that would be nice... I think in a few years, hardly anyone will 
still use monitors on stage...

When I play with Giba, we use ordinary good big headphones and no monitors.
It may look a bit odd, but, so what...
Its not only to avoid the feedback from the monitors, but to get a 
better idea of the mix: If you play a strong acustic instument, you 
hardly can tell by the monitor, how loud you play it into the loop.

I wrote about that in "Looping percussion" or similar, in the LD 
playing hints archive...
