This one I'll have to check out eventually because i always felt this was one (of the few?) of Dan's great recording jobs that didn't need any pitch adjustment. (i hope this remaster has very minimal [and correct!] speed correction or else Geddy will really sound [even more so!] like one of The Chipmunks!)

...or the ferret had particularly sharp claws/teeth the day.

Thanks for the shows!

now that i think about it, speed correction on this one, if needed, should slow Geddy's voice down a bit--not the other way around--since some of Dan's original tapes run fast (as the batteries in his deck slowly died) after the straight tape-to-digital transfer, so the first non-speed adjusted version (which sounds fine to me, btw) will have the (increased) full-on "banshee wailing" vocals!!

Either way, i always felt this was one of Dan's best taping jobs, and i thank Dave for providing it here for those that don't have Dime accounts!
