I'll give it a shot. 75 minutes divided by approx. 3.5 minutes per song on average would allow time for 21 / 22 songs in that time limit. You've got a good mix of upbeat songs there and that's what people need during these times. Here's my picks with a few alternatives FWIW but you'll have to arrange them. Have fun! :-)
All Right Now Boogie Shoes Brown Eyed Girl Drift Away Fooled Around and Fell in Love Get Ready Gimme 3 Steps Green River Honky Tonk Women House is a Rockin’ House of the Rising Sun Keep Your Hands to Yourself Lodi Long Train Runnin’ Mony Mony Mustang Sally Pride and Joy Run Around Sue School Days Sweet Home Takin Care of Business The Twist Werewolves/All Summer Long What I Like About You Wholly Bully

you don't have the time listed after each song
do you just figure 3 minutes each and add 3-4 extra on the list encase you run short?
a good mix for a party is start with a couple fun sons that aren't real dance-able while people get a drink
then a couple dance songs get the couples on the floor , then a fast younger folks song or two then a couple more dance tunes ,sprinkle in a good sing along like Gloria , and Sweet Caroline to get people back on their feet or for a break from slow songs but you need some polka and the chicken dance or you will never make it playing Wisconsin Weddings.

Up until the '60's songs played on radio were limited to approx. 3:30 minutes per side.

no out door dance floor ?
Wisconsin can't be the only place where this is a thing , many lions clubs even have one you can rent already painted black and white for a checker board floor

I suppose with the price of plywood these days it might get stolen if you left it up over night after the party
most of the time they were a bucket of shims , a grid of 1x3 and sheets of plywood with a can of screws
lay out the grid , shim up where needed zip some screws in and lay the plywood and screw it down

Personally, I don't like the Beatles, and the song "God Bless the USA" has been played to death by bands. Maybe think about them replacing those songs with some Vince Gill or SRV ?

If you were listening to the radio, would that list be a smooth transition and keep you listening?
Or would you turn the dial? lol depends you going to put on 10 minutes of commercials every 20 minutes?

Can’t lose those tunes, the key board player has to earn his keep. lol
We are opening for The Navy Band is why I thought God Bless the USA would be good.

Much better! . . . Do Jimi "Star Spangled Banner" instead of "God Bless the USA" . . . Just kidding Just a secondary thought, If you're opening for the Navy Band, why not "introduce" them coming next by playing "Anchors Aweigh"?
