He covered songs including “Black” by Pearl Jam, “Fly Like an Eagle” by Steve Miller Band, “Give My Love to Rose” by Johnny Cash, and many more. Early into his performance he got a little choked up and said, “I have dreamed of doing something like this forever, you guys are amazing. I’m going to shake everyone’s hands before I leave tonight.” He continued to praise the crowd and they sang along with him throughout the night. At times, he was joined by Junk Beer Kidnap Band members for different songs.

Towards the end of the night Taylor dedicated a special song to Paul Gray, bassist for Slipknot who died earlier this year and whose wife, Brenna Gray, was in the crowd.

Over at Vanity, the recently single Jenny McCarthy was partying with friends. She was wearing a short black dress and drank Grey Goose and cranberry all night. Around 2 a.m. she made her way to the DJ booth and requested “Fire Burning” by Sean Kingston. She was particularly fond of one of her male companions whom she was dancing with until 4 a.m.
