If it hasn't already, I expect Sympathy to be permanently moved out of the opening slot which they might have already done since Paris show #2?
Not a great way to start a show imo with drum loops and a screwed up solo (most of the time)- save that for the second half where it's less noticeable.
'Sympathy' was the ideal set opener, but I think it will be moved as the light nights of May, June and July will mean it won't be dark enough at the start of the show for the pyrotechnics and drama of the song to have their full impact.

Sympathy was back in the opening slot for Paris #3.
Personally, I hope they would open with SFM.

I expect that there will be the usual set list complaints here on IORR, from those who have followed every song of every tour they've ever done since the virtual world of online forums has made that possible, and who get easily bored with repetition, and who think it should be 1972 or 1981 forever.
I expect that those who attend the shows, most of whom will see only one show on the tour and then get on with their lives, will have a great time and consider it an occasion to remember. Because too much of a good thing is what spoils the enjoyment of a good thing.
I expect that the band will continue on playing the same show for the remainder of their touring days, because having attained the status of legends they can only get away with presenting that which has made them legendary, like a touring museum attraction.
To expect anything more is just not realistic at this stage of the band's career.

I recall mixed reviews from those who attended the shows as well as those who watched it live online - some liked it as opener, some did not.
As mentioned above, it was eventually moved out of the opening slot for Paris #2 which made for a better show imo.

'Sympathy' was only moved at Paris #2 in the interests of variety. It was back in place as the opener for the third Paris show. So the opening numbers in Paris last October were 'Sympathy' (19th), 'JJF' (22nd) and 'Sympathy' (25th).
