Sounds more to me like C maj, but up a half step. So either everyone is on Eb instruments or tuned up a half step, or the pitch got bumped up a notch in the recording.
No, I think you'll find it's C sharp or D flat(more likely). Of course, there will be F sharp chords in the tune, if you're accompanying it.
I said "more likely" to be D flat because, although I know that C# and Db are the same key, they're likely to be playing in that by accident. The chances are that they are actually playing the tune in "D" which is quite a common key for it but either the instruments are flat or, quite possibly, the recording is too slow. This happened a lot with older recordings played back on different equipment.
Yes, C#, but not really. The band is either tuned a half step sharp or flat (or the recording has been altered and acheives the same effect), and so they're playing out of either C major position or D major, respectively.
Considering for the comments, using the free tool Audacity, I increased the speed by 3.5% and the pitch changed to D.
Thank you for the comments.
I've changed the speed by 3.5% of a couple of other tunes from the casette http://thesession.org/recordings/display.php/1808 and I got concert pitched tunes.
Thank you for your great ideas.

Re: Quiz: The key of this music
Might be playing in some sort of old pitch?
