Its when he sings really high with his voice. Like in Jimi Thing with the lyrics of "Lately I've been feeling low..."

He uses falsettos a lot in So Much to Say. John Mayer is another artist thats big into falsettos.

Listen to Radiohead and Muse for some hot falsetto action.

Listen to the outro on bartender at radio city. If that isn't falsetto, then I guess he's just singing "pretty high"...?

and that's from 2007, so I dunno... make your own call if he still can or not

But can he hit them consistently every night?

He knows he has to be spot on for the recorded shows that will go onto cd/dvd. But for the performances, its just another show and likely not as much pressure to hit the high notes.

Don't mind him.

P.S. there's plenty of things a studio producer can do for pitch-correction.

Yeah but they don't sound very good. Sure he hits them, but they sound muddy almost, like the track is clipping (which it may be seeing as its liv). But listen on Bartender at 7:18-7:20, and tell me if you don't think that sounds bad. Maybe he just had something caught in his throat though.

No, he saves his voice and using falsetto for when he records.

I guess it’s just a matter of opinion. I was real impressed with Radio City, particularly Dave’s voice. Any studio work is going to be more practiced and explored than a live take. Even when Dave doesn’t sing falsetto he is still singing in a real high range. This is true in any of his songs. People get all bent out of shape over crash when he screams ‘crash into me’ rather than hits falsetto. Try and sing the falsetto and then try and scream it the way he does. It’s a lot more difficult to pull off the scream.
