Poco at the Taste of Minnesota Festival in St. Paul occurred on July 3, 1990 at the State Capitol. It was a food and music festival which started in 1983. Over 40 food vendors set up booths or tents, and several stages had musicians entertaining the Festival goers. From 1983 until 2002 the event was held at the State Capitol Mall in St. Paul and always ended with fireworks.
On July 3, 1990, Poco had two shows on the Main Stage – at 5:30 and 8:30. Randy and George are trying to compete for the flashiest outfit.
A couple weeks later Poco had an appearance at Club Eastbrook in Grand Rapids, MIichigan, on July 19.

Love the picture you found of this Poco concert. I would have loved to have seen them.
Ohh, me too! I bet they were so good up on stage.
