RANDY MEISNER CONCERT CHRONOLOGY

Last Updated: June 15, 2011

1961

Meisner forms the Dynamics with Larry Soto, Richard Rohnke, and John Ankeny

1962

Rohnke leaves for the military late in the year. The band adds Paul Asmus on saxiphone and changes its name to Drivin' Dynamics. After a successful New Year's Eve show, John Ankeny announces he's leaving to join the Navy.

1963

Larry Soto's brother, Bobby is recruited to join the band.

1964

As their popularity continues to grow, they expand the group by including Dave Margheim on lead guitar and Steve Cassells on piano.

1965

1966

Meisner joins the Denver band, the Soul Survivors after losing to them in a Battle of the Bands in February. They play a few local gigs before packing up and leaving for California. They arrive and begin rehearsing as the North Serrano Blues Band but adopt the name The Poor when they signs with Greene and Stone for management.

1967

Late in the year, Randy Naylor decides to leave the struggling band. The Poor reaches back to Colorado and recruits former Moonraker, Veeder Van Dorn. The Poor manages to establish a brief residency at the Magic Mushroom in Ventura but nothing else clicks for them.

1968

The Poor crumbles to an ignominious end. They have managed to survive by serving as session men for Curt Boettcher's multiple pop projects such as Millineum. But it is not enough. In the summer of 1968, Meisner auditions for a band being put together by former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina. He is pleased to find former Boenzee Cryque guitarist Rusty Young is part of the band. He gets the job and joins Pogo.

1969

After a dispute over mixing of Poco's first album, Meisner abruptly leaves the band. He is approached by Rick Nelson about putting a band together for him. Meisner recruits former Poor members Allen Kemp and Pat Shanahan. They initially have Sneaky Pete Kleinlow on steel guitar, but he departs for the Flying Burrito Brothers. Buddy Emmons takes over but is unwilling to commit full-time. Former Buckaroo Tom Brumley is recruited late in the year.

1970

After the Stone Canyon Band's return from Europe, Meisner quits the group. Rick replaces him with former Raider Phil "Fang" Volk. Meisner wants a more steady income and considers sessions work. When that is a dry hole, he begins to form a new group, called Goldrush, with Steve Love and Dan Rossi. But the effort does not result in anything fruitful.

1971

At Rick Nelson's request, Meisner returns to the Stone Canyon Band. He stays long enough to record another album with Nelson but quits again. He returns to session work and works on Linda Ronstadt's album for Capitol. He is invited by John Boylan to join Ronstadt's backing back, which includes Glen Frey and Don Henley. They eventually decide to form their own group and become the Eagles.

1972

After a low-key debut, the Eagles spend the bulk of their first year opening for a host of English bands. Their debut album spawns three chart singles and gives them the basis for headline status by the end of the year.
