Overall feel for SC 09 lineup

[schradog]

Ok so the long awaited day has come and gone.
So what does everyone think?? I know a few are excited about Reba, and me personally about Brad, but I thought GoldenVoice didnt do repeats??? What is up with Kenny? And where are Toby, Martina, Kevin Costner (:eek:), Jessica Simpson (:eek:), etc.

And who is POCO????? They are 7th on the list? Above Charlie Daniels Band?

And let the games begin!!!!

[HonkeyTonker]

if they didnt do repeats, there would be no one going. they already had all the great ones last year...

[TheMommie]

Maybe we will get longer performances?

[Kymery]

Yeah, I am surprised there are quiet a few not on here. I am hoping they are adding some more, the side stages seem off. To me, I only want to see Charlie Daniels, Ricky Scaggs and maybe two more. Last two years I was frantic that I couldnt see them all, guess it is a blessing in disguise...carefull what I wish for?

[HonkeyTonker]

yea... but still, party of a lifetime!

[Kymery]

And then I have ********** to look forward to later that year with many other great artists..gonna be a great year!

No comment on the Mane Stage acts, however I applaud them for keeping the smaller stages diverse and eclectic. I too thought that they didn't do repeat acts.

[Lizzy]

I was hoping for Toby too

[Kymery]

John Michael Montgomery, LEE ANN WOMACK..DUHH James Otto, Clay Walker, Aaron Watson, sheesh..so many...guess this year will be a year to see all the side stages and enjoy some new acts.

[PrncessJess22]

YEP, YEP!!

[Tiffysblessed]

I think they could have done a lot better. I like seeinf Kenny preform but it feels like just yesterday that he was there. I wish we had a vote on who preforms!! That would be great!!!

[schradog]

John Michael Montgomery, LEE ANN WOMACK..DUHH James Otto, Clay Walker, Aaron Watson, sheesh..so many...guess this year will be a year to see all the side stages and enjoy some new acts.

I do suppose they need to keep some for next year. All very good suggestions. Forgot all about Clay Walker!

Let them bring in a suprise repeat performer!! ALAN, GEORGE, BROOKS N DUNN, RASCAL, GARY, how about Dwight on the big stage!!! So many to see... so little time!

I saw Gary Allan at the local casino, can I just tell you that he ROCKS! Ok I am done.

[socalcountrygrl]

Personally...Hoping They and More "Known" Acts. Still A Great Party!!

[Rose]

There are so many GREAT C&W folks to choose from nowadays.

If Kevin Costner ever gets signed up for Stagecoach then I won't go! Jessica Simpson would be a bathroom/booze run.

[Kymery]

If Kevin Costner ever gets signed up for Stagecoach then I won't go! .

Even if he is easy on the eyes?

Oh and I am shocked Keith Urban is not on the bill! Or Martina! I would love Mark Chesnut...but saving him for WWF!!!
Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Byrd...god the list goes on ....

[GoneCountry]

On KKGO this morning, Shawn Parr stated that the artists would be playing "full sets" this year. That could be one reason that there are fewer artists. As for "repeat" artists, I believe they said last year that they didn't want to repeat two years consecutively.

[Kymery]

That would be awesome with full sets! I hated that we didn't get encores for the ones we really cheered for!

[HonkeyTonker]

yea but common, who doesnt love TIMMY too bad hes not coming back....

[Kymery]

yea but common, who doesnt love TIMMY too bad hes not coming back....

You are not serious??? I did NOT cheer Timmy on! He didn't deserve and encoure.

[HonkeyTonker]

are you serious. its timmy, all he has to do is fart and i would worship him. he is amazing. how do you not like his work, you couldnt even hear his voice over everyone singing the songs for him.

[Kymery]

are you serious. its timmy, all he has to do is fart and i would worship him. he is amazing. how do you not like his work, you couldnt even hear his voice over everyone singing the songs for him.

Wow..we were in two diff areas of the concert..I was 12th row and heard and saw everything..very, very displeased with that performance. I do like his work, just not at SC08.

