Johnston (Comotion) added percussion to several songs on both Friday and Saturday night. Furtado emerged Saturday to play banjo at the end of the first set for Freedom Jazz Dance and Restless Wind and then returned at the beginning of the second set for Elvis’ Wild Ride and Sittin’ on Top of the World.
Fridays show began with keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth – donning a white tuxedo – serenading the audience at the famous Radio City organ. The curtain then ascended, revealing the rest of the band dressed in white tuxes.
