What I'll do is use mastic on the 1.5 foot of drywall (below ceiling) that is above the concrete backer board to apply those tiles.However, I've run into an issue where I have an inch and a half of tile floating on the bottom row nearest the tub because I stopped the backerboard at the top of the tub flange.
