In many ways, it appears Poco has fallen off the map this year. Atlantic Records had lost interest in the group, and Poco felt the disinterest. Kim Bullard had returned to the Crosby, Stills, Nash backing band, so a new keyboardist was needed. Rick Seratte, a musical acquaintance of Charlie Harrison, joins the band on keyboards. Harrison lasts only a couple of shows before he is fired. Poco does quick auditions and selects local LA club musician Jeff Steele as Harrison’s replacement. This tour reflects the puzzle that Poco’s career has become as they play more upscale venues during the summer, but also play those out-of-the-way clubs. By the end of the summer, Rusty and Paul dismiss their band and physically move to Nashville to reboot Poco.

| August 5, 1984 | Rainbow Music Hall | Denver, CO | Randy Dunn | One show at 8:00 p.m. A correction to the database. This show was Charlie Harrison’s final show with Poco.

| August (UD), 1984 | Park West | Chicago, IL | I’m starting to think that Jeff Steele’s memory was a bit off since this show doesn’t seem to have been performed. Perhaps Steele’s first Poco show was in Green Bay, and the taxi ride was from Green Bay to Milwaukee. | |
