Got to see Poco Saturday night at a very small venue in mid Missouri! Rusty Young is the only member who is still with them after nearly 50 years. They've had lots of changes, but they sounded great. There were probably 400 people there and they signed autographs afterwards and let you take pictures. Rusty mentioned Randy Meisner and Timothy as former members. Said they left them for bigger things-Eagles, which got a laugh from the crowd. They did Rose of Cimarron (my favorite Poco song) and it didn't sound quite as good without Timothy, but it was good none the less. They played for about 2 hours with an intermission. Got to hear Call It Love and Crazy Love too. More favorites! It was a really fun evening!
The venue was a very small, old Lodge in the Ozark hills. We had been there and stayed before when we saw America there, but opted for a more updated hotel in a nearby town this time. It was about a three hour drive for us, but Rusty said it only took him about 20 minutes as loves these Missouri hills and he owns a cabin in the area! He also said they would be back there this time next year with a 50th anniversary show and would have some special guests (former members) along with them! Hmmm, might have to check that out next year!
