Sucking at Setlist Creation

A friend of the band that is Pearl Jam got to make a dream setlist for one of the Gorge shows last Summer. Now, it will be release in June as a 7-CD box set (including the other shows from the Gorge-fest). Here is what he chose:

Wash, Corduroy, Hail Hail, World Wide Suicide, Severed Hand, Given To Fly, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, Even Flow, Down, I Am Mine, Unemployable, Daughter/(It's Ok), Gone, Black, Insignificance, Life Wasted, Blood
Encore 1 Footsteps, Once, Alive, State Of Love And Trust, Crown Of Thorns, Leash, Porch
Encore 2 Last Kiss, Inside Job, Go, Baba O'Riley, Dirty Frank, Rockin' In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter

Mind you, this is a quality set. Just quality. Ok, we (as if I was there...Couldn't quite make it, as I was broke and still am from the East Coast tour) got "Dirty Frank" and some other favorites that they already play often, but dude, this is your dream set list? I know they probably got to pick songs and Ed weaved them into the set in order of tunings, flow, etc...But this flat out sucks a left nut.

Big Wave

Smile
Parachutes
Come Back
Sleight of Hand

Encore 2:

Last Exit

Mankind
Don't Gimme No Lip
All Those Yesterdays

Encore 3:

Now that's a dream set. They've played longer...
