Poco Revisit Their Harmonious Legacy in a Timeless Live Medley
In this memorable live performance, Poco revisit three songs that define both their musical identity and their enduring emotional appeal: “Where Did The Time Go,” “Keep On Tryin’,” and “Crazy Love.” Rather than presenting these tracks as isolated hits, the band weaves them together into a flowing medley that reflects decades of shared history, musical craftsmanship, and quiet confidence.
Poco have always occupied a unique position in American rock history. Emerging from the ashes of Buffalo Springfield in the late 1960s, they became pioneers of country rock long before the genre gained mainstream recognition. This performance captures that legacy in its purest form. There is no rush, no excess, and no attempt to modernize the material. Instead, the band allows space for melody, harmony, and feeling to carry the moment.
“Where Did The Time Go” opens the set with reflective calm, its title alone resonating deeply with longtime fans. The song’s gentle progression feels almost autobiographical when performed live decades after its release, underscoring the passage of time not as loss, but as accumulation of experience. From there, “Keep On Tryin’” adds a sense of quiet perseverance, echoing the band’s own journey through changing musical eras and shifting industry trends.
The medley reaches its emotional peak with “Crazy Love,” Poco’s most commercially successful song and one of soft rock’s defining ballads. First released in 1978 on the album Legend, the song famously climbed to No.17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart for seven consecutive weeks. In this live setting, its familiar melody is delivered with restraint and warmth, relying on vocal blend rather than studio polish.
Visually, the performance reinforces Poco’s understated ethos. The stage setup is modest, the lighting warm, and the musicianship front and center. What stands out most is the band’s harmony singing, still remarkably intact, and the ease with which they interact as a unit rather than as individuals seeking the spotlight.
This performance is not about nostalgia as spectacle. It is about continuity, about songs that have traveled alongside listeners for decades and still feel relevant when played with honesty. For fans of classic American rock, this live medley is a quiet reminder that some music does not age. It simply deepens.
