That's precisely what you were claiming, Donkey.

I had said that their career had gone into a decline in 1970. You brought up their Summer replacement tv show to show that it had not.

Obviously you've come to realize that it had.

We all know that the British Invasion brought most of the acts of the 1950s down, then the new wave of American artists such as Bob Dylan made it worse for The Everly Brothers and others of that era.

That was back around 1964 or so, though.

The 1970 tour was obviously an attempt at a comeback for the Everly Brothers, and thus, a "big deal".

But being a nationally broadcast television show, it was a "big deal", making the Everly Brothers accessable to millions of viewers.

The 1970 Everly Brothers tour actually began before the television show, as the newly discovered tour list shows.

It was a good plan, and was obviously a big deal at the time, although in the end it obviously didn't work.

And so it goes.

A comeback plan is a big deal, yes.

Yes, an attempted comeback is definitely a big deal.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out for the Everly Brothers in 1970, but a network television show was definitely a big deal, being broadcast nationwide to millions of potential viewers.

Here's the post that started you off:

MMP: One should also bear in mind that the Everly Brothers' career had bottomed out by 1970... so it is conceivable that they would have been performing at the Hog Sloppers' Hoedown in Columbus.

DONKEY: Not exactly. The Everly Brothers actually had their own network television show in the Summer of 1970:

The failure of which gives us all the more reason to conclude that their career had bottomed out.

But as I've said, I'm sure that it was a big deal to someone from Columbus.

In Summer of 1970 the Everly Brothers had a network television show, a live double album and a concert tour, so at that point the Everly Brothers were far from bottomed out.

And so it goes.

So in 1970, they were on a downward slide toward what proved to be the low point of their career.

In a desperate attempt to revive their flagging career, they signed on for a Summer replacement tv show and cut a promotional album for it (neither of which was successful), and began a tour of small Southern towns including Columbus.

That's what I've been saying from the start, but... whatever.

You portrayed the Everly Brothers as already at the bottom, which they were not quite at.

If the Everly Brothers Show had been popular enough, it could have been put on the next season schedule.

For example, that is what happened with the Glen Campbell Show.
