To defend myself ;>) I would say that I get into positions, and get images, which are just not possible during concerts but the downside is that I get empty seats. The piano is large (this one is a 9.5ft Steinway Concert Grand) and if I get it in shots I lose the face amongst the piano and my aim are jazz portraits. People who know jazz know who the subjects are - if you were to photograph e.g. Sinatra you would not expect to see his voice in the image but you would see his face.
