Bad Name has been in the first 3 songs for SO LONG. This could be great as an encore opener. I think that It's My Life (if it MUST be played) could take the place as the early-set-big-hit.

Prayer has either closed the main set or the show for a long time now, too. I've always thought that it would fit well after the acoustic set. Jon starts the acapella from the b-stage (if there is one), and let it build up from there. Let songs like Keep the Faith or Saturday Night be closers. Or be a bit ballsy and let a new song close, like Love's the Only Rule.

Wanted has been at the end for a very long time too. But it seems with these one-offs lately, it's been moved up into the main set, so there's some hope.

You get the point. There's many other songs that could be different if they moved around. But they also should ditch some of the current regulars (Captain Crash, some of the Lost Highway songs, etc.) and bring back some of the old regulars, like Wild in the Streets, Blaze of Glory, and One Wild Night.

Whether any of this happens remains to be seen, and based on past tours, it probably won't. But it's good to be optimistic, right?

Thoughts?
