If you're talking minor instrumental re-arrangements they still do it from time to time - KTF in 2013 was updated, so was Wanted (Bobby's parts). Lost Highway for a while had an instrumental interlude in 2010-2011. I guess they could do it to other songs as well, but my guess is Jon feels like those biggest hits (Prayer and IML) should not be messed with, which is kind of true, because we are not the audience they are playing those songs to.
Nah, I'm not talking TLFR arrangements at all.

Born To Be My Baby is up there with any of them, so Prayer and IML do not get a pass. Little touches here and there (the Lost Highway bit was great! I forgot about that one.) These changes have no impact on the casual audience as they are still getting what they expect and more.
