...Concert. Simulcast rock concert with picture on the screen and sound in four-track stereo on WBCN-FM radio, features the Hollies, Loggins and Messina and Billy Preston from Santa Monica, Calif. CH. 5. 11:30 p.m. Color...
Paranoia, Political paranoia, the kind you get when you see a fascist behind every rock.

Besides, Laquidara's liner notes to their live album, Deliverin', are as adequate a description of Poco as any I've ever seen, "Laughing- eyed, high-bouncing Poco--creating images of green hills, amber fields, rolling white clouds, and a balanced planet...
