According to Logic, this chord I'm looking at now has 187,230 notes, and it is an E7/maj7/b9/9/#9/11/b13. Name that tune!!
That’s some cluster. But it doesn’t even tell you if ifs a major or minor third. I’ll concede it is augmented.
Perhaps you're referring to
A Day in the Life?
There's quite a lot of debate what's in that final chord, after all...
.. or the opening chord for Hard Days Night
they did that more than once
A Day In The Life had orchestra though so that added a lot of harmonics and resonance

Yes that is the mother of all clusters
But being a smart guitarist I would play an E chord and let the rest of the band/orchestra fight over the rest of the notes
yeah, that's pretty much a cluster *
7th and maj 7th, b9,9,#9 .. plus 11 and b13 .. I'm running out of fingers trying to voice that <grin>
I have Steely Dan charts easier than that
How ironic is it that an illogical chord like that came from Logic...
Wait a moment. This isn’t a joke, it’s an actual chord in some song?

No. What happened was I just selected every note in every region of a multi track piece with a LOT of notes. Seems kind of silly for Logic to be offering that chordal insight for the whole piece, but I guess it's a question of where you draw the line.
