R.I.P. Rusty and Paul. We Poco fans really miss you, and will never forget you!

[@bobbennert1132]

Any band with Paul Cotton and Rusty Young playing guitars is pretty damn good.

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

So sad to read today about the deaths of both Paul Cotton and Rusty Young in 2021. I'm just blown away. Saw "Poco" as a teen in the 1973 plus or minus one year. (Still in my vinyl collection those I bought back then, pre 1980 good pressings.) It was at University of New Hampshire. Ill need to see who else in the band we've lost. RIP Rusty - Paul, Thank You. You'll live on on You Tube. We can be grateful for that.

[@williamrichards3707]

Saw them in the Fall of 1971 at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh ,PA. That December 7 th, the 30th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. This band Never got it's due. So, So Sad as I personally think that the Writing and the Music was Top Shelf! RIP guys...

Yes indeed I knew Paul was sick and was sittin in when he could. I also saw the guys in70s. It was at Va Tech, Blacksburg. Helluva venue. Also saw Bruce there right after "Greetings fm Asbury Pk" But Rusty?? He seemed so youg and full of life. But nonne of us lasts forever. Huh? My wife has taken off fr theChes Bay for the year. wont see her for the resto of the year. Im Lonely s hell, so thisgroup oof tunes helps. Rusty looks odd, out front. But I cant get used to Poco without Tim B. Schmit and Richie. Rusty makes it look so doggone easy. AND IT AINT!

[@rockinrobb4350]

One of the finest groups to ever come along! I've been a fan since i first heard 'Pickin Up the Pieces' back in 69' One of the most underrated groups ever! Poco is like a Rocky always coming back for more, they just didn't achieve the stardom they richly deserved! I finally got to see them in Houston in 79' and they blew us away doing the Legend LP!! Many have come and gone in the group, we know who they are, but i have to say, to me, it was always Paul Cotton and Rusty Young who held steadfast to Poco, they were Poco!. I was so sad to hear of their passing in 2021 and so close together, It was unreal! . All true Poco fans like myself who know their history, their songs and their journey, know their will never be a Poco with their passing and its a crying shame the HOL never inducted them, it's their loss! We fans know they will always have a place in our hearts!! RIP Paul and Rusty! Long Live The Legend That Is Poco!!

[@AnthonyStJames]

For two groups that were quite similar in genre & talent, it was amazing how the Eagles caught on commercially but Poco didn't really have a bona fide radio hit til Crazy Love & Heart of the Night ('79).

Excellent-and a pleasant surprise to see this. Rusty is fantastic as ever here, but Paul's performance stands out to me. He sounds great-voice and guitar. Excellent vocals on "Days Gone By." Rusty and Paul are in top form on "Magnolia."

[@JeffMcCalib]

Rusty's vocal on Rough Edges is as good as I've heard by him.

[@timb.2222]

@@JeffMcCalib It's excellent, for sure. And he's not bad with a little Japanese at the start of the video. As much as I hated seeing the bassists leave for to the Eagles, it forced Rusty to step out front more as a vocalist. That ended up being good for Poco--and for Poco fans. So many of their great songs (and not just the singles) feature him on lead vocals. "Rough Edges" here is a good example.

[@nmurphy72]

Thank you for this treasure. I only just discovered Poco and I am obsessed! I cannot believe I've gone my whole life without knowing these musicians and this incredible and extraordinary music. Thank you !

I was there too. Thanks for the heads-up on other songs not on this video at YT. I found the video with What Do People Know and Crazy Love. Besides the former, Young's Who Else on Legacy is also very good. Randy Meisner sings it on the album, but he also wrote Rough Edges on Legacy.

My favorite celebrity encounter happened on April 4, 1983, when Poco played Portland, Oregon's Euphoria Tavern. Shortly before the show was to start, I headed to the men's room to get rid of a beer. I ended up at a urinal next to singer/songwriter/guitarist Rusty Young, and got to thank him for his brilliant pedal steel guitar on Poco's cover of Steely Dan's first single "Dallas." He had a good laugh when I told him I bought the 1976 album "Head Over Heels" just so I could play "Dallas" whenever I wanted. R.I.P. Rusty and Paul.

Saw Poco many times back in the day, particularity the earlier versions. Anybody else here see them at the Woolman(?) Skating Rink in Central Park long ago? They played with NJ country favs of the day, Kinderhook Creek that I saw bar-band-wise dozens of times. Great, great show.

[@michaelsanphy6391]

Yes !!! I saw them a couple of times at the Wollman Rink. They were one of my favorite bands that played there. It was the Dr. Pepper Music Festival. It was a whole different world back then. I wish that I could time travel back to see some of those great shows again. Thanks for the memories !!!

[@michaelsanphy6391]

ps:. A special thank you to Mr. Ron Delsener, who promoted all those great shows, including Poco, at both the Dr. Pepper and Schaefer Music Festivals. I hope that Mr. Delsener could release some of his concerts from the Wollman Rink on DVD. Maybe a box set or two. I would definitely buy it.

[@jurxta1615]

I have always had a soft spot for all Poco's albums, especially starting from Legend. Had some sadness that there was some kind of decline on albums after Under The Gun. Don't know what it was, but there was always some brilliant songs on later albums too, but something happened. Was it a burn out or somethin else, bad record deals or something else. R:I.P. Rusty and Paul. Rusty's on FIRE during Boomerang!!!

No finer pedal steel player than Rusty Young. First time I saw Poco was at the Santa Monica Civic back in '72, where Rusty laid on his back and played the pedal steel upside-down above him. Gosh, I sure miss him. The last time I saw Poco was at the Golden Nugget in Vegas. After the show I got to chat with Rusty and the boys and had them autograph their live album recorded at Big Sky Montana, great album with many new songs and, of course, the Rabbit Joke following an excellent rendition of On The Way Home. I miss Timothy B. Schmidt playing bass. Oh well, poco's loss is The Eagles' gain. All the best, Douglas W. Motley, Crestline, CA.

[@Cap683]

I saw Poco in the late 1970s with Young and Cotton and I believe the bassist and drummer were England. They had released Legend which got more attention that most of their other albums. I think one of the problems was that the sun was setting on the the seventies country rock scene and that the ship had already sailed that type of music. Still, I had been a fan during their various personal changes but the stars were never aligned for Poco as far as really making a breakthrough.
