POCO - The Last Roundup.......2007-01-22

This is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of Poco recordings. It was during their Indian Summer tour in 1977. If you want to hear Poco the way they wanted their fans to hear them, you cannot go wrong with this offering.

one for the island.......2006-12-08

A Poco Fan for 35 years if I had to pick one album to take on an island this would be it?

Very Nice Summation of the Late 70's Poco.......2006-10-28

Very much surprised at how good this live concert recording is. Though I did see this final incarnation of the first post-Ritchie Furay version of the band in concert at the time I'm still amazed at how good they were. The sound quality of this CD is excellent, the band sounds super-charged. The only weakness in my mind is a couple of song selections.

For the un-initiated this the end of the road for the band era that includes Timothy Schmit before he headed off to greener pastures otherwise known as The Eagles. This CD includes many songs from Indian Summer, their final studio album with Schmit. On the surface that might not be a good sign, but surprise, surprise. The live versions here improve on virtually all of those songs. Its impossible to exaggerate how well these songs are sung and played here.

Throw in a couple of excellent vintage tracks such as Rose of Cimarron, Keep on Tryin and Sagebrush Serenade and what you are left with is a nice reminder of how good this band was. The songs from Paul Cotton and Timothy Schmit dominate this recording which is good. But you also see the emergence of Rusty Young as a songwriter which would eventually come to full fruition with the subsequent incarnation of Poco sans-Schmit.

Overall this is a great find for Timothy Schmit fans as you would never hear him so prominently featured in his future endeavors with The Eagles. I always liked this incarnation of Poco though most long time fans would not consider this to be their finest era (how could it be without Ritchie Furay?). Take it for what it is; a fine live document of a very good band that never quite got its due.

I love Poco but............2006-02-19

This is Poco after many of the original members were long gone.
It's still better than 99% of the junk on radio now but don't buy it expecting to hear the Poco of the 70's.

Poco - the last roundup .......2005-10-12

Read the reviews; purchased the CD. It was wonderful to see an unreleased live Poco concert available after many years in the can. But let's be honest, the breathless Reviews I read before purchasing the CD were a bit over the top. Yes, it is a good recording, but the CD suffers because several weak songs were included (in an effort not to duplicate the previous live recordings?). There are some real gems, some real keepers, on this CD, but because of the filler material, it is not a great one. Your best bet: invent a time machine and attend a Poco concert in person.
