There is some great information on this little blog. He writes for a local newspaper and did an interview with Taylor prior to the Poughkeepsie show. All of this info is in this blog entry.
Here's Amy's recap posted in Sean's blog:

Hey Sean - here's my recap. Thought I'd also let you know that the New England Soul Patrol group that attended the show traveled many hours to see Taylor open for EW&F. My 11th show was pretty cool and the venue was awesome. I've got a 9 hour drive tomorrow to get home. The next show for me is on September 29th in Springfield, MA at The Big E. It's the New England Soul Patrol's first birthday. http://www.newenglandsoulpatrol.org
The show was a little late getting started, and we weren't treated to Soulfinger tonight. He came right out to Gonna Move and luckily, where I was seated, I was able to stand and dance the entire set. We weren't blocking anyone's view and danced to our little hearts' content. Next up was a very funky version of Give Me Tonight. Taylor was really trying to get the crowd up and moving, but it seemed they were a hard crowd to win over. You could certainly look around and see the die-hard Soul Patrollers up and on their feet. He did manage to get an original in the set with Heart and Soul. It was an amazing version and he ended it by stressing that it was an original. Next up was the "first single off the album", Just To Feel That Way. What can you say about it? It is what it is at this point. He asked us to get funky with Naked In The Jungle, and I wondered if the people behind us were going to stop talking long enough to give Taylor a chance. We stood directly in front of them at that point as they weren't really paying any attention. We did the "speak out" moves and I wished we were a little closer so he could enjoy a few fans in the crowd that were appreciating what he was doing. Heaven Knows and The Maze were their usual charming selves...he was dancing up a storm and tagged Want Ads which was thudworthy and I believe I have some video of that. I tried to help him start The Right Place tonight, but the place was so big my little voice was drowned out. It was a very nice version and the people behind us finally stopped talking for a short time. The Runaround wrapped up the set - managed to get a couple of more people up and dancing. He tagged Big Boss Man and Willie Brown and played some beautiful harp.
