Hi Ian,
I first heard Floyd live in 69 and thought they were loud and unmusical
I then heard them love again in 1994 - the sound and performance was totally different and beautiful.
I appreciate that DSotM came out in the early 70's and stayed at the top for almost ever - it took Sid to leave to spark the change.
But for me the live performance took 20 odd years to come about and show the difference.

Two different “animals” . Sorry couldn’t resist .
You could say that there were 3 different stages . Syd B led , Roger W led and then Dave G .
Take your point about the level of live performance , but equipment was much better in the Gilmour era and they had been playing together for a considerable time . The Gilmour era albums were to polished for me as were the concerts .Roger Waters said at the time , a good copy of what a Floyd album should be . -
Growing up in London in the 70s ….
good times . Astoria , Roundhouse , Marquee , Wembley and the good old Hammersmith Odeon . Music was a big part of my life (and still is )
My list …
Deep Purple , Hawkwind , Rainbow , whitesnake , UFO , Rush , Motörhead , Pink Floyd , Black Sabbath …
When the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (nwobhm ) kicked off …
Angelwitch , Iron Maiden , Wytchfynde , Tank , Saxon , Fist , Gaskin …to name but a few .

Decca was much more than just cheap music systems and records Charlie. To quote Wiki:
The Decca Radar company was a British manufacturer of radar systems. There were originally two divisions, Marine and Heavy Radar, with separate product lines. The latter was sold to Plesseyin 1965, and the term "Decca Radar" normally refers to the Marine division. That division remained with Decca until 1979 when it purchased by Racal to form Racal-Decca. After a series of further mergers and purchases, from 2000 the division is part of Northrop Grumman.
Decca is best known for its marine radars, starting with 1949's Type 159. Their most successful line was the 1970s Bridgemaster series which continued sales into the 2000s. Under Plessey, the company was particularly successful in the US pleasure boat market. The Heavy Radar division produced the AMES Type 80 radars for the Royal Air Force, and used that technology to develop the Decca HF200 height finder radar. This led to the Decca Air Surveillance Radar, which spawned a number of adaptations for civilian and military use.
Famously turned down the Beatles , but made good with the Rolling Stones .

The main problem …as I see it …. Is that you cannot predict what the nutter / psychopath in Russia is going to do or what he wants to achieve .
History has seen plenty of his kind .

Are we heading for another war ??
With Biden saying a “little incursion “ would be fine ( with a sudden change of mind ) …..sound familiar ??
China flexing its muscles with Taiwan …
The world seems rather unsettled . Mind you I don’t ever think there’s ever been a time when the world has not been in any sort of conflict ….but Putin seems to be pushing for a conflict .

Careful Roger ….every time Baldrick said that he ended up in all sorts of trouble !!
