Just saw this of Poco in 1992. Excellent close ups of Rusty on psg showing lots of his techniques including thumb-behind-ring-finger harmonics, his notorious “slap n slide”, crazy slide antics, etc., plus lots of just cool pickin’.

Got to see him play in Cincinnati shortly before he passed away. What a treat. Also had the pleasure of meeting and talking some steel guitar with him after the show. Very humble, a wonderful guy.

Is he playing a keyless Dekley? Looks like a Dekley fretboard, never could make out the front of cabinet logo, but I've never seen a keyless Dekley before. Man, Rusty tears it up on rock stuff!

Johnny, I think you're right, I'm losing track of fretboard artwork in my dotage!

I loved Poco, but I really wish they could have found another front man. Rusty was so much more fun as the great multi-instrumentalist of the band. Paul Cotton, fine writer/singer/player that he was, never was up for the front job either.
Aside from 3 or 4 excellent post-Richie Furay albums, their live shows never really fully recovered from his exit, imho. And after Timothy B and George Grantham left, there was very little left of the chemistry that made them a great band. Ghost Town was the last album of theirs that I ever bought. It was good, but it wasn’t really Poco anymore. |

I loved Poco, but they were never as good after Jim Messina left. Rusty and Jim made magic together!
I saw them once in London but with Paul Cotton in Jim's place. They'd lost something, in my opinion.

I totally agree, guys. Saw them at the Filmore West the last night Jimmy played with them (Paul first played w/them the next night)... Best show I've ever seen. What a tight band, and vocals to die for.

Kind of strange.. The general consensus is that POCO had "lost something" in its later iterations, especially when Rusty had more or less abandoned being the great multi instrumentalist and became the front guy.. I agree.
However, thats when they had their biggest hits, go figure.
They had a much more commercial sound, and had lost some of the country rock feel, and it worked out for them, for a while at least. then later on, as with many aging bands,they were playing clubs, small venues, and humping their own gear with original member leaving, joining, joining, leaving, and a bunch of replacements always on tap depending on the gig... the POCO I will always remember is the original lineup..Immense talent. RIP Rusty and Paul....bob

I love Poco. I met Rusty young around ‘92, he looked exactly like he does this video. Had the same bassist and drummer. Poco had 4 shows at the President Casino in Biloxi. I went to all 4, and met them after the first show. We had every Poco album and started talking “Poco” stuff with them.
I got to spend a lot of time with Rusty and Paul at the President Casino that weekend, even having dinner and drinks with them. That was one of the best weekends of my life 
Not long after this, Rusty changed his appearance when he clipped off his hair. But here, he still looks a little like the 70s Rusty we remember from the old Poco days. |
