@ panda: seeing your bedroom helps you imagine the performers being there in front of you? Lucky you

I don't think that closing your eyes automatically means you're imagining a performance. I find that the visual information gathered by keeping eyes open can sometimes be a source of distraction to the music. When I close my eyes, the only thing I "see" are the sounds (better visualisation of every note, NOT a scenery with people playing music).

That being said, I like to keep my eyes open too. Either to enjoy the very warm and dim light of my bedside lamp, or to avoid falling asleep.

100% with eyes closed and totally focused on every detail of the music. That is why I am so picky about headphones!
