Eh.  Too many long songs.  Even though I like everything you put on your list, I wouldn't want to see that live.  And I have no desire to see any of the AMBI songs again.  I seem to have hit the rotation just right so that they've been played at just about every show I've been to.  I'd much rather see other things performed.  No desire to see Finally Free either.  The only thing I think I might be inclined to want to hear from SFAM would be Home.

I'll have to think about it, but for the one show I've been to everything after the intermission was my favourite piece off its respective album.

New Millennium 
The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun 
A Mind Beside Itself
In The Name Of God 
Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper

That was pretty ridiculously lucky for me I thought. :)

Hell's Kitchen

I actually managed to fit my top 16 Dream Theater songs into a mostly logical setlist:

Act One - 1:18:00
1.   A Nightmare to Remember (16:10)
2.   Scarred (11:00)
3.   Hell's Kitchen (4:16)
4.   Lines in the Sand (12:05)
5.   Innocence Faded (5:43)
6.   Eve (5:11)
7.   Metropolis (9:32)
8.   Wait for Sleep (2:32)
9.   Learning to Live (11:31)

Act Two - 1:15:24
10.   The Glass Prison (13:52)
11.   This Dying Soul (11:28)
12.   Blind Faith (10:21)
13.   The Dance of Eternity (6:13)
14.   In the Name of God (14:14)
15.   The Count of Tuscany (19:16)

Encore
16.   A Change of Seasons (23:06)

Total Time: 2:56:30

It would have been nice to get some representation from each album, but leaving out When Dream and Day Unite, Octavarium, and Systematic isn't a huge loss.

Half of my posts are satire; the other half are serious. If you can't tell which half you're looking at, it's probably the former. I enjoy busting chops amongst likeminded fellows. Where better to feel at home than among the fans of the world's most fun band? :)
