Here is the setlist for JR's first live online show:

Hourglass  (LTE)
Improv
Song for Danielle
Richard Memorial Composition
For Japan
I Talk to the Wind/Court of the Crimson King/Dance of Eternity (excerpt)

Encore

Hey You (Pink Floyd)
Through Her Eyes
[Yes cover song]
Song For Wayne Earl (contest winner)

Extended Encore

The Spirit Carries On
[Genesis cover song]
State of Grace (LTE)/ Jazz Improv/Dance of Eternity (ragtime section)

The show lasted for an hour (so worth the $5) and it was very interactive.  Jordan held a contest during the performance in which the highest "tipper" would have an original imrpov dedicated to them.  The winner was Wayne Earl.  I do not know how much he donated because my webbrowser stopped updating the in-show tweets at some point.  I tipped about $40 and was only ranked #30 -- WOW!!

Jordan played a Genesis cover and a Yes cover which I did not recognizw -- maybe another DTFer can fill in this missing info?  I think I saw Shadows there. 

Fans were repeatedly asking for Dance of Eternity, and sure enough Jordan vamped into a crazy prog section of the song.  Afterward, Jordan said that he hasn't played the song in over a year, but he saw the message board light up with requests, and went with it (even ending the show with the ragtime section).

I was hoping to return to the page that froze so that I could read all the zany DT fan chatter during the show-- but the site does not allow this once a show has ended (bummer).

Ultimately-- a beautiful show and a rare DT interactive experience.

I was there and greatly enjoyed the show! I expect many more to come, as this show format really seems to work! :D

I saw it, it was great! I wasn't able to finish Spirit Carries On for some reason -- it said the show had ended. :c
