how do you define a good set list?

Just curious how others determine if they like a set list for a particular show? My problem is that every time I look at a set list, I think it looks good. In an effort to be somewhat objective, I made a list of songs I have wanted to hear in person but so far haven't before this tour started.
After hitting a few shows in the last couple of months, I knocked Leash, Satan's Bed, and Lowlight off the list. Now I am down to about 10 - Oceans, Breath, Rats, Mankind, Red Mosquito, Fatal, Hunger Strike, Who You Are, Love Boat Captain, and I Am Mine. With the exception of a couple, most are pretty rare.
When I look at set lists now, I think any show in which they play one of these to be great and any show with more than one is stellar.
How do you determine if a set list is to your liking - rare songs, highlighting songs from a previous album, change in tempo throughout the set, etc.?

a good setlist must have corduroy
best song ever
By that standard, every setlist is a good setlist. That's like saying a good setlist must have Even Flow!
Good point - that is exactly the problem. Corduroy is also my favorite song. Every time I look at a set list I think "that is fucking fantastic". I am just curious to see if others have the same problem or if you have a system for determining if it is a set list you like.
I don't know what it was. I mean, they did not sing a single song from Riot Act or Binaural, but the show was like a rocket. It just went up and up and up. Encore 1 with the slower sit down songs was nice with Man of the Hour, Off He Goes, and Footsteps, but soon as Once and Alive hit, back on the rocket!!! My favorite setlist so far, 3 more to go!!

My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
There isn't a song that i dislike. I don't hink I've ever seen a set list that i don't like.
If I am in the same room w/them & they're playing. It's a great Friggin night. (even if they aren't playing
If you are in the room & I'm not...I'm jealous. Even if they sang the alphabet forwards & backwards all night long!
Their shows are always amazing. period.
