I really wish they would do I Will Drive You Home.
Superman Tonight instead of Amen (that one still gets airplay so some people will know it)
I don’t expect a lot of changes. However, if I never heard Born to Be My Baby or Bad Medicine again at a show, that would be fine.

WWBTF has 17 million plays on Spotify and 26 million on YouTube; ST has 1.7 and 7.9 million, respectively.
I am a numbers guy and believe these are much better representation of how these songs are known than the 'airplay' you refer to. WWBTF, while no masterpiece, does seem to be the last single, where at least it has some commercial distinction to the rest of its respective album, unlike BWC and THINFS in theirs.
That being said, I do agree that Amen needs to be replaced ASAP. There are plenty of other "new ballads" that have the same effect on casuals, but would go much better with diehards. I Will Drive You Home is one. Scars on This Guitar was quite overplayed last year, but is a much better song.
Either way, enjoy the show!
