I'm still trying to come up with an American equivalent; a group or individual who was big here and was simply a dud trying to break into the UK market.

True, Beast! I managed to procure an SRO ticket for each night. You know the tix went on sale at
the strange and unexpected time of 1 am eastern US time, hmmm.
Thanks, paulywaul for your pics and review!
I wonder how many of their back-ups will make it to NYC.

There's a slew of American artists that are huge in the US and without any decent success in Europe. Dave Matthews is one of the biggest (and most rich) stars in the US, his last show in Amsterdam sold 600 tickets. All the big US country artists are basically unknown in Europe: Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire etc.

When I was a teenager and occasionally saw the US Tiger Beat, there were all sorts of apparently huge US bands in it that never made a dent in the UK, and as far as I know didn't even try--Paul Revere and the Raiders, Dino, Desi, and Billy, a bunch of others I don't remember.

But what really impressed me is how Ronnie prepared for this gig. I'm pretty sure he listened a lot to Jimmy Reed over the last few weeks, really worked on his signature licks, and even his guitar sound for this gig matched the original recordings. And of course his harp playing was sweet.
Mick Taylor was in fine form but did not seem so immersed into Jimmy Reed's universe.

Who plays guitar and knows music knows how stupid it is to compare Ronnie Taylor, is not only stupid but it is also useless, they are two completely different guitarists, Ronnie is more similar to the style of Brian.
Surely there are those who prefer the Stones with Brian, who with Taylor, and others with Wood, I love them all as they belong to different periods.
