Sean thats different from I heard but interesting... I heard that they didn't do Blind As A Bat Live becuase the inhouse band couldn't play it like Meat wanted it to be played and it was too late at that time to get a backing track made of the arrangement. Hence he had to mime it but towards the end, they switched on the mic as you could hear Meat's live vocals ready for Dead Ringer, which was played by them...
In my opinion, I think there are different stories. As I also heard, not sure if this is true again, but Kasim got called over from to help Meat out with the arrangement for Dead Ringer For Love at rehearsals...

Thats how I understood it anyway and that the band weren't there at all.
