It's tuned down a whole step right? I was playing along to that version today and it sounded like something was wrong.

Thanks in advance for replys.

They tune it down a whole step live to aid Geddys vocals.

I like it tuned down. Sounds heavier and even more monstrous.

Yes. Whole step. In order to help Geddy's vocals. Fantastic live version. Much better than All the World's a Stage, because they actually do the whole thing. I love the bass fills Geddy throws in. However, I still like the original more, just because it is such a classic record, and I like to hear Geddy's high wail that he really just isn't able to pull off anymore at times.
