My opinion of the phenomenon of the desire for the darker files boils down to a very simple scenario:
People want a tiny little 1x12 full range*ish* driver loaded cabinet that's within close proximity to them and pointed at their face to sound like an '?'x12 cabinet that's further away from them and pointed at their knees.
As Yek noted, the Live-n-Loud stuff is to allow nit-picking of this face blasting where traditionally you get whatever the house crew gives you, if anything at all. The FOH guy is probably going to want something in the SM57 USA or Brit Modern 7-9 range, I'd wager, so while not absolutely necessary, you could send a different feed that way as in post #37.