[HonkeyTonker]

yea last year was my first year and i was suck in the back with all the drunks and couldnt really hear much besides the sound of everyone drunk. maybe thats the difference. this year im def. getting actual seats.

[GoneCountry]

I must say that I have to agree that Tim's performance last year was extremely disappointing. I'd never seen him before and was so excited when he came on. Boy, he really sucked!

[snakebite6776]

2 words. Dis Appointing. There could have been so much more. Oh well, hopefully they will be playing full sets.

[HonkeyTonker]

aww thats sad to hear. i love tim tho... and well... he's prob my fav artist.

[schradog]

are you serious. its timmy, all he has to do is fart and i would worship him. he is amazing. how do you not like his work, you couldnt even hear his voice over everyone singing the songs for him.

Ok i think you have just opened up a big can of worms!!!

[HonkeyTonker]

if this is going to be a bash on Tim then i'll have to leave.

[Kymery]

if this is going to be a bash on Tim then i'll have to leave.

Don't let the door hit ya....:eek:

JUST KIDDIN!! I am sure there are many, many artists I love and you wouldn't...all good and it pays their bills either way!:D

[HonkeyTonker]

this year, im after kenny. i love his new cd. have you heard his new song 10 at 2??

[Kymery]

this year, im after kenny. i love his new cd. have you heard his new song 10 at 2??

Ok, HonkeyTonker..you are sitting in the back! lol!!

Wonder if they will put up his sand box at this venue?

[honkytonkangel]

this year, im after kenny. i love his new cd. have you heard his new song 10 at 2??

Oh boy, we already had this discussion and it wasn't pretty...LOL!!!;)
(it means you are THE FIRST person on this board to type those words!!!:eek:)

[HonkeyTonker]

WOW you people suck. where was this other discussion, i wanna go see.

[schradog]

Oh boy, we already had this discussion and it wasn't pretty...LOL!!!;)
(it means you are THE FIRST person on this board to type those words!!!:eek:)

Sounds like another can of worms !!! ;)

[HonkeyTonker]

i'm starting to hate worms. so if kenny and tim are no good, who DO you like?

[Kymery]

i'm starting to hate worms. so if kenny and tim are no good, who DO you like?

Well, for me:
Gary Allan
Aaron Watson
Western Underground
Hank (either one)
George Strait
Clay Walker
Mark Chesnut
Lee Ann Womack
Chris LeDoux
Restless Heart
Lonestar
Johnny Cash
Tracey Lawrence..and on and on and on
As you can see I am more old school...dont like the "alternative country" these days.

[honkytonkangel]

i'm starting to hate worms. so if kenny and tim are no good, who DO you like?

Go to The Corral, and go to page 2 of the threads....it is under "Kenny Chesney-Lucky Old Sun".......all will be explained ;)

Are you a newbie here? We don't hate Tim (well, most of the peeps on here), we were disappointed in his SC08 performance...BIG DIFFERENCE.....same with Kenny....those of us that usually love Kenny are largely disappointed in his new NON COUNTRY album. Thats all. Sorry to use the royal "we"...I don't mean to speak for everyone, but thats the feeling I got from all the posts!!

[HonkeyTonker]

do you think tim is alternative country??? i like more twanie stuff like alan jackson (went to his concert last summer and that was a lot of fun) but i ALSO like new stuff like carrie underwood, im gonna see her on saturday.

[GoneCountry]

Well, I've gotta join the "I Love Kenny" club, too. I love his new CD and I love "10 at 2".

[Kymery]

do you think tim is alternative country??? i like more twanie stuff like alan jackson (went to his concert last summer and that was a lot of fun) but i ALSO like new stuff like carrie underwood, im gonna see her on saturday.

I agree he isnt alternative, just left a bad taste from sc08

[GoneCountry]

Kenny has to perform his full set -- his performance was so "stubbed of" in '07 and everybody was leaving -- I felt bad for him. I've seen him several times and I just love him!

[HonkeyTonker]

yay GoneCountry!!!!!! im glad im not alone

[honkytonkangel]

Well, I've gotta join the "I Love Kenny" club, too. I love his new CD and I love "10 at 2".

