You're right, but it's the same really with any genre. Pick the top acts and they'll always fill stadiums. Go for smaller, lesser known ones, not so much. George Benson, Lionel Ritchie or even Diana Ross could fill arena-size stadiums many times over, even today. Maverick Sabre? Not a hope. Does that mean that soul is on the decline?

Note: this question is not addressed to you, but as a general rebuttal of the whole "prog bands can't sell tickets so prog is dead" nonsense that this uninformed and somewhat trenchant supposed fan is going on about. Or was. Seems he has left us now. May Anderson be praised, and may Gabriel bless and keep you.
