I don't know about this particular one, but if I suspect a show is off 
pitch, I just play along on my guitar to see how far off it is!

A good example is the reasonably common bootleg "Know Your Power" - that 
one was so fast it was a full tone high!  (that's the equivalent of two 
frets on a guitar)
