Poco - Rose Of Cimarron // Live Version

[@PeppieP]

One of my best childhood memories - watching my Mammie and Daddy dancing with each other and singing to this song, in our kitchen. It was lovely to watch and hear. Brilliant and definitely under rated band. Thanks x

[@hoborock007]

POCO ..Saw them 1975? College gymnasium sitting on a hardwood floor in Elkins West Virginia.. $3 a ticket.. It was a memorable night ..so long ago, but many a vivid image remain.. the sights, the sounds, the stage, my friends, pot smoke in the air ..cops looking the other way. Yeah man, Groovy

[@DrJohn493]

Poco is always on my road trip play list to Colorado. They make the miles pass by in 2023 like I'm still the '70s. And that ain't a bad thing!

[@garychait3353]

I'll second that; POCO was popular on east coast. They paved the way for many country rock bands.

[@MartinCapron]

My wife and I used to sit in lawn chairs in the Cimmarron under the Hwy 23 bridge back in the 80’s when it still flowed good and had soft shell turtles and zebra minnows and such. Makes me sad to cross that span now…. A great tribute to a long gone, beautiful place.😢

[@mike-in-fla4717]

Criminally underrated band. Poco was an amazing collection of musical genius.

[@michaelcavazuti3270]

Yes great band!

[@ppmppm7010]

Don't know anyone that underrated them

[@michaelcavazuti3270]

@@ppmppm7010 True!

[@chuckharrel8272]

They were never underrated! People, stop using those terms toward founding American bands. The eagles were blessed with the talents of Meisner and Schmitt from the very same crew. America and Poco did tours together in the 70s and no one from that period would have ever labeled Poco underrated!

[@michaelcavazuti3270]

@@chuckharrel8272 The guy was only using that metaphor to say how good they are!! How do you know all people stop using "those terms" about American bands? Although I feel differently ur generalizing!

Sadly Randy Meisner passed away July 26, 2023 at age of 77. Also a member of Poco & The Eagles RIP Randy ❤❤❤

Yeah but that's Timothy B Schmit on bass and vocals here. When was this recorded?

[@mordechaijones4669]

One of the finest songs ever written. Thanks for this.

[@andyinoregon]

My favorite celebrity encounter came on April 4, 1983 at Portland, Oregon's Euphoria Tavern men's room, when Poco guitarist Rusty Young was standing next to me at the urinals and I got to thank him for his pedal steel guitar playing on their 1975 cover of Steely Dan's 1972 single release "Dallas." He laughed when I told him I bought the album "Head Over Heels" just so I could play that song anytime I wanted.

[@janefriel6895]

One of my biggest most profound gifts i have been given is having grown up with this music and all that of my time.Thank you.

[@pattyandersen5516]

Me too. And to see them in concert was great. The Ohio State University campus featured so many great bands. Some just beginning. Saw Boston a month before they hit it big at the Aurora Basr. O😊

[@halklein736]

The Eagles were the opening act for Poco when I first saw them in the 70’s

[@johnroche7541]

Timothy would replace Randy first in Poco and the Eagles!

[@cheguevara1691]

Oddly, I saw them in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 80's. They were the "warm up" band for "Little River Band". They blew the venue away.....including LRB....as they noted several times.

When we were in our teens to 30s, saw them with Jim Messina, then Paul; always Tim, Richie, Rusty, George. Man, I mean NOBODY was better live. Great, fun shows. One was in Central Park when they played with Kinderhook (Creek), my fave country rock band here in NJ, back in the day. Saw those guys dozens of times. Excellent band!

I never though Timmy would play that bass with Poco again! That was a great version. I do miss George Grantham's high harmonies but Jesse Furay Lynch did a great job picking up the slack!

Enjoyed a few years of seeing Paul live at The Schooner Wharf in KW several times. Once I bumped into him at Hog's Breath and chatted for awhile. I told him my brother was a great fan of Poco too. Paul said call him, so I did and he chatted with my brother for a few minutes up in Michigan. I very nice man and a great musician. RIP Mr. Cotton.

Lo que escribís hace un año fue lo que leía en los tiempos que la información aca en Argentina, eran muy difícil de saber de artistas como Poco, o de género en general de la música Country. Asi también como las historia del ROCK AND ROLL. Los argentinos no todos tuvimos el placer de poder ir a los Estados Unidos. Pero lo que amamos esta música sabemos menos que los seguramente personas que viven en EEUU, saben más para mi es una buena reflexión de los qué comentaron gracias por sus aportes y comentarios y siempre el saber no ocupa lugar en mi vida gracias y amó mucho el Country.....❤👌👏
