Yeah, standing at a digital mixing desk with the blue screen of death and 
simply rebooting it is so much more embarrassing than standing in front of an 
analogue mixing desk where half the channels are on fire from burnt capacitors 
and the other half got soaked with beer from some drunk metal fans and there 
is no second console for backup.


Honestly I am dreaming of doing live mixing digital in that the converters and 
the mixing pc/rack are on stage and both the monitor- and the foh-mixer only 
have control surfaces connected via network and a single (stereo-)channel 
transmitted to them for their headphones should they need it.
Free advantages: When your foh-surface fries up, the monitor guy will be able 
to fill in for you. For smaller and more "arty" gigs your foh console can be a 
small hand-held connected via wireless 8-)

Maybe I should start my own business...
