Poco - Keep on Tryin' (1975)

[rberryllefz]

Mr.Brennan sing better. hahah :DD

[JiaXin307]

i love bones and season 7 has came out and brennan has a baby on the ep prisonner in the pipe but it hasnt came out yet but i read about cant WAIT!!!!!

[annikastarr]

ooohs for bucks.

[yashpaulsongu]

i love how booth and bones sing this song and this songu may be old but it is nice:)

[MrNevadared]

I agree I own both album and cd and I love album more, Poco was a great band and I enjoyed them at least 4-5 times before T

im went to the Eagles

[gol7on4]

I bought this album over 30 years ago and I'm glad I took good care of all my albums.It still sounds pretty good.I have the CD,but they took out a lot of the warmth and it doesn't seems to be missing the upper end of the frequency.My sub woofer helps out with the bass.

Since I play both my turntable and CD player through the same speakers....I'm shocked at the difference in sound.

Change(in this instance) is NOT good.

Try it yourself and I think you'll agree.

[eutambemtomocafe]

Tenho 16 anos, sou Brasileira e amo essa música!

[lddayton]

To my friend Gar-li...miss you...keep on trying....k

[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.

[sport6779]

bones... lol

[ohprimooh]

@inatizzy2 I am totally with you! I am also 53 and finding these Videos, like from Stagecoach 2009!!? OMG I am so happy to hear POCO from whenever. And all you haters, go somewheres else... !!! :-)

[Topkat311]

Go check out Timothy B Schmit singing lead vocals with the Beach Boys on Caroline No, I think done in the late 90's in a tribute to Carl Wilson. Tim's voice is unbelievable!

[unplugthis1]

1 guitar and three part harmony! Audio Heaven!

[BarneyFrankCarswell]

This song was playing on "Bones," and I realized it was annoying the crap out of me, so I wanted to find out who did this.

[junainashamdeen1]

does it say VH-1 on the right top corner

anyways love this song!!

[peopleinsorrow]

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

[ThePodpie]

poco, other guys in the butt is more like it.

[willow441000]

I haven't heard this song in years. What a great tune. Reminds me of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Are these guys still playing. Would love to see them.

[reeltrouble]

Saw them live at the Bottom Line in NYC around this time, what a show!

Thank's for this clip.

[thecoolestdad]

Well ain't this something? I never knew that Timothy B. Schmit was a member of Poco.I laways liked the song Crazy Love.let me find it now.

[SulaMannen]

@thecoolestdad Poco seems to have a history with The Eagles. Randy Meisner was a Poco member before he went on to play with The Eagles, so Poco brought in Timothy B. Schmit to replace him. in -78 Randy Meisner quit The Eagles, and T. B. S. joined them. And the last and final twist is that Randy Meisner actually went back to play for Poco.. Clear enough? :)

[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!!

[breakinnet]

I also heard this song on a re-run of Bones toaday it woke me up from a nap...and I was too taken by this song...nice lyrics.

[cambiarmivida]

Not the greatest band in the world, but so dear to me since those days...

[signorgelato]

Oh Thank you!!! Poco in their prime, it takes me back. Love Timmy. I never saw this clip before, what an absolute treat.

[mikilanovich]

I have never seen a bones episode in my life.

I started singing to myself, You got to keep on trying and I threw it in google.

the songs ok

[BILLYRAYJIMBO]

I saw the same four guys singing this song in the mid 70s, but I'm pretty sure Timmy was playing the guitar that night. Great song Tim. (It was four part harmony that night.) Back then, we didn't know what a good voice Rusty had.

[born195050]

Did you ever notice how much classic rock like this song is used in modern movies and TV shows?I've loved Poco since the early 70's and this ones my favorite even though it's not the original lineup.

[pollywiggles1]

Saw them in concert .. heard this live.. nothing like it since!! Love these guys !! Nobody does it better.. way ahead of their time!

[EmmaTheDork]

[kiddigodfrey]

I for one didnt see this at Bones, I listen to Eagles and seeing that Timothy is the bassist for them, then ofc I know this song. ;)

[jw71845]

Watching it on bones!!!! I love Brennen and Booth!

[rg2027x]

[skayray2001]

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

[skayray2001]

GREAT SONG & VOICES!!!

[setenteromusic]

GREAT VOICES.

EXCELLENT SONG!!

[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

[laura43862]

I saw it in Bones too and i thoug so cute Booth and Bones singin this song that i came here to find the music ! hahahah

[jessewalla]

@laura43862 yep me too, love that show, I tell ya, the Eagles stole all these guys nearly, eventually, I assumed this was an Eagles song until the Bones episode.

[leeleebaby2100]

Harmony . . .

