On The Way Home, Poco Reunion with Richie Furay, Jimmy Messina, Timothy B. Schmit

Rusty Young sprung this old Buffalo Springfield song on Richie for their encore at the end of the historic April 22, 2009 reunion show at The Maverick in Santa Ynez, CA. Richie never saw it coming as they had not rehearsed it in advance.

[@atty4349]

Neil wrote it but no one can sing it like Richie.

[@robinsteiner7143]

OMG - how it makes me miss Rusty and Paul and seeing them at Wildwood Springs in Steelville MO... LOVED Poco!!! Best band of all times... Best memories of all times...

[@debelt]

Poco was the most underrated band of all time. It’s all about timing sometimes. The Eagles made it, but don’t think they don’t appreciate the contribution Poco made. They paved the way man.

[@mrb4886]

Not underrated idiot. Lengedary

[@bradysullivan6311]

Totally Agree, While I like some of the Eagle's stuff, Poco was such a fresh sound, super vocals, great pickin' - wonderful songwriting! Saw Poco this February at the SWFL Event Center in Bonita Springs, FL. Rusty was amazing, as was Jack and the rest of the band too!

[@keith_kar8166]

The self titled "Poco" album is a classic. One of my favorites of all time.

[@HungryH1951]

I have read where the Eagles did acknowledge Poco, Glenn Frey in particular, and considered them one of the bands they learned some things from. They all played the same clubs and knew each other well. Randy Meisner was a member of Poco for a while so there was some influence right there.

[@robertbyington7715]

The Eagles made it because they had 2 members TBS and Randy Meisner of Poco not mention Joe Walsh Hensley and Fry

[@jamesmartin6709]

I've seen Richie Furay and Jim Messina do solo shows the last couple of years. They're still bringing it.

[@dennisgoodnight2029]

We're seeing Richie in February, can't wait!

[@virginiaharris-johnston618]

Richie is the major musician to continually Promote country rocl from the sixties until now accompanied by such incredible musicians such as Stills Messina Smitz cook etc. Follow POCO THRO LOGGINS AND M😅ESSINA, THE EAGLES CSN AND Y MANASSAS BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, on and on it goes and the fact that he has found

[@charlesholloway7979]

this does my old heart good...Poco and Buffalo Springfield were favorites during my high school days in the early '70s...

[@wash711]

Poco was an opening act for Stills/Young in 1976 at the Richfield Coleseum. Pure Prairie League was the other opening act. What a fantastic concert!!

[@geatorella]

I'm crying with joy, this is such a beautiful tribute to one of my favorite songs ever!!

[@promiskept]

Buffalo Springfield WAS the best counter to the British Invasion that had happened up til their time. True country roots, with rock's pioneers!

[@jerryfeigelson4728]

twas paul revere and the raiders

[@davidmurray2539]

The Byrds were called America's answer to The Beatles and that kind of held all the way through and including Notorious Byrd Bros . And had Moby Grape been possessed by collective sanity and proper management, they had an assembled musical talent that made Buffalo Springfield look like Battle of the Bands contestants somewhere in middle America.

[@robertbarrientos3130]

Such a great song..🎶 all their music reminds us of the sixties..for us who grew up in that era 🤔

[@joenuch7929]

Just saw Messina at Daryl’s club wow memories saw poco few times they were great wow I’m getting old lol

[@Anglynn74]

I miss Rusty, so sad he's gone, still can't believe it

[@billmorton7720]

Sadly Rusty Young and Paul Cotton have passed away recently. Their gifts they gave us will forever be remembered.

[@RustedTelevisione]

Long live the Buffalo Springfield!

[@ludwigdrummer717]

... just wonderful. And who ever knew in the day that Rusty could sing ?

[@ST-xg3gy]

Thank you, Neil Young.

[@tonifrancis2189]

Love it. Great version and they're having a great time!

[@tom.hoffmann6585]

Yes they are Toni😃

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Wonderful!

[@davidcohen990]

They were sooooooooooooooo good! Kind Woman!

[@craigclarke1877]

Probably the best musicians and vocalists are Rusty and Paul and it's great to see them all together.

