Here in the song Mighty Man you can see that the 64 Strat is tuned into Custom Open C tuning, so Just A Boy could be recorded with this exact configuration.

And of course Skydiver is played with the same guitar and same tuning starting with slide to the 7th fret. Played by Richard of course.

Maybe I see (;D) it wrong, but this is Open C right?

It’s in open C for CBC. Guy has confirmed it.

Yes, I re-checked and of of course it's in Open C. Must have had some kind of a fever that night I've heard it being in B. Hearing is so subjective sometimes :smack

Easily done!
I’m sure Mark, being who he is, could play a song in the key of C with open Bb tuning and still make it sound awesome!
