Following “All My Dreams,” The Heavy Heavy would take a moment to sing the praises of the opening act Judy Blank before inviting her out to guest on a few songs. Talking about how talented she is and that having her out on tour allows them to play some songs they don’t usually have the chance to, the band was all smiles as they performed “Wild Emotion” and “In the Night Hour” with Judy dancing wildly around them and harmonizing in a way that radiated real camaraderie.
