Yes, as Mel and Caryl have both stated, Meat played Giving Tree up until his Vegas run. When I saw his Mad Mad World Tour he played the three songs that Caryl mentioned as well as played Our Love and Our Souls. Meat has commented several times that HIAHB is the first album where he was not in character. He also commented about how this album is a reflection of what he thinks is going on in the world as he sees it.
To say that Meat didn't think that this was a very good album is contrary to what Meat himself has said. Where would he rank it in his list, I have no idea. I do know that he as well as Paul (who has spoken highly of the album in the production thread) are both very proud of their work.
