No doubt this is where we came about the saying of "I am going to See Madonna 
in Concert"  or the Rolling Stones or Tony Bennett or whoever.

Interesting analysis Jim, thanks.

 Reflecting back upon my own primary line of work over the years Booking 
Bands and Putting on Concerts I now realize that I visualize where and act would 
be best suited to perform and to what audience which helps me market them.

As a band leader musician I think we also must be able to visualize 
transporting our audience to the musical space we are trying to create, hence as you 
say we must look interesting enough to get them to stop and listen, to complete 
the whole musical experience.

We do have some deep thinkers and great minds on this list.

Cheers,

 Tom Wiggins
