I guess a point in doing that is also to soften the loud acoustic, 
on-stage, impact of Giba's percussion?

You mean you don't walk over to the bar with headphones still on?  ;-)


A funny note on "latency":
When talking to studio engineers I have heard that some bands with a 
long experience of playing out live, can have problems with playing in 
the studio with headphones monitoring. They have simply grown 
comfortable with the natural latency in hearing each other's instrument 
acoustically, and "getting it all into your head" gives a different 
feel to how you play your own part against the other musicians parts.
