Tunings for songs live

[OffAxis]

This got stuck over in General Tour discussions, but I thought it belonged here. At least a copy of it for reference.

I'm actually a bit surprised by the tunings. Pride is played at concert pitch??!!! I thought they were tuning this down a full step usually. Maybe I'm just reading the thing wrong.

Anyways, thoughts?

it's interesting, however I think Pride is a whole step down. I would imagine that if they were going to perform Wild Horses it would be done at least half a step down because it has some high parts in it. Isn't Love and Peace in open D? Where was this photo taken from?

Yeah, Pride is a full step down, as is Sunday Bloody Sunday on this tour, which is actually higher than it was on the Elevation Tour.

i think it changes according to bono's voice, or perhaps if they are playing things like piano they'd need standard tuning

Upon listening to a few bootlegs, they are actually playing Streets in standard tuning, not a half step down. The last time they played Streets this high live was, um, never.
