Doesn't fit the theme at all - Vertigo is a song about them playing in front of people, very much ties in to the "roots" segment of those first three songs.

I think the structure is actually pretty brilliant...Opening song about their biggest inspirations, second song is that inspiration realized in a very early song, and the third song is them taking that all the way to the limit and really delivering with "Vertigo"...then it uses IWF, another early hit that really rocks live, to segue to the themes about Bono's mother and teenage years.

This is the hard thing about this tour, the concept, certain songs don't fit the setlist or fits only around 14/15 or encore...

From a statistics standpoint, sure. There aren't as many rotating slots.

But trust me... you wouldn't want to sacrifice the narrative of this performance for a few more rotating slots. Before I saw the show live, in person, I would have called the narrative the greatest weakness of this tour. After seeing it live, I can confirm it is what I consider the biggest strength.
