Been finding more POCO "electric"stuff these days... Much live stuff I have seen past few years featured quiet, acoustic stuff with Rusty on dobro or acoustic guitar instead of pedal steel..
This is one of Poco's lesser known tunes, and one of my all time favorites. It is GREAT to see George Grantham up there singing his great harmonies and looking well,, even though his days behind the kit are probably over.
Paul Cotton sounds like he's still a 30 year old man. Rusty hasn't been doing as much hi speed pyrotechnics behind the steel these days from what I understand, but still sounds great just the same!... Enjoy this tune!
I wore this record out in the 70's.
This record with Rusty's playing basically was a teacher ... showed me how to play backup country licks behind a singer...

Thanks for that Bob, I was lucky to see them two summers ago with the whole original band sans Randy Meisner who really left before the first album came out. It was great to see them all out there. I was too young to see them in the early years, only came to know them after 'Legend', but went back and own everything they ever did. I have seen them countless times starting around 1980. I think Rusty is my favorite steel player to this day. After watching the video you posted I wnet to my favorite Poco song and I think this version is tops, as is the way Rusty plays it. Enjoy

wow, those two songs were truly magnificent... Rusty sounding as good as he ever did, with just otherwordly tone on that Carter[twin of my Carter btw!!]... Paul is still singing his ass off, playing great too, and the harmonies are like POCO the old days...
Why can't "modern" performers write, play, and sing at this level I wonder?... Well not too many anyway....
