I had a notebook full of those back in high school.

There's an element a little deeper in those stage arrangements most people wouldn't realize...

A lot of those positional arrangements mirror the actual stereo separation used in their studio recordings.

Of course this was back when audio engineers actually panned instruments and vocals left or right to create space in arrangements rather than cramming everything into the mix like pouring a size 12 fat woman into pair of size 5 jeans...

And the reason why is simple. I bet a majority of bands want to treat the listener to a sound similar to their live sound, which means where they physically are onstage.
