Exactly! They are not listening.
This does not really apply to the acoustic purists but I blame MTV (only
partly) for helping to encourage the mindset that music is something you
watch (insert LSD joke of choice here).
More than once I've told a critic to close their eyes and tell me if they
hear music. Friends used to think (when I was onstage or when we'd go to
gigs as audients) because I kept my head down and eyes closed I was having
a miserable time when in reality I was actually listening (and usually
enjoying myself immensely).
Years ago when my former band was in the midst of an improvisation, a
young lady (who I assume was chemically altered) came up to the side of
the stage and "exposed herself" to the band. I was completely unaware of
this until the end of the set when we stopped playing and another band
member told me about it.
Hmmm... on second thought maybe I should keep my eyes open more often
onstage.
