Xanadu

[Rocinante_x1]

I dont know why, but Xanadu, by Rush, is in a different tuning?.....
I play it all the time, but i have to re-tune my bass... all strings but the E, up some.

Does anyone else notice that ever?

Yes, I have no idea why that is. It's slightly sharp for some reason.

On Exit... Stage Left (live album) it's normal, so that's what I play along to.

The A Farewell to Kings recording is out of tune. Play along with the Exit...Stage Left recording. It's better anyway

Well yeah. I know that the '' A Farewell to Kings'' Recording is out of tune.. Somehow, I think they did that on purpose. I mean.. The guitar AND bass out of tune, yet in sync with eachother? PLUS the Moog being in tune with everything else? I doubt it was accidental. I prefer playing along with studio pieces VS. Live pieces... i dunno why. i just do..... hm.