I love Kenny as well...seen him 5 or 6 times, SC09 will be that +1....just saying I didn't enjoy his new CD....thats all......

[schradog]

I agree with Kymery, alot of us really do like Tim's work, but after his performance, if you can call it that, we are just sore. That was one of a few acts i really cared about last year and he cheated me big time!!! Especially as the closing act for the weekend.

I will stop there cuz it can get ugly and hopefully this will not turn into another Tim bashing! We already did that.

[honkytonkangel]

Kenny has to perform his full set -- his performance was so "stubbed of" in '07 and everybody was leaving -- I felt bad for him. I've seen him several times and I just love him!

I agree!! It was such a distraction with people getting up in the middle and leaving.....if thats your plan...SIT IN THE BACK PEOPLE!!!:eek:

[HonkeyTonker]

ok do you like the cover of sweet home alabama?? that will most likely be a pee run this year, i dont like kid rock that much

[honkytonkangel]

ok do you like the cover of sweet home alabama?? that will most likely be a pee run this year, i dont like kid rock that much

I liked it at first, but like most artists/songs on the radio in SD it was beaten to DEATH...so that will prolly be a beer run for me...at least I can still hear it in line!!! LOL!

[schradog]

I liked it at first, but like most artists/songs on the radio in SD it was beaten to DEATH...so that will prolly be a beer run for me...at least I can still hear it in line!!! LOL!

Definately a pee run or another stage for me. I know he has cleaned up his image but still... just not country to me.

[HonkeyTonker]

yea i will have to agree, every song is beaten to death. but before i could even decide i like that song it was dead. i like the original sooo much better. theres no toping sweet home alabama. its a classic and will always have an un-replaceable spot in my heart

[honkytonkangel]

AGREED!:D
What is the deal with SD country stations anyways?? They are TERRIBLE!!! I drove up the 5 to NorCal last week and every 2 numbers on the dial there was a country station and most were AWESOME!! (I know SD doesn't have huge country crowd, just that our 2 stations are clones of each other, would like some VARIETY!!)

[HonkeyTonker]

i just moved down here from OC and in OC we had go country. i liked go country... they were pretty good, but played a lot of the same stuff. i could only listen for like one week out of the month cause i'd get over the same stuff. my ipod has become my bff down here in SD.

[GoneCountry]

Well, not to "bash" another artist, but Kid Rock will definitely be a bathroom/beer/food run for me, if not another stage. I can't even stand to look at him -- I know, that's terrible of me to say.:rolleyes:

[HonkeyTonker]

it might be terrible but compleatly true. hopefully he'll be the first act so i can just come after him

[Kymery]

I agree!! It was such a distraction with people getting up in the middle and leaving.....if thats your plan...SIT IN THE BACK PEOPLE!!!:eek:

I couldn't leave!! I WANTED MY SOUVENIER CHAIR:mad:

[HonkeyTonker]

by the looks of it im not the only one dissapointed with this years line up. its not bad but its not good either, anyone disagree??

[Kymery]

Yeah was my thoughts exactly when I found out Big and Rich were playing! I knew I would be out of me seat and at another stage during that one.

[Cooter]

it might be terrible but compleatly true. hopefully he'll be the first act so i can just come after him

good luck with that...

[HonkeyTonker]

Yeah was my thoughts exactly when I found out Big and Rich were playing! I knew I would be out of me seat and at another stage during that one.

i like save a horse and that was all i knew by them i stayed hoping they would be good and i could discover more from them but i realized that big and rich are the worst band ever. they suck and there performance sucked. sorry to be so harsh but seriously?? who invited them to sc08. at least we wont have to go through that monstrosity again. but i will give them save a horse. thats a goodie.

[Kymery]

See...we agree now!! :D (except I dont even like that song)

[HonkeyTonker]

See...we agree now!! :D (except I dont even like that song)

haha so all i have to do is bad mouth everyone and i fit in.... great.... lol


but seriously i do love tim. thats all ill say we already ripped in to him so we'll leave it at that.

