Rare Earth with Poco: 1972
Rare Earth with Special Guest Star Poco, November 25, 1972, at the Minneapolis Armory, a Greathall Production. According to a published review by B.W. Froelich, these two bands drew different audiences, and many people left after Poco opened the show. Poco did a lot of material from their album “A Good Feeling to Know,” but failed to do an encore. When Rare Earth appeared, someone yelled “Poco!”
Bob Pratt pointed out the photo below from the 1973 Echowan yearbook, taken by his father, news videographer Ken Pratt. Pictured is Paul Cotton – Bob even remembers that they were playing “Bad Weather” when this photo was taken.
Poco’s Set List:
