere near the bottom :-) ) and up to high 'b' in falsetto ("hi-i-i"
part at 3:23)

found some others too (on Binaural):
- high 'b's in "Evacuation" ('make o*mi*sions' for instance)
- low 'e' in the backing vocals (lead double lower octave) of "Breakerfall"
(could be pitch
shifter....)

do you have perfect pitch? how can you identify notes like that? or do you
find them on an instrument?

i'm impressed.

The low has got to be All or None... then there's that high note in In
Hiding.

I try to sing and play PJ-songs myself...the playing is not much of a
ploblem most of the time, but let's just say (and this is something of an
understatement) that MY vocal range does not get up/down as high/low as
Eddie's...so I know most of the tricky notes that can be found in these PJ
songs, cause there my voice will break down...

no perfect pitch btw :-(
but my guitar does...

I think he gets pretty low in Release on Ten, but I might just be
confused by the timbre he is using. I've got terrible pitch without a
guitar in front of me to play with.

listen to the very end of the vocals on Release...the Oooo's the last
one he switches up on it and gets pretty high...he gets pretty low on
Driftin also...and strangest tribe...

check out the low note on the studio version of "dead man" form the dead man
walking soundtrack. listen to when he says "the hammer that I once dropped
down now hovers over me." great sound.

That would be from the Off He Goes single because Bruce had seniority.