[@jmodmon2]

Absolutely great moment; love everyone of these guys and thank them for the huge contribution they made to my life!

[@Topkat311]

I still love these guys!

[@debbieedwards711]

I love it!! So special! Thanks for sharing.

[@QueerAndUnplugged]

"In a strange way, I saw myself as you knew me. When the change came and you had the chance to see through me". Great 'effing music. Buffalo Springfield were one helluva group.

[@wash711]

Neil...

[@DianeBarrettElizabeth]

I adore them all, especially Paul Cotton. Love you, Norman.

[@mikesachs1249]

Buffalo Springfield Retrospective....GREAT Album......and Super Session too

[@lisadc4681]

[@Merq-ko8di]

Young , Furay , Cotton , Tim B 🎶🎼🎵👍👍👍

[@tom.hoffmann6585]

I have never heard this before a it is fantastic ! Thanks to all 😅

[@lindarandall4140]

In their day, Poco ROCKED...awesome...

[@mayanlongcount1]

+Linda Randall thank you for reminding everyone else linda. they did rock. saw them spring 74 in champaign. rusty was the keeper of that show. instrumental beyond sensational.

[@goldenhealer5645]

I was there also in Champaign. That school had sooo many great groups that came through there in late 60's and earlier 70s..... at the Red Lion and other venues in town

[@lindarandall4140]

I saw them at Glassboro State College in New Jersey in 19 69 or 70 or 71 dot dot dot the opening act was Elton John exclamation point and as awesome as he was, they brought the house down

[@goldenhealer5645]

Very cool Linda. I am so glad I was born so I could enjoy all of the music back then and see it live. I also think the venues were much smaller and more intimate than today's stages. Just my opinion

[@sandmanbub]

Golden Healer, They didn't charge $16.00 for a single beer then either.

[@mikelisacarb]

Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel

[@debbieedwards711]

I love this Buffalo Springfield song! Great video thanks.

[@timflynn2136]

Paul Cotton, playing red guitar and singing passed away 8/1/2021 RIP

[@MsGroovemom]

Joyous. What a great time.

[@kingofallmediums2123]

Love that song! 😃

[@billmorton7720]

Awesome,amazing live performance. Loved this song when I first heard Buffalo Springfield perform it when I was about 15, 65 now, the years go by too fast !

[@sammyscotch9945]

And the older we get the faster it goes

[@billmorton7720]

@@sammyscotch9945 amen my brother, each year now goes by so fast. you look in the mirror and you are 50 then in the blink of an eye you are in your mid/late 60s. cherish your loved ones and hold them and love them. life is so fragile.

[@david1955layne]

Perhaps after the Beatles the most listen bunch of musicians that had got together. I always dug all their music.

[@greenl2472]

Great freaking tune great performance

[@jonathannieto3111]

Poco es una de mis bandas favoritas de los ' 70. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde la bahia de Tampa, Florida.

[@JimyJak]

How fun! I know it was a long time ago (2021 now), but thanks so much for posting! 😊

[@bengoolie5197]

Great job, guys.

[@JeffMcCalib]

Thanks for all your Poco at the Maverick videos, pocolova. Very cool.

[@99900062]

TBS is a very excellent bass player!!!!!

[@shawncindigabriel]

Hey hugosalarm, did you also know that Richie is also an ordained minister here in colorado too.. Richie and Poco belong in the rock and roll hall of fame...

[@stevieramo]

Absolutely!

[@Ram44]

This is one of my favorite songs to sing and it helps that I can sing in that higher range that Richie does.

[@Merq-ko8di]

Super talented band 🎵🎼🎶

[@andrewmasset8751]

God I miss my 'Younger Days'....hey..great title for a song..! But I do..

[@jojoheartspaypay]

Fall on the floor GREATNESS.

The best ever...Poco...

[@hudentdw2]

Richie's voice is forever imbedded in this Buffalo Springfield pressing forever!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

This is Poco

[@hudentdw2]

I know it is Poco but this is a Buffalo Springfield Song (On The Way Home)Ritchie is singing..!

