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.

I don't envy Meat having to make a set-list. Trying to get the right mix of hits, rockers and ballads along with a couple of new songs has to be tough. If it were me feeling like I could never drop "Paradise" would drive me mad. I'd at least shorten it, a couple of shortened for broadcast performances I have seen were more entertaining for me. I know it has to be rough to get in all the songs that a lot of the audience love.
