Poco got good very suddenly it seems. Some time between their first and second time they learned how to harmonize and began providing a very legitimate counterpart to CSN&Y, having less charisma than the LA charmers, but a more together flowing musical sound. This is a live album and it captures the group at their most bouncing moments.

Poco Lyrics

Poco Videos

- Billboard, 1971.

The first of two live albums, and consisting of mostly new material -- a major country-rock success, capturing not only the lyricism and upbeat approach of the band, but also the infectiously positive attitude of its fans. * * *

- Bruce Eder, The All-Music Guide to Rock, 1995.

Deliverin' is the live flipside of Poco's 1970 eponomously-named debut, and shows how powerful a live group it was, even at its start. * * * *

- Gil Asakawa, Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, 1996.
