Perhaps that Gnosis show was the best thing to happen for while.
Not because it musically was fantastic - I certainly didn't enjoy some the music that for me sounded like somebody's gut being shattered over the speakers. I fled and listene to Ray wilson instead. But becuase it shows the passion people have for AM and prog in general. It gets them up form the seats and shout.
But R&R is right in the sense we have to be tolerant and listen to what other epople canlisten to. Since 170 listeners is about the maximum the loss of one possible prog fan can be negotiated.
No something different won't harm for a limited time only. One can always switch off
