Setlists featured hits from throughout his catalog, including "Your Smiling Face," "Mexico," "That's Why I'm Here," "How Sweet It Is," "Fire and Rain," "Sweet Baby James" and "Carolina in My Mind"

Taylor's most recent album of all-new material is 2002's "October Road." A holiday set titled "James Taylor: A Christmas Album"--sold exclusively at Hallmark retail outlets--followed last year.
