What makes this one of my all-time favorite performances of WWTLF? And a demonstration of strength and control?
*He starts out using his light, pure natural voice lightly to just float the first verse. It's like an intimate whisper, and my favorite sound.
*At 1:24 you don't see him take a monster breath (actually, I never see him do that) but he sings "forever. Ooooooo, yeah!" all in a sustained breath while increasing the volume and intensity. Demonstrates great breath support and control.
*Again at 1:40 he extends the melodic line "forever. Ahhhhhhhhh" climbing up the scale to a powerful , crystaline D5 and E5. Those notes are spot on, pitch wise. I can sometimes speculate on how strong he is feeling that night by whether he takes a breath after "forever," and whether he peaks the phrase at a C5, a D5 or, occasionally like this performance, an E5.
*At 2:40, he hits a beautiful D5 and sustains it on the word "love." This is a note he usually does, but sometimes he cuts it off a bit shorter, or hits it the slightest bit flat, and sometimes he eliminates it completely. Not this time. It has that wonderful pure ring to it, and spot on. It is an indication of how strong he is feeling at the time, vocally and physically.
It is little things like this that I listen for and love.
