Do you think you've been so influenced at live concerts? Sitting closer or farther away, I mean? nt

I have on several occasions attended multiple performances of the same concert from different seats and it has a huge impact

. . . it should make a general difference: sitting closer (at an orchestral concert) I become more aware of the high frequencies and the articulation of the instruments (bowing, etc.), and the textures generally become clearer. That's got to influence one's perception of the performance. But the reason that it's difficult to tell for sure HOW MUCH it influences my perceptions is that when I'm sitting in different locations in the hall, I'm at different concerts - IOW, I'm not able to change seats in the middle of a performance and compare. But to answer your question, I'm sure one's seating location must make a difference as far as the perception of the performance goes.

  For the last 5 years I have been attending the San Antonio Symphony at the old large Majestic theater. My seats were in the 5th row center. They have moved to a brand new concert hall called the Tobin Center. I am sitting in the exact same location yet the sound is totally different even though I am pretty close to the orchestra. Much greater reverberation and deeper bass response. A very warm romantic sound yet with plenty of detail. My past experiences with Orchestra hall in Chicago is the sound was vastly different depending where you sat. The first two rows of the lower balcony were the choice seats in that hall.
