Poco - Keep on Tryin' (1975)

Poco with Timothy B. Schmit.

[@stevenfarber123]

God is this a great song or what? Timothy Schmidt is just unreal. One of the best voices ever.

[@swinetrek]

That's how you harmonise, folks. No BS auto tune, studio touch ups. Learn your craft and one day you might be this good. Real talent here.

[@1939rb75]

No digital nothing. Nada. No wireless. No in-ears. Just harmony singing. (I thought it was pitched up too, at first, then realized they and their voices were just that young and that good.) So glad this exists, as low quality as it is.

[@jeacaklotom]

I thought the same thing.. pitch seemed high, then I thought that IS what they sounded like at that time.

[@benkleschinsky]

When tape ages the pitch is raised. It is a little raised but not by much.

[@benkleschinsky]

Also this is the lip syncing to the studio version. Not a live performance.

[@anitaneuburger9541]

They were always underrated. Great band. Love TBS. ❤️

[@avengernemesis7990]

Stupendous...just perfect... Nothing more to say. Australia

[@Dthunderchicken]

I saw Poco perform an acoustic set that included this song in about `75. Just the one guitar and their vocals. The set lasted about half an hour. It was pure magic. I've never failed to enjoy a Poco concert.

[@JenniferArbach49]

I saw Poco live in northern NJ about 1975-1976. Awesome band with a timeless sound. Glad to have found them here so I can relieve those memories of growing up in the 70's!

[@evagarcia1606]

That's real nice beautiful song with Timothy. God's blessings for ever 👍 💘

[@StevieReidEFC]

I dont know shit about BONES, but I remember going to see these guys play as as support act to America in '75. America were crap. Poco came on stage and sang this song almost accapella (just an acoustic guitar accompianment) and it was mind-blowing. Thanks for the posting - brings back great memories. Nice one.

[@pengqueen24]

I love Timothy B. Schmit!

[@danip3987]

Written by Timothy. According to Felder's book, Timothy had recorded himself 6 times at home to create his own harmony for the song. Everyone loved it so it ended up being performed by Poco. One of my favorites.

[@donnaarnold3044]

Me Too !! 💙💙💙

[@tampikosita]

Timothy very young and hansome his hair

[@briangrewe5147]

Best harmonizing group ever. Listen to Paul & George back up tim

[@theshadowxoxo]

I love Timothy's voice. He sings like an angel. I hope his health improves

[@KarenHlly]

Man, wish there was a better copy of this. I saw Timothy sing this on his first tour as an Eagle in 1978. One of my all-time favorite songs, period.

[@jag136]

I saw the boys sing this song in Frankfurt, West Germany in 1975. Sounds so good. I still know every word.

[@LHcountryboy1]

Ya know you've got it all together in the groove, when ya can make music sound so laid-back and easy, ya can perform with your thumbs in yo' belt. Love Poco!!

[@user-kj9nv1ti8f]

なんて美しいハーモニーなんでしょう😭甘く美しく透き通った歌声💐私はこれまでずっとそしてこれからもあなた方のことが大好きです💖 素晴らしい70年代の音楽､本当にありがとう✨😭 共有してくださりありがとうございます💐

[@margieclark9498]

beautiful harmony-there's no one better.

[@nutleyguitar1968]

In 1970, Timothy B. Schmit joined Poco, replacing founding member Randy Meisner on bass and vocals. He wrote and was lead singer on the song "Keep On Tryin'," Poco's biggest hit single to that point, peaking at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. Apart from Poco, Schmit also contributed vocals to Firefall's 1977 hit, "Just Remember I Love You."

[@petesacco3255]

He also toured Jimmy Buffett and replace David Crosby because of Crosby's drug problem on one of their albums but was not credited

[@IhateUallman]

This is HOW Music was back in the Day REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JoeFielding72]

My mom heard this on bones and hear we are. This song rocks. Thank God for bones. Lead us to a killer song. God bless this band and there families.

[@bilbo2shire]

Wow, 13 years ago. I've heard this song on Bones before and recalled it from my Middle Seventy Days. My favorite Groups had me an Outcast because I'm African America and I really enjoyed me some Gallery, Edward Bare, America and even that one big song in 1976 Afternoon Delight! Guys on the Track Team used to refuse to ride with me, they told Coach Means be listening to weird music. GOD BLESS!!!!

[@tahneedavies1598]

This is my get back up and keep moving song. Helps me relax and i always listen to it when im feeling down. It truly is a great musical piece :)

[@mikeblanchette637]

One of the most beautiful harmonys ever.

[@goboats]

fuck bones ... we be from the 70s and my girlfriend from 78 brought me here to this fine music that I just cant do without ..like her love

[@affyo]

thanks for posting this....awesome song......warmly......

[@ecclestonsangel]

I did NOT know Timothy B Schmidt was in Poco! Amaze-balls! The Eagles must have thanked their lucky stars to snag him! I miss Glenn so much! He and Don created the Eagles, and it's just not the same without Glenn. You are sorely missed, my man. I know everyone else in the band misses you too. My favourite Timothy song from the Eagles was I Can't Tell You Why. Still brings a tear to my eye after all these years.

[@52arcoiris]

Awesome! Love the incredible harmony - Timothy B, Randy, and Jim! 1975...life was good, and harmony was the sound of our magical generation!

