Audience vs. performer perspective

You definitely hear from a different perspective when you're "in the band" than when you're seated out in the hall. When you're singing behind the orchestra, there is probably a wall not far behind you, and a high ceiling above, so you're getting almost as much reflected sound as direct sound from the orchestra, and are immersed in the ambience. The best "stereo" sound I've ever heard live is with the fiddler on my left, the flute player on my right, and the guitar in my lap. Sitting up close to an orchestra (or a big brass band), you just get overwhelmed with the sheer massiveness of the sound: there is "imaging" of where the instruments are, but those images are BIG, not pinpoint. Mid-hall or further back, it's more like big mono. That's where too much reflected sound can muddy up the direct sound from the stage.