[Rose]

I just saw Kid Rock at the Universal Amp and he was really really good and put on a fantastic performance. He gave the fans his all and it was very noticeable. I will be in my seat for him unless he's at another stage and at that point I will go follow him.

[amyinsjc]

This list is sorely missing some great acts - especially in the female category. Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood - HUGE draws last year. Does anyone think they'll add a day? If so, how do they handle tickets for the extra day when you've purchased a weekend pass?

[Kymery]

Naw..not that extreme..all in fun!

[KittyLeigh]

I'm liking the lineup - but noticed that (for me) there aren't quite AS MANY acts that I know - compared to SC07 and SC08. Still TERRIBLY excited about SC09!! If they are all full sets - will still be a full and complete show!

Loving that Brad is going to be there! Haven't heard Kenny's new CD, but I'm SURE he'll sing some older stuff! IHML and I were talking about Kid Rock - we like him and all...but that close to the top of a Country Lineup? hhhmmmm.....interesting...

And...I guess I've been away from these boards too long - Kevin Costner???! I had to google "Kevin Costner Country music" to see if it was THAT Kevin Costner?! Had no clue he was goin' country!

[LifesAHighway]

by the looks of it im not the only one dissapointed with this years line up. its not bad but its not good either, anyone disagree??


i agree... im excited to see 6 out of everyone listed....

Anyone know a way to get ahold of the person that booked everyone for stagecoach? i need to send him/her some info

[horsephotographer]

There are so many GREAT C&W folks to choose from nowadays.

If Kevin Costner ever gets signed up for Stagecoach then I won't go! Jessica Simpson would be a bathroom/booze run.
You would still go....
I know you and you would not miss it.
You are sooooo funny....:rolleyes:

[horsephotographer]

Kenny and Kid rock.....:cool::D
I'm so in....
I won't miss a great shot of him ......
So much to do also.Guess no bulls this year.Ya never know what they have up there sleeve to pull out of the hat to keep the excitement going...
Tick Tock....:cool:

[Buddy_Rabbit]

Let's just get this outta the way. I totally enjoyed Tim McGraw last year. I could really not care less if a performer "interacts" with fans. He actually kinda won me over some, because I had never seen him live. He is a soulful performer.

On to other matters:
Last year, one of the main reasons I went to SC08 was Dwight Yoakam. So there I sat in my reserved VIP seating. . . . I knew what time Dwight was playing, and I was "all jacked up". . . . what I got - was RASCAL FLATS.

OK, sharp lesson learned. . . great acts are relegated to the side-stages. George Jones was everything I hoped he would be - although in a tent well away from the "Mane Stage". . .

I am really happy to see Brad Paisley in the lineup, but I was REALLY hoping for additional big acts; hoping that Stagecoach was gathering steam - that ALL generations of country would consider this a premiere, marquee-type, annual event for the West.

Good God, spare me Kevin Costner, Jessica Simpson - thanks for that small favor.

We really need more, bigger and better headliners. I fully expect an additional day to be added to the ticket, but I'm hoping for some serious HEAVY-HITTERS. . . . and better parking security. . . AND A TRAM OR SOMETHING from the distant camping areas . . . and at least a CHANCE at Gold Circle. . . anyways, see yall at the Show.

The SC guy on go country this morning pretty much swore up and down that there wouldn't be another day added. And I believe him. Lasy year was a fluke solely because of the Eagles. Also... we've learned that same acts do not appear two years in a row. So the only reason you don't see Carrie is cuz she was just here. Frankly, we're lucky to be seeing Miranda and Kenny again this soon. That Kenny is a work-aholic so he's a sure thing. Have there been ANY other repeaters??? Someone out here will keep me honset.

Sorry I have been away all day but I had things to do outside of my comp. :( It was so hard to leave when all the good stuff started to be talked about..such like this!!

