Actually yes I can... but I know my range, and I know my limitations... I don't push things vocally so to the extent that it's painful to even listen to. He is an amazing artist but this is obviously not his best work.
You do have me there. Sadly recordings can distort the quality when someone sings. Jimmy gnecco has great stage presence. But there are other recordings of him where he just wasn't up to par (or pitch, for that matter) with some of his other things. He just sounds so incredibly strained in this one. Oh well. Everyone's a critic, but no one has anythig to show for it. So I guess this is where I digress and just give the man the kudos he deserves. After all he IS Jimmy Gnecco. Not me.
He intentionally writes songs that are on the fringe of his ability to perform
And when it gets to the end of the night and this throat is raw sometimes he does not know whether he will be able to sing without his voice breaking but be does it anyway
He is like a daredevil who does doesn't know if he has enough ramp to clear the jump & just goes for it anyway
When I make live compilations for myself I always use the versions of the songs where his voice breaks.

Well, I think the fact that I don't have the best camera might have an effect on how it sounds. It sounded incredible in person.

its supposed to be like that. i heard a recording of some castrato guy singing it, that was probably even higher, but a lot creepier.