[cassiemae74]

i completely forgot about this song til i heard it on bones..still an excellent song

[chicagotransam]

Look for the cover... it's even more amazing than the original

[housegal49]

They were awesome! The negative was that Leon Redbone opened for them and was drinking beer and smoking cigs while performing. The audience didn't think that was fair. Such good memories!

[housegal49]

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!

[SuperThesucker]

@housegal49 you watched them play ??? nice where they good live?

[Mitro17albo]

Emily Deschannel singing this song has a powerful influence

[Masterman587]

My friend reminded me of this song. Awesome.

[ajtony21]

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

[MilaDjokic]

I just watched an episode from Bones with this song and I had to hear this song again...

[nelenceBRE]

@MilaDjokic me too mila ;)

[Jgangsta94]

I also saw it on Bones, theres few things in life that feel as good as a classic acoustic song=]

[Jgangsta94]

I also saw it on Bones, theres few things in life that feel as good as a classic acoustic song=]

[music4shilps]

I saw this song on Bones too and love it !!

[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.

[killerm12]

yep,Bones too :)

[geldhundt]

Who says TV is good for nothing. Many people discovered this calssic song thanks to the Bones episode.

[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."

[jrmrinaz]

@nutleyguitar1968 and some more trivia for you ---Timothy also replaced Randy Meisner AGAIN when he joined the Eagles--- the only time that's happened in rock and roll???--some good trivia,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[tenatioustigress]

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

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

Timothy was the originator of The New Breed--who did the song Green Eyed Lady...another great classic from the 60's :)

[alicejulie1]

i love this song, i love the lyric, melody and the voices, it´s perfect!!:)

[Crowsfan55]

@alicejulie1 they opened with this when I saw them in 75...met my future wife at that concert...play this to this day (though I can sing as sweet as Timmy B)....

[alicejulie1]

@Crowsfan55 :)

[Schenkermeine]

Beautiful!

[SyaoranLiClow]

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

[scollumbell]

BONES!!! FTW!!!!

[LayconBG]

Bones FTW :)

[hotshotdanny]

my wife and i heard this song on bones and we follow the series so we understood the use of this song on bones because of the tough times bones and her dad have had thru the years. I had never heard this song and i was hooked so i went to the computer and had to listen to it over and over. Then i had to get out my guitar and add this to my songs. Awsomeeeeee Song.

[jm4636]

I heard it myself on Bones and I was instantly taken by this song.

[mccoobs]

@jm4636 I feel cheated that I didn't remember this song ( let alone the group ) till the Bones episode. Dl'd it that night though!

[inatizzy2]

@mccoobs I have Always listened to POCO. Oh man, so many memories so much fun. STILL listen to them and Im 53 yrs old. Guess I was always the weird kid in school. ANS??? SO??? LOL Still am still happy.

[iloveyou1smile]

@jm4636 sammee.. i heard it and i watched that episode so many times just because i liked the song..

[chesneygirl8762]

@jm4636 Me too!!

[aakashsethi]

same here buddy .. heard it on bones.. gr8 song cheers

[joacoquino]

aguante timothy b schmit

[puppydog1245]

I also first heard this song on Bones. A couple of months ago and it was just on again this week... awesome words and awesome harmony...

[Fugly58]

Bufo Americano split into two bands in the late 60's.

One band became CSN.

The other became Poco.

Poco went through many members, but seemed to hold up their end of things.

Leaders came and went.

I tied my reins to Poco and then went awry.

What this has to do with bones is beyond me.

[wildfireintexas]

i miss the 70's, the music anyway. never knew timothy b. schmidt was with poco, hated him with the eagles.

[Breeze208]

I remember it from the 70's but just watched Bones and heard it (for about the third time) there. lol great song!

[cielo27rah]

beautiful harmonies

thanks for this - an old favorite

[Mjoninhax]

Bones is the best serie ever!!!! and this song is amazing

[Jacobrester]

King of the Lab !!

[TasXa96]

One of my fav songs.

Heard it on Bones of course. :D

[52arcoiris]

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

[lucasoswaldo]

bones XD

[lucasoswaldo]

bones XD

[ThehighskiesofTiago]

BONES!! XD



[clubeauto]

whatched it on bones too :)

[TheHarshguy]

Listen the harmony!!!!! Brilliant Stuff!

[Radetzkystrasse12]

great song!!!

[Sauriz]

haha, so funny, we all heard it on bones, they've had some good tunes. and this is one of the best. the music came up, and the decades just faded away. gets me all misty and...

[Crowsfan55]

they opened with this when I saw them in '76...Frampton was the opening act before he went nucleur...POCO and Peter killed that night...god bless George G and hope he is doing okay...

[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.

[witchman1]

@Iaido47 You said it, these days its PC samples and auto-tune.

