If we believe to know the majority of setlist elements that typically correlate to a rating, would it make sense to list those elements for a user to individually rate when they go to rate a show? Subsequently a formula could crunch those numbers together to generate an "overall rating". Personally, I think I would stop and think twice about each category and probably be less impulsive with my rating after attending a show. Yes, it could drive some people away from rating due to the "survey-ness" of the approach, but at least you're able to understand and measure the impact of a rating based on those elements.