THEY SHOULD have 3-days every year. It brings more of a crowd AND one more day is one more day of beer being bought, souv. being bought, and not to mention a whole other day to charge ppl. I am surprised SC doesn't think about this. Money will come and go, so we are not worried about paying another day so bring the 3rd day!!! Plus it makes a better weekend then just 2 days:eek:! Why bring repeats back so quickly anyway, there are so many other ppl then Kenny! Toby, Blake Shelton, Little Texas, Jack Ingram, Phil Vassar, etc. But if ppl want Kenny then I will be quiet :rolleyes:

goldenvoice can only pick from acts that are touring/available in the area at the time the event happens. they can't demand that a performer play the show if said performer is across the world or taking a break from the industry. why do people think these things are so easy to organize???

[Countrygurl]

oh come on cooter, you know they can just look at the wish list online and call the performer up and get them to play no problem, sheesh do you live under a rock?

[Cooter]

sometimes i wish i did...

[NicoleErin]

[horsephotographer]

I think they could have done a lot better. I like seeinf Kenny preform but it feels like just yesterday that he was there. I wish we had a vote on who preforms!! That would be great!!!
Yes, but Kenny rocked the house last time at stagecoach and I for one think he will once more.
I can never get enough of him.
Besides he is a incredible performer......:D

[horsephotographer]

No way on those gals they were just there...
Now I was wishing Jewel......Hummmmm
Never know?:rolleyes:

[Thom]

Wont be three day
Well maybe if Elvis becomes available

[Rose]

Wont be three day
Well maybe if Elvis becomes available

Elvis is available and ready to do Stagecoach!!! Instead of the 68 comeback special it will be the 09 and I'm not dead tour. :eek: :p :rolleyes: :p

He's got two new grandkids to support so we know he needs the money. :rolleyes:

[schradog]

by the looks of it im not the only one dissapointed with this years line up. its not bad but its not good either, anyone disagree??

Totally AGREE. No big guns, Brad is good, we have all seen Kenny, Kid Rock blows, we need some Toby, Martina, bring George or Alan or B&D back.

I am on the fence about going myself. Other than that party. I guess it is not too expensive for a two day party.

[Kymery]

This year, tons of people didn't even have tickets to the concert, they just hung in the campgrounds and partied!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I know I am a big fan; sorry if it sounds bias, but what about the famous red head? Everybody I know said she was too big and may not come! And she's coming! I think she is a big gun:o lol

[billifer]

I dont love "take another puff of ur joint Timmy"..
I'd rather have wasted Kenny.

People love to complain.. if its too expensive or you dont like the line up.. you still have time to change ur mind!! Stagecoach will go on without u!

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

Seeing all these artists for $100, when it costs that much (or more) to see one of them in concert on their own. ALWAYS worth it. :)

[festivalfan]

Seeing all these artists for $100, when it costs that much (or more) to see one of them in concert on their own. ALWAYS worth it. :)

I see you're another ZBB fan YAY!!....just ask me and HTA....we're right with ya

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

Seeing all these artists for $100, when it costs that much (or more) to see one of them in concert on their own. ALWAYS worth it. :)

Exactly. this price to see Brad, Kenny (whether you just saw him or not), Charlie Daniels Band, ZBB, Miranda Lambert, and REBA MCENTIRE and ppl are complaining. Makes me sad.

[horsephotographer]

I know I am a big fan; sorry if it sounds bias, but what about the famous red head? Everybody I know said she was too big and may not come! And she's coming! I think she is a big gun:o lol
Yes she is.......:D

I agree! I've spent that amount on ONE concert - I think it's a great deal this upcoming year! Can't wait to camp again!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I agree! I've spent that amount on ONE concert - I think it's a great deal this upcoming year! Can't wait to camp again!

I have done that too! Reba's concert in July that I went to. Cost over $80. So for $20 more I can see Brad, Kenny, ZBB, CDB, Miranda,etc.? hmmm my lucky weekend!

[Kymery]

I have done that too! Reba's concert in July that I went to. Cost over $80. So for $20 more I can see Brad, Kenny, ZBB, CDB, Miranda,etc.? hmmm my lucky weekend!

