Of course for your purposes, 35mm makes a whole lot more sense, but for mine as a wannabe Ansel Adams, MF or LF makes a sense too.

Entirely true. Because of course with a 6X9 negative you don't need to do much of a blow-up to produce a sizable picture with great detail.
But yeah, using a medium format camera in concert situations would likely make me very unpopular ( I've had my moments of negative feedback from audience and performers...even while using a Leica...) and might result in a lot of missed shots.
It's a matter of tradeoffs, I guess...
