Great band, they’ve been iconic for a very long time. Killer vocals, superb musicianship, wonderful audience interaction and humor, very entertaining. Golden Nugget Showroom was a spacious, well appointed venue, yet intimate. Will go there again.
While the show was entertaining, I was a bit disappointed that none of Poco's hit songs were sung. I did enjoy Jim singing all of Loggins and Messina's hit songs.
If you are a fan of Poco and Jim Messina you got what you paid for and more!! An outstanding show!! The only disappointment was that Messina didn't play a song or two with Poco while Mr. Young did play pedal steel on a song or two with Messina, but that's between them. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Oh and it was my first time in this venue.....Amazing Venue!!
Everything you've expected to hear from a 70's setlist with some new material mixed in. Great band Great venue!
Seen them and Messina before. All others much better shows. Uninvolved not inspired professional performance. Not a single memora6. They and Jimmy should have played together.
Poco never fails to give a great show. They played their classic songs and some newer ones as well. Love the pedal steel guitar. Super harmonies as well. Can’t wait to see them again!
Atlanta Rythem Section was great. Poco's Rusty Young sings well for his age but I kept wanting to hear Richie Furay belting out a song.
I have been attending Poco concerts for 40 years and while Rusty Young - no relation to Neil Young haha - is the only member from the original Poco- the beautiful harmonies remain intact. My favorite song of the night was a Cajun rendition of an old favorite. Love the squeeze box. My only complaint. Too short!!! They always leave me wanting more ... hence 40 years of concerts.
Jim Messina was excellent. Great group of musicians. Played most of the songs you would want to hear. Poco was not as good. Played too much of their solo stuff and not enough Poco.
Took my Wife to bring back great memories. Saw both performers many years ago. Jim Messina still has it and he sounded great. His current band members were incredibly talented and I liked that they too took center stage for solos. Rusty Young is incredible and I wished he played more songs, including doing a few songs from his new solo album. In particular "My Friend" and "Sara's Song" (Both are AWESOME) and should be listened to immediately. When it came to POCO they weren't as good as I hoped. They didn't do too many of their hits, they did more new stuff. The bass was a little too loud and the overall singing was too low. I still enjoyed them and their story telling from 50 years. We were there to hear their classics and bring back memories and wished Rusty Young played with them along with other members. The night was still very enjoyable.
When I bought my ticket I expected Messina to be the headliner. I was shocked to see Jimmy come out and sit on a stool to start the show. He opened with a song he wrote about his wife, then sang L+M tunes. Later, Rusty Young joined the band to sing “Holiday Hotel” and a couple of other upbeat songs. Messina ended his set with “Your Mama don’t Dance” to a standing ovation. While his voice was weak at times, he was still able to sing on key and throughly entertain everyone who attended. I thought the show was over after he was finished; after all Messina helped form Poco with Richie Furray, Randy Meisner and Rusty Young. A bunch of us started to exit. We were told the show wasn’t over. It didn’t matter that we were entertained for 90 minutes; Poco still had to perform. After a 15 minute break, Rusty Young came out to sing lead, He struggled big time to carry a tune. Even with the average voice singing to us, the group was not disastrous. Besides hearing the three hits that I remembered, there were a number of others that were done well. The best song came from the youngest member (he joined Poco 9 years earlier). He sang a Rock ‘n Roll song he wrote. I don’t remember the name but I liked it a lot. After the show Messina and everyone else went to the front to sell CDs, take photos and sign autographs. I didn’t stop for this but I noticed how cordial Jimmy was. There was no Meet + Greet to get extra money. Any audience member had that opportunity. I highly recommend this show. Who knows how many more opportunities we’ll have to see him. He was never one for touring. When he was producing Kenny Loggins, that’s all he wanted to do, Because he had written so many of Loggins songs, he was convinced to “Sit In” with Kenny and the rest is history.
Three hours of great music. After the show all members came out to the lobby and signed autographs and does a meet and greet.
Nice set by each act. The songs are familiar. You do wonder if departed members were still around how it would sound.
One of my all-time favorite bands! Amazing talent on all levels. Having Jimmy Messina open was the icing on the cake. His lyrics and musical talent can't be beat. Brought back so many memories and I left with a good feeling!! Highly recommended.
Just bringing back old memories with a top quality band. Played all of their old hits and a few from their new album. Rusty Young and Jim Messina can still bring it. Rock n' Roll Music like it should be. Nothing like it in today's world!
Great concert, great song selection by Jim Messina and the meet and greet afterwards was super, to finally meet him brought my past to the present! Been a fan since Buffalo Springfield. Rusty and Poco were dynamic, Jack's Heart of the Night was great! Meet and greet also a nice touch
Messina was excellent , Poco's set was a little dissapointing
Timeless music. These guys are music professionals and bring joy to the room. A must see!
Jim Messina kicked things off and played an hour and 20 minutes of hits from Poco ,L&M and solo works.Band was excellent and the horns with violin playing were fun to listen too while the bass and drummer were rock solid. Jim Messina is an amazing guitarist (a slowhand) . . Rusty joined for a couple of Poco oldies and played his peddal steel that didn't disappoint .Poco ,which I have seen many times over the years but the first time with Webb in the lineup,performed many of their hit and I enjoyed what Webb brings to the group. Found his accordian playing and keyboards accompanied Rusty's guitar new and fun. 3 hour show that you did not want to see end.
This was a collaboration of very talented artists in different musical instruments and excellent vocals as well. It brought back a lot of memories and it is amazing that so many years later they sound superb! The only drawback was that it was over late and it was a weeknight. First half of the show was Jim Messina singing songs done by Loggins & Messina with Poco and the second half was pure Poco music.
