How Many Listeners Here Listen Mostly With Eyes Closed?

Even at live concerts I am listening with eyes closed about 80% of the time.

Closing my eyes keeps me from “hearing the speakers” with my eyes. The soundstage expands and fills in. Years ago my classical guitar teacher taught me to spend part of a concert not looking at the Performers. This lets you focus exclusively on the music.

At a live show, it depends on the venue and style. I've been told that it's rude to sleep (I wasn't) and been checked for a pulse (it was there) but it's rough to be grooving and moving to fleetwood mac with eyes closed
