I like your selections.  However, there's no way that the indivdual discs
would hold all the tracks (esp. discs three and five), so you're probably
looking at a seven disc set.  Not that there's anything wrong with that. 
I'd gladly buy it.  I just don't think MCA at this point has any intention
of releasing anything more than a two disc set.  The Hendrix Stages and
Clapton Crossroads 2 box sets show that a 4CD box set is definitely
feasible, though.   
 
Personally, I'd like to see something along the lines of Zappa's You Can't
Do That on Stage live anthology  series -- a series of chrological double
disc live compilations.  One set could cover all the pre'69 material. 
Another could cover '69-70.  A third could cover 71-72.  A fourth could
cover 73-74.  A fifth could cover the exemplary 76 tour.  A sixth could
cover the '79-80 tours, etc.  Unlike a box set, each of these could be
reasonably priced, and the release dates could be spread out in order to
avoid a glut of live material.
