I suspect that much of the SYW setlist was played a half-step lower. "The Chain" tuning is E-flat (instead of E), so I would imagine that much of the rest of the set was lowered accordingly. However, oddly enough, on the last leg of the tour "Say You Will" was bumped up by at least a whole step, as was "Destiny Rules" on the first leg. Surprisingly, one of the hardest songs to sing, "Don't Stop," was not lowered in key; however, Stevie does take the lower harmony on the "yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone" part of the chorus.
Anyway, after looking at the tour dates, 19 shows in 31 days, I would say this is the most hectic solo touring schedule that Mama has ever been on. And there is that three-nights-in-a-row stretch toward the end.
This leads me to believe that Mama will be holding back a lot more than usual just so that she will have a voice for the next night and the night after that, etc.
