Just what is mixed into the other channels? The stage is always coming at you from in front of your position. Certainly, a multichannel mix does not include any instruments/vocals coming from anywhere other than the front right???? So, what is being channeled to the other channels - reverb, crowd noise what?

This is the essence of my question as well. For example, in the multi channel version of "Blood on the Tracks", one listener comments that the rear channels appear to have the same information as the front channels, but the rear channels are mixed in at lower volumes. Is this an attempt to create what a mic placed in the rear of the studio might have recorded had there been one in the studio?
