He had custom made five string guitars to play open E on stage.

Wasn't Prodigal Son and You Gotta Move in '69 in open D? From top of my head he used open E for Prodigal Son in '79, and when he played guitar (well, posed with it) for You Got The Silver.

Richards played Jumpin Jack Flash in open E at the NME concert in London 1968
How come nobody mentioned? Does it mean that I'm wrong?

He played open E on IORR 76 version. Around and Around on Love you Live is another good example...

He might have, but we can't say for sure because we don't have audio and/or footage from the gig.
Some finger positions in the photos from that gig do suggest that Brian's Gibson ES-330TD was tuned to open E.

Thanks. Now that you mention it; I remember some discussions here on IORR about this, a few years ago. You posted some photos.
It would be somewhat strange if they were both tuned in open E - as it would be difficult for any of them to be doing any solos, if so. Not that they necessarily needed a solo; but...

Is there any live footage of this one? The original is in open E tuning as well, or is it this same guitar track ?

I do hear a raised third string on almost every chord, must be open I think -g#, and Keith plays some tones on string 6 resolving to the E chord very smooth.
I am talking the BB track here.
Both open E and standard tuning are possible, I'm not 100% sure.
Take your guitar and give it a try.
