Poco 1989-1990

Poco lives as the LEGACY album project reunites the original lineup. Richie Furay stays only for the spring tour supporting Richard Marx. He pulls out of the summer LEGACY tour and is replaced by Jack Sundrud. The band uses David Vanecore on keyboards for both tours. Poco does promotional tours of Britain and Europe and plays a short tour of Japan, the band’s first appearance there.
