...songs played at Boston Common on August 9 have in common a pervasive country flavor, the flavor that Furay sought in leaving the Springfield for Poco. The sets that used to begin with the irrepressible rock 'n' roll feeling of "C'mon," start with the shit-kicking, finger licking goodness of "Hoe- Down," in acknowledgement of Poco's antecedents, "Well, I'm goin' to a hoe-down--And kick up my heels--Go all night and never slow down--Yes, I love how it feels."

...problems with the organ's main amp, its Leslie tone cabinet, were confronted, and solved. Then, 30 seconds of silenced. Then, thunder, the massive chords of "Meeting of the Spirits," four of them, as though to alert the heavens that the show had begun. The piece's theme is finger-picked, on the 12 string neck of McLaughlin's double-necked Gibson. From there the group's soloists explored the theme's possibilities...
