I agree. In the context of a musical play, I'd say it has to be The Closer. In a rock concert, it can also serve as The Opener. Playing it 3rd, as Meat has been doing, is just strange, and not very dramatically effective, but whatever, at least I got to hear it.

For the musical, I think it should be a finale, as you point out, of either Act I or II (or III ??). I suppose it would be okay to close the show with it, and then maybe tack on an "encore" of 2 or 3 bonus songs, not included in the show's storyline.
