Yes it was Ginny.
Perhaps Meat adjusted Paradise on the MMW Tour based on what he learned from the Guilty Pleasure Tour. He's always changing and perfecting. Maybe he knew it ran long...but there was a lot going on. They committed to the scenes that played out and it took as long as it took. I'm glad to have seen what took place in AU because Meat usually changes Paradise every tour launch somehow.
I know he adjusted Paradise almost nightly during the MMW Tour because at the very least the story changed....Patti's lobster dinner got bigger and bigger every show (per reviews written and the shows I went to)
. Then by Clearwater, he dropped the dinner menu bit altogether. I'm not sure what version you witnessed by the time it came to your neck of the woods.
So yeah, the length of Paradise is always a variable....I see it as there is no set time where Paradise needs to end. It takes as long as it does to have the story in Meat's head play out the way he wants it to be told/sung. That given, there are a few things I can always take away from a Paradise performance no matter how long or short.....1. The first kiss in the make out session (should there be one) is always a timely intense HOT moment. 2. there is always a humorous banter and 3. often times there is a shot to Meat's "big surprise" by the end!
The version of Paradise on the DVD was different than the Hang Cool Tour and at the end of the evening, I'm glad to have another version I have now seen.
