Poco - Sagebrush Serenade (1974) www.youtube.com
Some excellent guitar-pickin' in this tune.
imo, Poco is most under-rated.

#5 | Posted by Corky I saw Jethro Tull in 1982 at the Omni. It was a very good show, refreshing and simple compared to some of the concerts of the time. They wore animal suits and ran around in a circle under a strobe light for Bungle In The Jungle. I was tripping.

Hank Williams

It was played at the end of the movie "The Last Picture Show"; which I thought was a very appropriate ending for that movie. youtu.be

The only band I saw 3 times in the 70s was Tull; Ian Anderson was the reason I started playing the flute (no, not that kind, Clowny!) with guitar and sax playing friends in college. We did a mean version of Wooden Ships, lol.
Also a Ray Thomas and Ian McDonald fan.

... A late (1969) Flower Power 60's rebellion genre English hit. Produced by Pete Townshend of The Who, who also played bass guitar on the recording. [Verse 1] Call out the instigators Because there's something in the air We got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here And you know it's right And you know that it's right We have got to get it together We have got to get it together now [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Lock up the streets and houses Because there's something in the air We got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here, And you know it's right And you know that it's right We have got to get it together We have got to get it together now [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Hand out the arms and ammo We're gonna blast our way through here We got to get together sooner or later Because the revolution's here And you know it's right And you know that it's right We have got to get it together We have got to get it together now ...
