[@daltongang23]

I was sooooooo sad with Timothy left Poco and went to the Eagles but learned to love him there too. But the music that Poco made was the best as far as I'm concerned. I used to go to concerts where they were warming up just to hear them. Went to a Willie Nelson concert once to hear Poco warm up and then left -- that's how much I loved them!!!! Such talent and such wonderful music.

[@colinlarkin5843]

Sadly I never forgave him for jumping ship 😢

[@morgan72359]

​@@colinlarkin5843I get what you're saying. But Timothy has talked about how amazing it was to be in a band whose new album could debut at #3. And the pay raise must have been decent. 🙂 That said - In his time with Poco and now in his solo work, Timothy looks relaxed, and like he remembers how much he loves the life he has chosen. I usually don't get that from watching him sing with Eagles. Just an observation.

[@colinlarkin5843]

I guess we all would think twice about turning down a shedload of money and guaranteed chart success - but I still think those many songs he wrote with Poco were his best by a mile.@@morgan72359

[@regionalunityproductions6204]

And you missed WILLIE! I'll bet you're kicking yourself now! Lolol. I would. I agree Poco has their own familiar essence far removed from the Eagles who are as deserving.

[@jennikapostasy4088]

I’m with you all. I love him, his voice, his songs, his hair! I hope he’s doing well!!! I had a great moment in the 70’s or was it 80’s when the Eagles sang at the old Browns stadium. My husband and i were walking by the fence at the site of rock n roll hall of fame construction site when this white van pulled up and out walked timothy b schmit and don henley. I KNOW timothy pointed right at me and winked. Great memory!!!

[@morgan72359]

There are lots of pictures of him taken over the years pointing at someone. It seems to be his thing, or one of his things. He tosses the attention to someone else, and I find it endearing. 😊

It is excellent. I remember Todd, went to a concert in Tallahassee in 1978 . Was a poor college student with a mortgage to my father for a cottage five properties down from a white sandy beach. It was the bay, but was perfect just the same.

Great song..Poco was a awesome band.

It's fun watching these rock stars concentrate so hard on getting their vocals right for this delicate song. Love it.

[@ElizaBeth-fh6wy]

Timothy B Schmit at his very best. My most very favorite of this, one of his great hit songs😊

[@MsHatesHaters]

Tim Schmidt has the most beautiful of all male rock singers' voices

[@artgabrielalejo1218]

very very true

[@wheelinthesky300]

One has to think, had The Eagles continued beyond they're 1980 breakup, Tim would have been a major contributor to their continued success. His voice is just too good, and though not as prolific as Frey and Henley, Tim's writing ability in collaboration and influenced by the rest of the band, means we may have missed out on some big hits.

[@lesheathjr4494]

You should check out Warren Haynes

[@jimrauh3584]

@@lesheathjr4494 This is an apples to oranges comparison; Haynes is soulful and gritty while Schmit and those like him are in a higher, sweeter range.

[@isabstmr]

Damn, he was gorgeous (still is) and what a beautiful voice!

[@danip3270]

Timothy wrote this song. According to the story, he recorded his voice 5?6? times to make his own harmony, and Poco loved it so much it went right onto the album. He didn't need anyone to make such a gorgeous harmony.

[@karlakellepourey9949]

Timothy is the best. His voice makes me want to cry! I'll keep on trying.

[@midnightflyer7510]

I well up every time I hear this song. Love Tim Schmidt! My favorite member of Poco and Eagles!

[@wayneo1269]

The Eagles should do this song with Timmy up front playing the acoustic like he is here it would really go over with the fans.

[@Countrymusicman1982]

You know, I think you're absolutely right! They totally need to do this song!

[@wayneo1269]

[@s.greasey7654]

[@michaelrobinson516]

I don't think Don would care. They did it a few times in the 70's.

[@ryanqkfcman]

They performed this song a few times in 1978 and 1980. The 1980 shows were the three nights at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and the final concert at Long Beach in July of 1980. Part of The Long Run tour and special concerts labeled “Thank You Los Angeles” which featured 21 or 22 songs other then 15 - 17 that the normal setlist provided.

How is it that Timothy B. Schmit, Todd Rundgren & Joe Walsh find themselves performing with so many other great musicians? Because their bad ass' that's why!

I saw this Ringo All Starr Band tour and this song was definitely a highlight! Tim sounds so good and all the other guys back him up beautifully. Todd Rundgren, Nils Lofgren, Burton Cummings, Nils Lofgren, Dave Edmunds etc.

[@morgan72359]

Joe Walsh, too. Joe can bring a wacky element to the any stage.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Funny how everybody seems to have a soft spot in their heart whether it's a guilty pleasure or just something they like for Poco all these years.

[@gusmercado6704]

For all you asking why the Eagles didn't perform this song with Timothy back in the day, well they did. There is one time I know of, and it was just before they broke up and the infamous Long Night at Wrong Beach. There is audio of it here on KZbin, go look it up. There's a chance they performed it other times, but I'm not positive if they did other than that one night in 1980.

Shame Timothy didn't have the same success level that Frey & Henley had, he's a tremendous talent, that voice could melt steel.

[@wheelinthesky300]

On the other hand, Tim gave The Eagles the extra dimension they needed. He was a revelation on The Long Run with "I Can't Tell You Why", and contributed the best post-reunion Eagles tune "Love Will Keep Us Alive".

What memories, this Poco album Head Over Heals came out the summer before my senior year in high school. Of course I had the 8 track and played it all the time. This has always been one of my favorite songs on the album with backing vocals by Paul Cotton, George Grantham and Rusty Young but I have to say this is a better version with the All Star lineup as backing vocals.