[kd5icr1967]

@Iaido47 But did you forget about Crosby,Stills and Nash? But other than that you are dead on.

[Arsenick]

yeah me too heard it from bones.. and i start to hear it all e time

[Franjcam]

No doubt I have to get that vinyl back from my daughter.

[dreamwatcher10]

lol, i did the same thing. i had to really here this

[Tecna10]

I love that song since i heard it in Bones!...Booth and Bones are totally made for eachother!...And i think many people knew this song exactly from Bones xd

[Jacobrester]

@Tecna10 Hehehehe.......i heard it on Bones also.....I love it now.....Bones is such a good show

[woodchuk123]

Make no mistake, I love The Eagles to death and always will. But this song is only one of the reasons why Poco will always be everything The Eagles wish they could have been. Why else would they have to keep stealing their bass players to prove it? The Eagles have some nice harmony moments, certainly, but they have NOTHING on this. And The Eagles may have had Bernie Leadon, but he could not and cannot touch Rusty Young.  The man has to be the best pedal steel player alive. Go Poco!

[Iaido47]

@woodchuk123

Check out the Poco family tree created by Peter Frame. The Eagles are part of the Poco family. It's difficult to compare the two bands, even though they share members, still two different sounds. Frankly no one compares to Poco. I feel very lucky to have grown up listening to them, and to have seen them live at their peak.

[danelsons]

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

[rickysgirl88]

I cant belivie that his (Timothy B) voice is sssooo pure and cleartoday as it was back in 75..good lord..its because he probaly took care of his voice..I wish the lead singer of Kansas would have..and he has good physical genetics also cause he is one hot almost 60 yr old

[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!

[teszie92]

i love bones!

booth and bones are so made for eachother

love it!

[Mrapplesauceinpie]

lol Bones hehe

[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

[TheVoldemort5]

Love this song ;)

[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.

[xdpcx]

Bones!

[wiley0915]

i just heard it on Bones too! It's a really good song :-)

[jessewalla]

finally found it! thank god, is that Timothy B Schmidt from the Eagles?

[1959sherrybaby]

yep, it is

[MattHatter]

@jessewalla: Yes that would be Timothy B. Schmidt of The Eagles. However Tim didn't join the band until 1978 or so. He was in Poco from 1970 to about 1977. The Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, and The Eagles were all connected with one band member or another.

[piluka20]

Bones song!!!

[goodtogonow3]

I love this song. It brings back such memories from the late 70's. I do have the LP, but my stupid turntable does not work so well

[zannelove]

Timothy B Schmitt is amazing! and to thing he grew up to be an Eagle

[Crowsfan55]

the guy he replaced in the Eagles...was also an original member of POCO...

[MattHatter]

@zannelove: Check out Tim when he was in a mid to late '60s band called The New Breed.  Check out their song "Want Ad Reader." Will remind you of "Paperback Writer" by The Beatles with a bit of that country rock Poco/Eagles harmony already starting to show.

[Dramliza]

Bones! yeah!

[metube790]

@Dramliza yupp!!!!

[kajao8]

bei diesem lied öffnet sich mein herz.

[Arawn88]

Já to viděl taky ve Sběratelích kostí...( I just saw this song on Bones too. One of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.Good choice)

[vllygrl2009]

@porchfinder wow i did the same thing. never heard of this song before till i saw bones and then went to youtube to look up the song to hear it again.

[stephengrass820]

@porchfinder - Sigh. I heard this live. Back in the day. Poco - the most underestimated band ever.

[JinDogg82]

@porchfinder Same 'ere. It's a pleasnt-feeling song.

[JinDogg82]

@porchfinder Same 'ere. It's a pleasant-feeling song.

[valerie3571]

did they make a song in the 70's that wasn't amazing? i don't think so.

[sgia2]

love this sing, and saw it on Bones too!! :D

[cablonde320]

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

[jon1156]

Was this before Karen Allen did Raider of the Lost Ark?

[teladan5]

Never thought about Karen Allen and Timothy B Schmitt as lookalikes. Nice...

[greg91040]

Right on the nose chewbacca!!!!

[mauidremin]

It's been forever since I've heard this song.I guess we all must've been watching Bones at the same time. Whatever happened to bands that do harmonies?

[chewbacca0901]

They went away, and were replaced by stupid thugs standing around with pit bulls, that wouldn't know a melody if it hit them over the head!

[MrJamesfla33065]

Love it Bones it the show to watch and love this song. We don't have any groups who harmonize like this

[saaaamtv]

haha I just searched this song because it was just on Bones on TNT and I really liked it. It's so uplifting. :]

[heyyygraceee]

just heard this on TV from the other room, guess it was Bones, haha (:

[rachellesi]

Thet are so different than today's pop or rock artist. Kind of soulful
