What's your basis for this? I think it's open D, but happy to change my opinion if you can show me some evidence. I don't mean to doubt your knowledge, but given that COTM pre-dated Ry Cooder and is in the key of D, I also assumed it was in open D.

On the hampton dvd it always sounded to me like Mick says "Give us an E Keith.." just before Neighbors. Is this in E? If not what the Heck is he saying?

... just for the record, for any non-guitar-oriented archeologists who might unearth this thread in 500 years:
what tunings are used on any of the guitars on a track and what key a track is in are two different things.
Keith's guitar on Neighbours isn't in open E. yes, Mick asks for an E. two different things.

It is on the orginal recording.

Jumpin' Jack Flash is also not in open E. The live versions from the past almost 40 years are in open G of course and the studio track + some of the live performances (R'n'R Circus for instance) are in standard tuning.

On the Jack Flash record the rhythm part on the right side of the audio field is definitely Open E - if you isolate it using audio editing tools theres a distinctive "slur" from the F# to the A in the main riff that just isn't there when played in standard tuning. The "louder" riff on the left side appears to be standard tuning based on the picked notes played during the middle eight and some of the other chord voicings.

that makes the Rock'n'Roll Circus version even more unique!

Indeed it does, it's possibly the only time Keith played it in standard as part of a Rolling Stones set. Guess he could be standard at the 1968 NME Poll Winners slot too.
