Loggins and Messina with Poco at Bethel Wood (Woodstock) August 2009

A real life planes, trains and automobiles (and throw in a bus and a cab) to get to Bethel Woods - the location of the Woodstock concert 40 years ago. The Woodstock museum was simply and completely captivating, really well done and even 2 1/2 hours didn't give me enough time to see everything. Well worth the trip just for that but to see Poco opening for Loggins and Messina was absolutely fabulous! The only disappointmemt was that I got so caught up in the show that I completely forgot to pull out my video camera and only took a few short clips. Sound quality is fair and the visuals suck but fortunately I'll see one or two more shows on the tour and get better footage for sure!! Jimmy and Kenny really did sound great, the band was beyond outstandning although one band member from the last tour was definitely missed but otherwise very, very good! My only complaint was the audience had a bunch of old farts and nobody was up on their feet dancing. I'm thinking "what the f---" but just got up and danced anyway. Hey it's a CONCERT and you go to have fun for goodness sake! Oh well....made a few enemies of the people sitting behind me but they could have got up off their fat, Khaki covered butts.
