So then perhaps the industry should put more effort into those
techniques instead of quickly resorting to simple 'pan-pot' mono with
a dozen or more mics and racks of fx. As I recall music is supposed
to come from a stage - not a small box with blinking lights &
knobs. 
On raw-tracks.com you will find some practice mixes I made with tracks I
purchased there. They are characterized by using real stereo engineering in
the mix process even though I do not state that in the on site notes.
To learn real stereo: get a pair of mics, an R44, a pair of mic cables and a
12 feet manfrotto stand and locate a chamber music society.
