On this most recent listening I wondered that too. I never thought
that before and I had listened to this boot quite a bit :). Of course
on a turntable you can adjust the speed down to compensate and there
are CD players that can do this as well -- mine does. The boot I have
of the Woodstock show is 7% too fast. (I determined by comparing the
version of Sparks on the boot to the one on the TKAA soundtrack.)
I'm not a musician so I wouldn't know how to determine how much the
MSG boot should be slowed down to make it more accurate. How does
anyone else figure that stuff out without a trusted reference like
what I did for woodstock? It seems having boots recorded at weird
speeds relative to "real time" is commonplace.

I like the idea of working out some sort of trade. If we trade as MP3
files, then there would be less generational loss, don't you think? I
don't know how practical it is yet though. I don't have any mp3
authoring tools.
