Poco - You Better Think Twice

Great comparison given that they came out of the same era and shared some personell
I've got Deliverin on LP, still gets played at my house.
For a Live album it rules.

Deliverin' was fantastic, and this tune is one of my all time favs, but the problem was that Poco didn't have enough great tunes like this one.

Great song.... anybody notice a young Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles playing bass?

Yep. He was a member of Poco back then - from 1970 to 1977.

this is a great tune!

Man! There is so much I have forgotten... The whole contry Rock scene was one big family with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Poco, The Eagles, CSN&Y, Flying Burito Bros., J.D. Souther etc. This song is a brillieant country/rock/pop song. Briliantly produced and brilliant musicianship. I just recently discovered that Poco had emplyed Donald Fagen as a studio musician!?! Unfortunately Poco suffered from personel changes. Draining them of "edge". A bit like CSN minus Y. Still a great band!

It always baffled me why Poco never enjoyed the big commercial success on the level of Eagles and CSN&Y. I read somewhere: "too country for rock and too rock for country." Maybe that's it. Such a great song -- and I don't think it ever cracked the charts. Without question among the best musical and song-writing talent of the day.

Sincere THANKS for posting this clip. You have made me very happy. I saw Poco when they did their U.K. tour. Would you beleive they were the back up band to "America" Horse With No Name dudes. I fell asleep when they were on but woke up when poco came on. It was 18 Sept. 1975 and the ticket cost £2.50 about two bucks. I still have the poster I tore from the wall! Can't you hear all the influences such as CSN&Y and the others. Geniuses.

How's that work? You fell asleep for the headliners but then woke up for the backing band? Odd that they were in that order.

Dude,can I call you Dude,absolutely right,Deliverin is a great album,wish i was there too young though (4 yrs) what a blessing,I wish there was some footage around from those Boston shows
