It is all about expectations. Expectations help us enjoy things that are intended to be enjoyed. This is why you dress up nicely and go to a fancy theater to see the orchestra play. It helps you enjoy the experience more. The fact that the guy is playing in public with no special pretense does nothing to further the prestige he's earned while playing in a completely different environment.

Edit: I should note that I read about this first in a book about behavioral economics, so I am not pulling that explanation out of my ass.
