As for the repeated IE section, the band could've changed it up a bit...
Acrobat and Horses

Beautiful Day and Elevation too.

They’ve acknowledged pop a few times but ever since 360 there has only been one performance of a song from no line and even on the 360 tour not a lot of songs from the album were played. Ceaders of lebanon or breathe would be great additions to the setlist!

Again, I think it's entirely up to the band as to what they choose to perform. That said, I've always wanted to hear a Pop song live. I'm not sure why they ignore No Line but I also don't really care too much. I'd be happy with a song in the set but I don't think it's needed.
I actually think the set is OK but I do have some issues:
-I am disappointed that Batman isn't live and I would like for Acrobat and Horses to be staples.
- Red Flag Day and Summer Of Love belong in the set.
- There is too much SOI in my opinion. I'd have gone with maybe 2 songs at most.
- I think it is a missed opportunity to reviit some of the songs on ATYCLB and Bomb though ABOY is beack so... (I almost feel like pairing that with Best Thing would be a good segue/transition)

Although some warhorses are here (Beautiful Day, Pride, One, IWF, Desire, Vertigo, Elevation) I don't think the casual concert goer is going to be happy with the show/set - not that this is a bad thing. However, I do think the press/media are going to publish a lot of mediocre or negative reviews; especially since no JT songs.
I wonder how the band will react to possible bad press?
