A favorite band of mine for many years has been Poco. They have gone through many changes and still tour!

This is the second version I believe without Jim Messina on November 22, 1972 at the Milwaukee Auditorium. Here are Richie Furay, Timothy B. Schmidt, Paul Cotton, Geaorge Grantham and my personal favorite, Rusty Young on pedal steel.

This show was almost 47 years ago! Now I feel old.

I put the guys on my website long ago but here are some freshly edited photos.

Enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanks,

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day and wonderful weekend!

This week's blog takes a look at the band Poco. In 1972, they were in Milwaukee and played at my favorite venue, The Performing Arts Center.

Poco, in 1972 was a great band with Richie Fury,  Timothy B Schmidt and Rusty Young playing his pedal steel guitar.  To me, he was the rock of the band because of my love of the pedal steel.

Jim Messina had just left the band and that was a giant missing piece but it was still an amazing band.

Timothy B Schmidt went on to play with The Eagles shortly after this show and Richie Fury also left the band.

Enjoy a look back at some great musicians and their most interesting logo on the drum set.

Have a great week.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
