I couldn't help noticing that right before Trippin' Billies on StoryTellers Dave tunes his E string down. I know it doesn't sound right in Drop-D so i'm confused. Can anybody help me out here?

he plays it in standard, so maybe you're just seeing him tune up after he played Crush. I don't remember the order of the songs he played but I know that he didn't play Billies in drop D.

hope that helps ya

It was right after Satellite and it definitely sounds like a tune down from wherever it was.

maybe dave's nervous fidget is messing with the tuning pegs.

Not every song he played got aired, so if he did indeed tune down to D, it was probably for a song that was cut from the broadcast. But if you mean he's tuning down to D while he's telling the story about the song, and there's obviously no cut, then you are wrong and he didnt tune down to D.

Ok I watched the video just now, he doesnt tune down to drop D. All he did was make a slight adjustment.

Yeah that video threw me waaaay off at first too until I downloaded the entire glorious concert from Storytellers. Since VH1 obviously just cut and pasted whatever they wanted to air for the concert then it looks like he's playing drop D for Tripping Billies.

Here's watchacutally happened...

The first story he gave us after Satellite, the San Fran hotel, actually was told between The Stone and Crush. So while he's telling the story he really is tuning to drop D for Crush though they don't air Crush until AFTER Tripping Billies.

They really should have aired more songs...

He played The Stone on Storytellers?

I didn't know that. so after the hotel story, did he then go to talk about Crush and the worship or women and that stuff, before starting the song?
