The only rationale I can think of is that Dreams seems to have both in her sets and FM sets this standard slot of second song in the set. Given how she likes to roll Outside the Rain into Dreams, that puts OTR first.

I agree there are other songs that would be nice to hear. Angel continues to be one of them for me, but the caveat is that I don't like her solo versions; the FM live version is far, far better.

I agree that both she and FM have a duo or trio pattern of songs they like to use in a certain way and sequence in the set and OTR is a part of her pattern. She'll do it with HSML too. I actually appreciate it. I like having a song that is a stage standard but isn't something you'll hear on the radio.

Also, there is a mentality of "don't start too hot." Let it build. They don't want to begin with a song that's too popular. They want to ascend.
