The only track where it is obvious that I've noticed is the beginning of 
track 5.  The beginning of Batman has always perplexed me because it might 
be him using the delay to do that pitch shifting, unless he was using a 
whammy bar back then?

I think the Buster Keaton cd Lou mentioned could be a good choice.  It is 
generally considered one of his best cd's.  I wish I had all my Frisell 
cd's with me so I could give them a listen.  Right now I don't have 
anything from before the late 90's.  Anybody more familar with his 
discography know when he started using the delay?  Was he already using it 
on his first album on ECM?
