Well that may be true now, but for a time in the 70s, Robin was about
as big as you could be.  His first 3 or 4 solo records are real gems,
and Robin had no trouble packing huge arenas back in those days.  I
think he [unfairly] was considered by some to be a one-trick pony, in
that he was thought to be a Hendrix clone.  I never got it myself, in
fact I always preferred him to Jimi...
