A) Meat did sing it live, many times during the early '80s.
B) Manilow's version is shite.
C) Meat's version isn't shite but is in dire need of remastering.
D) I think the reason it isn't played live is simply that Two Out Of Three, Heaven Can Wait and Objects get a better reaction from the audience than Read 'Em And Weep would. Meat can only fit so many songs into a show, so it's either a ballad from the album of the moment or one of those three songs.
