Despite last year’s disaster, Poco does fewer live dates than 1976, due in part to the departure of Tim Schmit at the end of the summer when Randy Meisner’s departure from the Eagles creates an opportunity for him. The INDIAN SUMMER tour, part of which finds Poco supporting Dickie Betts and America is the last hurrah for the pre-LEGEND era version of Poco. Ironically, Richie Furay appears at one of the last shows of the tour – his first appearance with Poco since his departure.
