Wasn’t there a lot of cross over between this band and The Eagles?

I think the Eagles stole Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmit from Poco. I can’t tell you why, though.

Saw Poco around 1973 in Philly. They opened for Johnny Winter.

Because they could make a lot more money with the Eagles than with Poco.

IIRC Phil Hartman came up with their logo.

Right! And those two just happen to be the connected with the my favorite Eagles tunes “Take It To The Limit” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling”.

I’m glad someone did. I amused myself a little too much. Sometimes, I take it to the limit.

Poco was the minor league team for The Eagles bass players.

Poco was a MUCH better band than the Eagles.

I can’t tell you why

What were they gonna do with those shoes? In the long run they were already gone so they took Poco to the limit one more time.
