Ah, but it shows that you can never get to the best seats
if a recording is going on as its already taken with the
microphones..

Ears aren't microphones and microphones aren't ears. So, the best place for
humans to listen and microphones to record are usually two different places.

OK I know iits not so, but it does make one wonder whether on a really
good sounding recording, exactly
where the mics are, and if you were there, would it sound
as good.

Generally not.
