I think HTDAAB is probably the best album of the last 3. Besides, I think they need to play Original Of The Species and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own again.

And New York instead of Even Better, Grace for ISHF, Wild Honey for WOWY, When I Look At The World for SBS and Kite for COBL

None. The songs aren't popular enough to stay. If you look at Vertigo, Stuck In A Moment, Beautiful Day and similar others from 2000 onwards, they're mainstays for the band's touring life because they always get a hell of a reaction and are loved by the crowds. I saw people walking out on MoS; not sure if that's because they were tired and needed a taxi or bus back or whatever. But if that's an effect of being a real downer song, then I'd say they were tired (the audience) of it.
There's a small chance Magnificent might stay but that's it and possibly Breathe.
If they were playing to hardcore fans only night after night (like they were a small indie band with hardly any success in the bigger music landscape), you'd be hearing things like Stay, Out Of Control, Electric Co, All I Want Is You, Hawkmoon...all the stuff that rarely gets played on this tour and not all that often, if ever anymore.
As much as I'm sure we'd all like WoWY, Walk On and Stuck to take a break, they never will. Or at least they won't be there for one show on the one-off occasion.

From U2gigs page on the third show:
Songs from 13 U2 albums have been played during this show.*
The ONLY albums that this show is missing something from are Pop and Rattle and Hum. (And HMTMKMKM was basically a part of the Pop era, though not actually on that album) That is an achievement.
If you want to be stubborn and not count Batman as Pop, at least acknowledge that they've played a snippet of Discotheque on the 360 Tour that was so extensive, it contained the riff of the song. It's also no secret that they've played Angel of Harlem and Desire on this tour, and have also played Party Girl which was previously only available on Under a Blood Red Sky.
That means U2 have played their entire catalog on this tour. Not every song from it, per se, but they've given attention to every single album. Sure, they've given an unfortunately small amount to Pop, but parts of that album did make it to parts of the 360 Tour. I'm back to in-love with U2360. This is obviously and factually the most career-encompassing tour they've ever done.
*Granted, three of those albums are "Unreleased Songs", "Non-album songs", and "Cover songs"...that's still huge if you consider what I posted above about the tour as a whole. Each album has been represented, and even this show contained everything minus Pop and R&H. Achievement.