[@sammyscotch9945]

Poco had/has best singers

[@Marilyn7935]

STILL SO GREAT

[@haltmusic]

BELLISSIMO!!!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Why is everyone in comments talking about BS? Furay was the only 1 in BS. He was in Poco. This is a Poco reunion not BS

[@rondoharding4275]

Love...

[@josecolon9630]

Too this day! Moving!

[@AlHeinzeroth]

1979 saw the final Poco album, and to me, their absolute finest, as even now with all the sources, imesh, iTues, RealPlayer Network, and of course here, it's still a near impossible feat to acquire all those super cuts off the LEGEND Album, white, horse sketch and red eyes. Some soft, mellow tunes, and a couple of very intense driving rock tunes, perfection! I've that vinyl, had 4500+, wives come, albums go! A shame, a .5-.8gr. tracking shibata elipse AT cart. the 200 left are mint. Simi Valley!

[@sammyscotch9945]

Phil Hartman of SNL did the album cover on Legend album

[@FernandoPerez-sv9tp]

grande Richie Furay!!

[@vickilongwell3762]

the best

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Buffalo Sprinfield. Wow!

[@naughtmoses]

Not surprised. The whole Byrds-Buffalo-Loggins-McDonald-Skaggs gang seem to have ranchos in the neighborhood north of the Indian reservation. Not unusual to see them in Los Olivos or Santa Ynez.

[@tom.hoffmann6585]

Very perceptive !

[@MikeKiker]

I hope they film the whole Buffalo Springfield reunion and release a DVD or CD.

[@wannabeaplayer]

This is MY idea of R n R!! :)

[@northernlight4614]

That's Rusty Young on the far left and Paul Cotton on the far right.

[@sammyscotch9945]

Yep both great musicians

[@grtflmark]

This moment captures an unqualified expression of Love from Rusty Young and Jimmy Messina for Richie Furay. Beautiful!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Messina doesnt like Furay. Youre seeing what u want but then most of us do

[@debbieedwards711]

@@lastnamefirst4035 How do you know that?

[@buzzyhardwood2949]

Funny. Jim did “Kind Woman” on the live “Sittin’ in Again” album in 2005. Seems odd that he would have many kind words for Richie in his introduction and then sing a song written by Richie when he is actually performing with Kenny Loggins at that show. I think they buried whatever hatchet existed many years before then It’s called foregiveness and renewal of friendship.

[@shevchukjohn4831]

That is not Thimothy B. Schmidt. That is Paul Cotton.

[@kenpedersen3357]

correct

[@tadeugraciolli2085]

Don’t forget, Rusty Young and Paul Cotton, the driving force behind Poco. I didn’t see Timothy B Schmit there.

Heehee!! I bet Paul does too! He was simply gorgeous back in the day.

Where was Timothy, didn't see him.

[@hiwattdude]

Dang.....Timothy is looking old. Or else I'm getting old.

[@beachbum3432]

Ya, where's Timothy? He must've been playing bass behind the bar.

[@chief1155]

I belong to a pay site (a bargain @ $25/yr) Wolfgangs Vault that has thousands of live recordings from back in the day including several Poco. Shaeffer Music festival from Central Park, NYC 1972. Wolfgang was Billy Graham’s given name and these were his personal property until he died. They have made public.

[@RobertLane78]

Timmy isn't here. It's still an excellent post. The biggest gaff they had was JM choking on the reunion "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" JM screwed up on Live TV. He was lost and it cost them a unch. The recocrd is one of my fav's.

[@jimcardwell6907]

Jack Sundrud on bass.

to sokkmut who wrote here years ago, how about roger mcguinn joining these folks and maybe chris hillman. call em the survivors.

Where is Timothy B. Schmit?

[@jpraustin]

that's Rusty Young...not Timothy

[@edhalfen7380]

Agreed re: No Timothy B. Schmidt--thought maybe my eyes were worse than they are. Also I used to think of a pedal steel when I thought of Rusty Young. Any suggestions on some of that?

[@mayanlongcount1]

+Ed Halfen not interested in tim schmidt. but rusty young played one of the best shows i ever saw. uofi. long ago.

[@jimcardwell6907]

"Call It Love" 1989, Rusty on guitar and lead vocal. A great tune. And, no Tim.
