It was essentially just to make up for them dropping QWERTY (which they didn't play at several of the Set B shows before that anyway). They replaced QWERTY with Don't Stay and jumbled the order around a bit.

Excellent analysis for the 'how' but the question was 'why'. :lol:

The band was unhappy with how QWERTY sounded live because half of them liked the old live version from 2006 better, half of them liked the newer studio version better, and they couldn't agree on an arrangement to play live. That would explain them dropping the song...

 

As for switching up the order, my best guess is that they have certain lighting effects, guitar changes between songs, etc. timed to happen like clockwork, and dropping one song from a set and replacing it with something else throws the flow off for the band, and perhaps even more importantly, their road crew. They may have tinkered with the order to find something that worked better for all parties involved. And more obviously, QWERTY was being played as an encore, while Don't Stay is one of those "early part of the set" type of songs, so they had to switch things around a bit there. That doesn't explain the entire second half of the set being completely jumbled around though.
