completely agree!
especially Jones Beach show seems to be the one everybody talks about, mostly people who were not actually at the show, and none of these things (such as behaving high / drunk, shipper stuff, whatever else) were seen by any of the people i was with...
although it is true you can hear better if someone's out of tune if you are a bit further away from the stage, because the sound is definitely not ideal right at the stage. however whether someone is happy, sober, drunk, high, angry, love-dovey, who are they interacting with and in what way, is something you can see when you are close to the stage, better than in videos. so i guess you can be at the same show and miss, see, or hear certain parts that you wouldn't if you are watching the same show from different parts of the venue. or you can get different impression if you are watching Stevie, Mick, Lindsey, John, or anyone else on the stage, because they all will have their own perception of the show.
