I agree with you both Vicki and Caryl, about the performance value and costs. I was thinking over this a bit and looked at it another way as well.
I came up with: the powers that be must really believe in the project as a whole to confidently come up with a big industry changing idea like they had. To me it subliminally said, all of the CD's rich content should be heard live. They probably don't want to eliminate any song from a live performance, because Meat does them so well. (which again, makes me extremely excited for this album's release). I'm sure after the next coffee they had, they woke up and smelled the costs (monitarily and physically) involved. And much to Meat's relief :)
As on other threads, a concert/tour set list can be debated until the cows come home. Can you imagine a Meat concert without BOOH or some other fan faves? The replacement songs would have to be so big...but ya' know what....I have a feeling Meat may have em'.
