It was a series of shows put on in Idaho and Washington on 8-32 and 9-1&2-01.
It was one night in St. Marie's , Idaho one night in Moses Lake, WA and one night in spokane, WA.
There was also a show done by the Paul Cotton Band- which included Paul's son on drums and John thaler playing bass (I believe) and a fourth person whose name escapes me.
I came very close to going but couldn't find a reasonable flight at the last minute.
I did get to what some called Pocofest in CA in July 2003. that included Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen , Richie & Scott Sellen opening and Richie sitting in with Poco for part of the set.
One show was at the Orange County Fair then the next night at the Canyon Club followed by a show the third night at Humphrey's in San Diego. We had people there from the UK, a number of us from the East Coast and even one fan who flew in from Japan for the weekend.
It was a hard to forget trip for me personally- the music and time spent with new and old friends was special but the part that made it most memorable for me was the heart attack I had while stranded in Detroit due to bad weather.
