Dude, good job, thanks for the list. I just had a quick glance and I agree with most of this. Are you sure about the step down tuning you've got for EOTW, Beautiful Child (I'm certain this is in standard tuning, but I could be wrong) and Red Rover? Also have you tried playing Say Goodbye in that tuning you've written? (I play it in a completely different tuning, which I arrived at after reading an interview with LB about the tuning for the song - I'd be interested to see a tab of the first few bars using your tuning if you get the time).
I can't remember footage of Peacekeeper from Live in Boston, but from the 6 or 7 times I stood in front of LB at the gigs, (and incidentally from the footage of FM on Letterman I watched recently), I saw the capo on the 3rd fret and the guitar was in standard tuning. Also in the same interview (can't remember which guitar magazine it was), they had the official tabs for Peacekeeper which showed standard tuning with capo on the 3rd.
I don't know if this is relevant at all, but Lindsey has a very strange way of holding chords, in the sense that when you watch him it looks like he's always a step further up than you think. E.g. If you look at I'm So Afraid on the Dance, it looks like he's holding down F# and C# chords during the verses, but obviously they're just F and C. On many occasions I thought he had his guitar in a flat or sharp tuning, but it turned to be just the angles and the way he was holding the chords.
Oh just noticed one other little thing - he used the white Strat on Tusk from November 30th 2003 at Earls Court, not Go Your Own Way.
That's some wild tuning for World Turning!! I've never payed attention to his guitar tuning during that song, I enjoy it too much! I play it in simple Drop D, works fine for me, but never tried playing it along to the 2003/4 versions so I have no idea whether that tuning you've got there is right.