Yeah, but you had seats at Reba and were close. You have to see Brady Kenny etc via big screen. Ok, I am spoiled, need to be up close or I can watch U-tube the next day! ehehehehe

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

True. big screen, hear it, drinking. All works for me! And exactly, there is always youtube for the stuff I miss! lol

[Kymery]

True. big screen, hear it, drinking. All works for me! And exactly, there is always youtube for the stuff I miss! lol

Hell, I miss it all anyway after all the cervesa's I put in me.

[Kymery]

Ahahaha...Kfrog is gearing us up for Kid Rock..they are playing his old song ...I put your picture away.... duet...

[festivalfan]

Ahahaha...Kfrog is gearing us up for Kid Rock..they are playing his old song ...I put your picture away.... duet...

ya with Sheryl Crow....another wanna be cross over.. sort of..maybe she'll be his "special guest".. she actually has a really neat song..."Love is Free"...that's pleasing to listen to.

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

That would be cool. The only thing they should sing together is picture away.

I thought Tim flew in just for Stagecoach.....thats the impression I got from him....they don't need their whole stage set-up and guitars travel easy....

[Rose]

Doesn't Tim & Faith have a house out here?

[Kymery]

Doesn't Tim & Faith have a house out here?

Yes...LA area...but didnt they just put it back on the market? or was that Keith?

[horsephotographer]

Seeing all these artists for $100, when it costs that much (or more) to see one of them in concert on their own. ALWAYS worth it. :)
I agree....It is a great price...:D:D:D
It's the RV charge and hotel that will kill ya that time of year in the desert.....

[Kymery]

I agree....It is a great price...:D:D:D
It's the RV charge and hotel that will kill ya that time of year in the desert.....

Hmmm...I have a diff view..you dont SEE them for $100...you hear them..you SEE them for $799.00:eek:

[horsephotographer]

I have a great idea.....
The red cups should by a mobile at the La Quinta ridge next to the tent area of stagecoach.It is probably cheap since the water issues and they have fixed that problem now any way...:eek:
Rent it out during coachella and the rest of season.Then you can all stay there instead..
And even make a buck to help with cost of stagecoach...
Kymery I put you in charge of booking it.I'll help with the real estate part of the deal...
Who is in on that investment...:D
Since the stock market is so bad....

[horsephotographer]

Hmmm...I have a diff view..you dont SEE them for $100...you hear them..you SEE them for $799.00:eek:
Exactly...
Of course unless you have to work and have a press pass......
Then you still get to hear them and really only see them after it is all over in the dark room...Ugggg:mad:
Oh and you can't drink or have fun with all that gear to watch....
Your seat is looking better all the time....:cool:

[Kymery]

[wagonwheelfestival]

They almost have to do repeats somewhat, you would run out pretty quick with how many acts they have each year...

[horsephotographer]

Ok we need to find a way for you to do a meet and greet with ms reba....
who has a contact?

That is very true......

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

true. Hopefully though, they add some more ppl before April. I mean we didnt know Eagles and Trisha were being signed on until later on! Maybe not one more day added but like, a few more artists like Martina McBride, Blake Shelton...that sorta thing.

But I am not complaining about what we do have!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

YES! That would be awesome!

[Countrygurl]

Here is the line up by day
http://stagecoachfestival.com/event/lineupbyday

[bree621]

I like the lineup, though I loved last years line up. I'm sad I missed out on Stagecoach 07' because Sara Evans played that year and she is one of my favorite artists... to bad they didn't bring her back to play this year. Anyways... I'm happy with the lineup!

Is it April yet?

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I'm happy with the lineup!

Is it April yet?

I like it too.

And no its not April!:( It feels like its never gonna come!:eek: lol

[Kymery]

At least you dont have to wait till May!!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

true. But now April is so far because I just set up my b-day plans. The 1st week of apr. Me and the friends are going VEGAS! then two weeks later is SC '09! argh, its never coming quickly is it!?

