Yes it stands as Poco is the Best! and the eagles ...pop rock. Yawn but really Poco is just a great feel, good music, band and it just so happens they were the best musicians and singers and songwriters.No one knows why they were not the commercial megastars they should have been but any Poco fan knows they were the best and pioneered the way for later bands!

You're right. The people who had the formula to make POCO will never be copied by other people...not as good as the original.

I can't believe we're still having the Poco/Eagles debate almost 40 years later. Bottom line: Eagles were (and still are) a commercial sellout, copycat band. Poco, i.e., Furay, Messina, et. al., were the pioneers of country rock. Then, Furay sold out to Geffen; Schmit to Eagles. Hey, everybody wants to be a rock star; everybody wants a hit record. Who can blame them? Gotta make a living. The original Poco was awesome. The current "Poco"...well...sucks.

@bigmarty56 almost right. side 1 was recorded live in Boston (w/ the ever lovely Charles Lackendorra hosting); side 2 was recorded at MSG. Great album!

Sorry, I guess French

This version has nothing to do with the far better cut on "Deliverin'". If you look at the post script---this is an Asian, or some other "Third World"--- deal (Poco was, and remains, huge over there). The Live US Album cut of this song was recorded in Boston with maybe some judicious insets from NYC, circa late '68 or '69.

The instruments are in tune, although bending the guitar strings that much along with a pedal steel does creates a dense harmonic texture. I was referring to the vocals, I believe.

I never liked the Eagles much, although I recognize their musicianship. I did always like Joe Walsh, so I listened to more of the Eagles after he joined. Hotel California was a good song, but not his best.

I don't hear how this is out of tune! Sounds pretty in tune to me, and I'm a musician. It's a ragged video copy that's for sure and bands always sound a bit out of tune when they play live if they can't hear themselves properly.
