The pitch is at 449 Hz; with a tempo of exactly 101.95 bpm this suggests a recording at 100 bpm and the song being slightly sped up for release.
Leland Sklar recorded the bass part with an octaver. On the tour accompanying the album he also played it this way, but ditched the octaver on later tours and played an octave lower instead.
