The Evolution of Live Prog

I've been watching old concerts on Youtube recently, and I've noticed a cool anomaly:

Pink Floyd, 1969


Curved Air, 1971


Genesis, 1973


Jethro Tull, 1977


Camel, 1984


It seems like the more Prog aged, the more the light shows went away! If you search, you can find videos of prog musicans playing just in suits without any theatrics all over the place as early as 1970.
