This is a solid/reasonable list. I still have to wonder if they have any inkling about an AB anniversary tour (doubtful - and sorry to bring it up again). However, if it was the case they'd probably hold back some of the rarer AB tracks until this tour - including/especially Acrobat.
HOWEVER, if they aren't going to do it (AB30) then they should play it now.

There's some parts of it I don't want to change – that killer start of four songs, for example – but I would love some Pop in there. Last Night on Earth or Gone, more Zooropa, but also don't disregard SOI. I don't think they will, but some of it needs to stay. A tune or two from NLOTH wouldn't go amiss.

The 4 songs at the start is probably the section i'd change the most. I think the Miracle is one of the SOI songs that does need to go, vertigo needs a break, I will Follow needs a break and the early song in slot 2 should be replaced by either a different early song if they're still balancing out the Innocence with experience or go straight into some 90's songs from a new track to open the show. Personally I'd love
1. New song
2. The fly
3. Until The End Of The world
4. Discotheque
,
That would be an amazing opening then have a few more new songs to follow or I'd even be happy with them starting the show with a few new songs in a row.

I don't think they should ditch The Miracle, as it is the PERFECT opening, unless a better one comes along on the next album.

I think it was a decent opener when they were promoting SOI since it was from that album and they reworked it a bit live but I think it was one of the weaker songs on the album, albeit still a pretty good song. I don't think they'll keep much from SOI on the E&I tour since they'll be promoting a new album and if they do keep any I'd pick any of the other SOI regulars over The Miracle.

It's still INNOCENCE and Experience though.
