We are so sad to hear that Eagles and Poco bassist Randy Meisner has passed away at the age of 77.
Prior to the Eagles, Meisner auditioned for California country rock band Poco in 1968. He competed with future Eagles member Timothy B. Schmit and Gregg Allman, but Meisner got the gig as the band’s bassist. Poco was also made up of former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina. Meisner stayed with the band until 1969 when he left and joined Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band.
