Notes:
Speed corrected using Cool Edit Pro: 
- joined wavs using 'Open Append'
- speed/pitch adjusted using 'Pitch Bender'
- re-tracked

The proper pitch was determined by comparing to a guitar tuned to A=440.

d1 through d3t04 adjusted -23 cents
encore d3t05 adjusted +67 cents

The whole show needed the same adjustment, *except for the encore*.  The encore looks like the same source as the rest, but the pitch is clearly different.  The -23 cents correction doesn't bring it in tune like the rest of the show.  A -33 cents correction does bring it into tune, but then Dark Star is in the key of Ab, while it's always played in A.  I highly doubt they actually played it in Ab, and Jerry sounds awfully sluggish.  With this in mind, I found that raising the pitch +67 cents brought it into A, and Jerry sounds normal again.

My guess (just a guess), is that the encore was transferred from a DAT at a different time than the rest of the show, or using different equipment or settings, and a 48khz > 44.1khz conversion was not done properly, introducing the new pitch problem for the encore.  I'm fairly certain that it is correct now though.
