Fifty years in hi-fi? And how long have you been a performing musician?
I find that listening with my eyes closed provides the opportunity to mentally focus on the music much better. Although, I will admit that most of the time at live events, I want to SEE the musicians as well as HEAR them. I mean, who doesn't want to WATCH Doc Severinsen while he shows us how it's done?!
It's common knowledge that our senses are inter-connected, and that by disconnecting them during an event or as an exercise, we are able to hone and improve them, which typically results in greater enjoyment and/or understanding of the topic at hand.
When listening seriously and not particularly caring about the visual aspect, eliminating the visual distractions is a HUGE benefit.
