I like that list alot but I think I would possibly switch out 'Death' for 'Alone' and add Exciter, Hell Patrol, Ram It Down, and Blood Red Skies. I love both songs, but I think the chorus on 'Alone' is more powerful. The song alone is simply moving. 'Death' sounds like classic Black Sabbath. Haunting, gloomy, and the kind of song you don't want to fall asleep too. For the three songs I added, Exciter is a Priest standard; Ram It Down is the equivalent of standing in the way of a stock car doing 180mph and getting run over by it and Blood Red Skies is absolutely defiant. A real f-off to those who try and take what does not belong to them. As for Hell Patrol, allow me to paraphrase Hellrider by saying that it's a total rush of powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwer! That being said, my list would look this way:
The Hellion/Electric Eye
Metal Gods
Heading Out To The Highway
The Ripper
Ram It Down
Green Manalishi
Angel
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Blood Red Skies
Alone
Hell Patrol
Judas Rising
The Sentinel
Turbo Lover
Victim Of Changes
Exciter
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Living After Midnight

Considering how it looked in 2004, and the release of Angel Of Retribution and Nostradamus. My reasons for the setlist I provided are: Death is the new brutal 'Priest song (it's as good as "Black Sabbath" the song...and it is a must for a 'Priest setlist) and blows A Touch Of Evil out of the water, Diamonds And Rust is dated and unoriginal compared to Angel, and Judas Rising is like a theme song for 'Priest.
