How can it sound real to have Elton John pumping out of every corner of the room? Sound at the right frequency is directional and therefore it can only have one source. unless youve been totally enveloped by Elton John (noooo dont even think about it!!)
Yes i am one of those people that believe digital sound is inferior to analogue. The human ear is an analogue device

First of all, all properly recorded concerts are multi-tracked. That means the level of each instrument can be played back independently at whatever volume, through whatever speaker. They almost always have a few tracks dedicated to recording the crowd. So when the song starts up, the instruments came through the front, and the crowd noise comes from behind. It makes for a really immersive environment.
Also, some larger venues have speakers at the rear, so it isn't uncommon to have sound coming from behind you as well. Also, the rear speakers can be used to playback a faux-echo effect of the front, giving a much more realistic 3D depth to the sound that you can't do with 2 speakers.
