I guess the artist often doesn't have a say in if it can be live or anything. And then there's time constraints and money etc to get the band there. It was a fun effort don't get me wrong, but considering Meat can actually mime really well a recent live track from that era (the 1998 tour or so) would have worked extremely well. In The Netherlands however Paradise was a HUGE hit in the late 80s/early 90s and perhaps that's why they opted for the original track.
