Neumann U47 that was used by Kurt Cobain for the last studio session of Nirvana on January 28-30 1994 at Robert Lang Studios. Used for the vocal track of "You Know You're Right". Timestamp at 0:48

Used for vocals on The Colour and the Shape, as stated in this article posted to the fansite Foo Fighters Live.

In terms of outboard gear, UREI 1175LN Peak Limiter compressors were installed, along with a mixture of Manley and LA Audio tube amplifiers. A range of microphones were set up including Shure SM57s on the Amplifiers and Neumann u47 and u67 mics for vocals.

Used for vocals and as an ambient mic for the electric guitar on Continuum, as stated by recording engineer Chad Franscoviak in this October 1, 2006 Mix Online interview.

For Mayer's vocal chain, Franscoviak says that most of the songs were recorded with a Neumann U47. For a couple of songs, he sang into a Neumann M269c, and on “I'm Gonna Find Another You,” which was recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, he sang into Al Green's RCA 77 ribbon mic. From there, the chain included a Neve sidecar stocked with 1073 mic pre's and then a UREI silver-face 1176. “On a couple of songs, we did experiment with splitting his vocals into two channels — one of them would be kind of a clean and one of them would be kind of a gritty — and we would take the second channel and put it through a Fairchild 670 and really crush it,” Franscoviak explains. “Then we would either blend it together or choose one or the other for the mix."

(...) Miking Mayer's guitar rig depended on the song's mood. On “The Heart of Life,” Franscoviak threw a ribbon mic in the middle of the main room as a pair of amplifiers boosted Mayer's tracks. On the majority of the tracks, though, Franscoviak would put a Shure SM57 and a Beyerdynamic M88 right next to each other, about two fingers' width from the guitar cabinet's grille. He would take that track, blend it and send it to one channel. In addition, Mayer likes to hear room ambience on his guitar tracks. To accomplish that, Franscoviak would point either a pair of U67s or U87s about three feet from the edge of the semi-circle of amps, and then either a U47 or a Telefunken 251 in front of them all.

Used for the Hammond B3 on "I'm Slowly Turning Into You" and "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)", as stated by recording and mixing engineer Joe Chiccarelli in this October 1, 2007 Mix Online interview.

A pair of songs — “I'm Slowly Turning Into You” and “You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)” — show off Jack White's B3 talents. Chiccarelli miked the B3's Leslie with a tube U47 on the bottom and a pair of KM84s on top. He also had a U67 in the room to capture some of the organ's ambience. “Sometimes we took a direct out of the organ and sent that through a guitar amp to get a little more edge and bite,” he adds.

Used for vocal overdubs on Dark Side of the Moon, as mentioned by recording engineer Alan Parsons in this March 9, 2012 Premier Guitar interview by Mitch Gallagher.

By the time we got around to overdubs, probably the only mic I actually had set up would be a [Neumann] U 47 so that we could do vocals. I might have stuck that on it, on occasion.

In a twitter Q&A someone asked him what his favorite mic to record vocals is. His answer was the Neumann U47. Calvin is a Neumann collector of sorts, he has about 2 of every Neumann microphone, in some cases, he has had 3 or 4 of the same microphone. The Neumann U87/U87AI in this case.

Mentioned by producer Al Schmitt in this June 5, 2015 VoiceCouncil Magazine interview.

"The U47 – that’s the one I used on Bublé, Paul McCartney and so many others. (...) For Diana Krall and Paul McCartney (and others) I used a Neumann Tube U47 into Neve Preamp and then into a Fairchild compressor. That, to me, is the ultimate."

The U47 was also used for the group vocals on The Beatles, as is visible in this photo from this June 2012 Sound on Sound article.

At 9:35 in the video interview, Mac explains that he recently purchased a few expensive microphones, including a "tube U47".

In this article, Huw Price, a recording engineer at The Garden studios during My Bloody Valentines recording of the Glider EP and some of the album Loveless in 1990, recalls Kevin using a Neumann U47 to record bass in the studio.

They arrived at The Garden Studio, in a pre-gentrified Shoreditch, in early January 1990. Drums had already been recorded, so I aligned the studio’s Otari MTR90 MkII 24-track tape machine with the band’s two-inch test tones and grabbed a Neumann U47 microphone to begin recording bass.
