A lot of this is dependent on the crowds you're playing to.
Definitely add Your Love and Jessie's Girl. I've performed both songs in a variety of environments and they work well almost universally no matter the crowd.
We've also done Clocks, meh. Never went over that well.
I was in a classic rock cover band that did Hot Blooded and that also didn't go very well. That band in general was a bit of a mess and had trouble getting/keeping crowds too tho, so maybe it was just us.
If you're suggesting Run To You does that mean you've already got Summer of 69 somewhere? Similarly, are you already doing Long Train Runnin by the Doobie Bros?

Never Jesses's girl ever! -crowd response may be good though 
We do "Sweet Child" and we want to drop it cause it is kind of boring and crowd seems ambivliant.
I voted Hall and Oates cause i would love to see it -would have to have a good vocals, harmonies and keys though. I would add Summer of 69 to your list as suggested -if ya dont already have it. I would (and never have) seen Der Kommisar -Falco
Also a band once wanted a suggestion since i bought them a round. They did "Big Country" -Big Country -i couldnt believe it! They said they didnt even know it and winged it -i tipped them a $50
One that goes over well (which i dislike) is "we're not gonna take it" twisted sister *shudder*
Also got response from "should I stay or should I go" -Clash (maybe because of Stranger Things?!)
Party on!
PS: sorry I am so chatty today -it must be the coffee!

If you want to add another Big80's song try "Don't You Forget About Me." it's actually a lot of fun, good bumpin' bass line. Pretend you're Billy Idol. It will sell.
I went for the medium tempo groovers. Stuff like Sweet Child sort of clashes with that set.
Do Roll With The Changes, not too fast, but definitely hit it a little too hard. Should get the ladies out on the floor.

Honestly, I wouldn't do any of those tunes if I were you. People will think you're a cover band...
I had to.
I had to.
if your first set is a quick run thru the Dead Kennedys or Motorhead catalog then any of these will probably get you killed.
