Poco begins to scale back their maniacal roadwork beginning this year. Although they are playing concerts for nearly six months straight, it is a quiet year in comparison to the band’s previous history. The change from Epic to ABC Records gives the band enough financial stability to allow them some time off from the road. Poco also makes its second visit to England and Europe late in the year.
