Plus thumb, man, it's wonderful to think you could seclude yourself in the secret chamber under the altar, but who wants that! I need to see and be seen!

Also-- the "hands-on" nature of contending with the oft-times improvisatory nature of performances nearly dictates that you be watching the action unfold, keeping a careful eye on the performers and your own gear, and not in that order.

The only point of having headphones on anyway is to tell that a clean, healthy signal is being captured-- you don't have to decide anything on the spot.
