A very fitting Monday montra!! Listen to that crowd!!

[Funk 50]

Just found this video of Poco, circa 1990, including Randy, performing a medley of songs that really shouldn't be performed as a medley;

Thank you so much, Funk! That was wonderful. Randy's harmony on Crazy Love sounded so good.
It makes sense that each person in the band would do their most famous song, as a way of introduction to a festival audience, many of whom would surely be asking, "Who the hell are these guys?"
More puzzling to me is Randy's shirt, depicting his band with pig noses.

Farm Aid IV took place on April 7, 1990 in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Hoosier Dome. Don Henley was also on the bill. I don't guess that Randy and Don hung out backstage to reminisce about old times.

Randy's career has taken him many places and he's seen many things - but nothing trumps the joy of playing beautiful songs like this one with Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band in 1970.

It may be hard to smile these days but what living takes out of us - it puts back - healing takes time - but you'll get there.

Easy to Be Free.

[FWIW]

It's nice to see Randy get some recognition in this video, "What ever happened to Randy Meisner of the Eagles?"

Thank you for the video link, FWIW. I believe this is the first I heard that Gregg Allman auditioned for Buffalo Springfield/Poco. Does anyone know if there is any other verification for this?

[FWIW]

I heard an interview with some of the members of Poco and Jim Messina talked about getting the last member of the group. This part starts at 6:30 in the linked YT video. Jim used the word "interviewed," i.e. Gregg Allman and Gram Parsons were interviewed, but ultimately the spot went to Randy.

[Delilah]

Great interview(s)! It was quite insightful with Messina saying he came up with the idea of doing "country rock" while Rusty credits the Everly Brothers. Then for the Legacy album they all came together as "equals".

Also interesting is that Gram Parsons practiced with them during auditions and basically took their ideas to Roger Mcguinn to make their next record.

Well Funk It was Farmaid so I suppose they were told to do a medley everyone in the audience could recognize a song or two.