[sunkisses]

Hello to everyone! Long time no talk to! It's been months since I've logged on. Was so excited to get my email with this years acts...then was sooo disappointed like all of you to see the same 'ol, same 'ol. Don't get me wrong...I loves me some Kenny. Loved Miranda at Stagecoach 2007. Really looking forward to Little Bigtown and Lady Antebellum! They are awesome! I am counting down the days and looking forward to catching up with all of you since it's been a while! I was pleased with the weekend price and thrilled with the monthly payment plan, especially with this economy!:)

[Kymery]

Hi sunkisses..glad to see you back. Layaway is helpfull for sure...win win for GV!! I bet tons of people dont pay off their ticket and GV makes money even more..smart move on their part

[wagonwheelfestival]

I agree, I guarantee people will order layaway tickets and never pay them off, great thinkin... I'm unfortunately not as impressed with the lineup compared to last year... Ok, so whats the total price for an RV spot w/ hookups, and two of the best section seats?

Hi Sunkisses....
Wow it seems like we just chatted yesterday...lol
Glad to see ya back on the boards.:D

[DesertMan]

Ok so the long awaited day has come and gone.
So what does everyone think?? I know a few are excited about Reba, and me personally about Brad, but I thought GoldenVoice didnt do repeats??? What is up with Kenny? And where are Toby, Martina, Kevin Costner (:eek:), Jessica Simpson (:eek:), etc.

And who is POCO????? They are 7th on the list? Above Charlie Daniels Band?

And let the games begin!!!!

Interesting how a country/rock fan doesn't know who Poco is.
POCO is THE seminal country/rock band....They were the innovators of blending country music with rock.Richie Furay,Rusty Young,Jim Messina,Randy Meisner and George Grantham formed POCO in 1968....Some of the names sound Familar?
Furay and Messina came out of The Buffalo Springfield...Young,Meisner and Grantham came out of bands from Colorado ...When Mesiner left Poco to join The Eagles....a guy named Timothy B Schmit(know him?} took his place and stayed in Poco for seven years....replacing Meisner in The Eagles in 1977.
Jim Messina went on to form Loggins and Messina(heard of them?)
POCO'S album "Legend'' was certified gold in 1979 some of the hits off that album were 'Crazy Love' and In 'The Heart of The Night'.
In 1989 the orginial members got together again and recorded an album,'Legacy' which also went gold,some of the hits off that album were 'Call it love' and 'Nothing to Hide' .Nothing to Hide featured Randy Meisner on lead vocals.
POCO still tours and performs over 45/55 shows per year.
Rusty Young,Paul Cotton{who replaced Messina in 1970] Jack Sundrud and George Lawrence are the members of Poco.Richie Furay performs with Poco a few times a year,along touring with his own band...The Richie Furay Band.
This will be the first time since 1990,that most of the original members will be performing together.Unfortunatley orginial member, drummer George Grantham suffered a serious stroke while performing with Poco in 2004,and can no longer perform.George Lawrence has taken his place in the band...Hope you know a little bit about POCO now

[Kymery]

Thanks for the full update on the band. I am not that old so therefor not up with the bands from the 70's as I was just a little baby back then. Have since seen the posts with the Utube stuff and checked them out. Still dont know who they are but will take a listen at Stagecoach! Gonna have to update myself on the old school country!

[Rose]

hehehe....Interesting how a country/rock fan doesn't know who Poco is. How old are you desertman?

Being very familar with that era, I have to say that after going to many a party in the hollywood hills with nothing but "bowls" filled with coke (I was so scared and had to leave) don't remember that era....well....and that's just the tip of the iceberg....I have WAY to many stories to scare you with. I'm not bragging...It's just that's the way it was back in the day. (disco era)

The guy with the long hair playing the bass in the early 70's video is Timothy B Schmit,who went on to join The Eagles.
Poco was a major influence on The Eagles...unfortunatley due to more management and some bad breaks Poco never acheived the mega success of The Eagles.But Poco has a major hard core fan base scattered world wide.Go to http://www.poconut.com/ probably the most interactive fan/band base site on the internet.

I'm in the early 50's.Just trying to educate the youngsters...Trying to teach them that the fore fathers of country/rock were Poco,not bands such as The Eagles and America. Poco's influence is heard in bands such as Little Texas,Lonestar,and just about all of the current Nashville lineup.
