When I saw they would be playing the Wildey, I made plans, and was on line and ready when the tickets went on sale. As such, we were in the 2nd row. sweet! I'm sure I've mentioned before, the Wildey is probably my all time favorite venue, something like 330 seats in a theater originally opened in 1909 and renovated and reopened in 2011.
Poco has been around since 1969, and has associations with many of the key acts of the time. They've had a few lineup changes, with members coming from, or going to, acts such as Buffalo Springfield (2), Eagles (2), Loggins and Messina, Souther-Hillman-Furay.... and pretty impressive set of associations. Through it all, Rusty Young has been the constant. A founding member, and the only member to be in every incarnation of the band. A talented multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and 2013 inductee to the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame.
On to the concert:
The band played a solid set, with a good representation of the breadth of Poco's catalog. Three songs from the 60's, Seven from the 70's, one from the 80's, and six from the 2010's. Including 2 songs from Rusty Young's 2019 solo album. The newer songs blended well with the classics, and it was a superb show overall. I'll be keeping an eye out for their next time through town, will try and see them again!.
Here's a few quick shots from my iPhone:
