Greeting the sold-out Yorkshire coast crowd, Taylor said: "This is our first time here at this beautiful venue for what is the final date of our European Tour. Thank you for coming out tonight Scarborough, it means so much.” Taylor gave his adoring fans – many who had travelled from around the world to be at the show – a sublime career-spanning set.
Mexico, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight and T-Bone were performed alongside other classics such as Sweet Baby James, Carolina In My Mind and the ever-poignant Fire and Rain. One of the night’s standout moments came with a moving performance of You’ve Got A Friend – the Carole King classic written by Taylor’s long-time friend followed by Up On The Roof, another King-penned favourite.
