I don't believe Jon when he said Stranger would have been on there. I think he was just pacifying interview questions. Jon's always one step ahead and knew that Blaze might get questioned and then "why not a Richie song"

I only remember reading that quite with the Stranger inclusion coming from Richie, not Jon. Not sure Jon had really said that.

To use one of your favourite sentences - can you give us any proof of this?
In 1996, they were playing I'd Die For You because they had been experimenting with it just for fun in the studio some time before - Jon said that during one of the European shows before playing it.
In 2000, the initial idea had been to keep the acoustic set and hence they were probably looking for a halfway-known song to fit in there in a different fashion. However, the acoustic section was axed after 4 shows on the tour, but Runaway survived.
