I don't hear the difference -- maybe your ear is sharper than mine?
Some studio songs are recorded out of key. Some Stones songs are like
that -- I don't know why.
I just noticed this recently on "Land Down Under", the Men At Work song.
Seems like it's in G (or should work with a G harp), but the harp sounds
slightly out of tune when playing along.

I haven't tried playing Miss You with a D harp -- I don't keep one within
reach. Probably easier to get that tone with the higher-pitched harp.

Thanks for the video link -- great version, great stage act, great song.