[@petesacco3255]

That is Paul cotton and George Grantham not Randy Meisner and Jimmy Messina...learn your poco

[@CaptDan-zk4tt]

Shivers up my spine!

[@christopheruz64]

beautiful song, thanks to bones

[@ChinoChung]

[@hhhp4u2luv]

[@celiadelacruz8704]

❤❤❤ love the song

[@0101babyjohn]

[@bilbo2shire]

[@Little-Dude]

I heard this song on Bones & I really liked it. Had to find it. Cool song.

[@MihirJoshi15]

Incredible to see how many people are here thanks to Bones :)

[@Topkat311]

Boy.... does this ever put today's music to shame. Most pop singers can't even sing live & when you go to their concerts, they Lip Sync & charge a fortune for the tickets so they can have a big production number with smoke, techno & dancing. Maybe they think the smoke covers the fact that they aren't really singing?

[@ptitcoquillage8581]

Woaw ! Pure émotion que de ré-écouter ce tube qui a bercé mes 17 ans ! J'en ai des frissons... Mucho gracias POCO !!!

[@skayray2001]

GREAT SONG & VOICES!!! I saw it on Bones, too.

[@nancycox7061]

My dad sang this song to me, when I was a kid.

[@darleenh1001]

Beautiful harmonies, love this old tune

[@ArkRed1]

Now I see where the Eagles got their inspiration.

[@lovechaela6146]

bones brought me here

[@doctorwhofangallifreyan9417]

haahahah me too

+Ivan P.M. "The killer in the concrete"

[@harrygray7463]

Me too. April 2021. Bit late to the party!

[@peopleinsorrow]

"Head Over Heals" is a great album. Every single song in it is a gem. Thanks for posting this video.

[@TheHarshguy]

Listen the harmony!!!!! Brilliant Stuff!

[@Brdstfff]

Thanks SO much for this. Timothy is as amazing today as he was then. I saw The Eagles in May; absolutely stunning! But Timothy was sick and they had to cancel a few concerts after that. We were lucky our concert wasn't cancelled; we'd travelled a long way to see them. They were well worth the trip! Every note of the 3 HOUR concert was spot-on PERFECT!

[@madscientist5189]

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSS the quality is WAAAY better than the other one posted a couple of years ago.

[@cablonde320]

Love this song...heard it on Bones, too..they have some great music on there...

[@NovakBenson]

At least its getting popular! It's a great song (:

[@petesacco3255]

I've seen them no less than four times one of my favorites was when they toured with Stills and Young and they crushed Stills and Young

[@theresaluchsinger4488]

Gosh Darn Guys, You were the Best!

[@cielo27rah]

beautiful harmonies thanks for this - an old favorite

[@MusicLover-jy8bu]

Wonderful song and Band! Timothy is like a beautiful dream.

[@goodtogonow3]

This is so cool. It brings me back to what I was doing in 1975 and who i was doing it with. Oh, for my youth

[@TheVoldemort5]

Love this song ;)

[@gossamerwings3632]

I like this version, thanks.

[@TravelingforLove]

i saw it on bones too, and then i kept listening to it, and my dad walked by and started singing to it, i was like, oh did you see it on bones too, and he was like no, i used to play this for you when you were little, it kept me going for you. I cried

[@Pancio_86]

God bless the BONES, Poco is really great :D

[@OJOore]

The Trying Song❤️❤️

[@ajtony21]

thumbs up if you hear this song on Bones!!!!!

[@danelsons]

wow time worp. cold beer. pocket rocket and my high school sweet heart. GOOD TIMES. BETTER DAYS! puters are great, youtube rocks.

[@thechevyscrounger]

i remember this song ,summer of 1975 ,i moved to this 2 traffic light town on lake occechobee ,where the ratio of girls to guys were about 4 to 1 ,all the guys got the hell out ,the pickings were nice ,used to go to the local pizza shop every night after work and drink pitchers ,and listen to this song on the juke box, no money ,no resposibility ,life was good

[@hatch381]

Yep...Poco...I had forgotten about them and happened to run across your vid while hunting for some Loggins and Messina. Thanks for posting.

[@Horemheb442]

No kidding. I love Poco and had forgotten this song. Gonna see if I can get my band to learn it. We do little pieces of acapella in other songs. The one guitar and vocals would be something a little different for us. Thanks Bones.

heard it on bones too and immediately download it........ very beautiful song

[@katelynrose5574]

Timothy sings like an angel. I heard recently he had cancer. Praying for you Timothy!

[@DEEWALROND]

Still one of my favourite songs

[@kinko920]

[@Masterman587]

My friend reminded me of this song. Awesome.

[@ronsnrsandbox]

Don't know Bones, (no use for a tv in colorado) but thank you producer, writer or whoever brought this incredibly awesome song back to life. The harmony is disabling! I've seen Poco over 20 times in the last 35 years and will be seeing them again June 11 at the Louisville Street Faire FOR FREE

[@SyaoranLiClow]

That's the way the cockie crambles. I hear it on BONES too.

[@Iaido47]

Guitar and three part harmony, doesn't get any better than this. Nobody performs like this any more. If you are not familiar with Poco, you are truly missing some great music.

[@joaoeduardobueno379]

the nightingales of america!

[@classicrock1956]

I have not heard this song in years. Glad Bones said the name of the song and Booth told the name of the band. A great song, a great band and a great t.v. show. Gotta go learn how to play it now.

[@BAleeB]
