I can't imagine why you would use a windscreen on stage. Noone in a crowded
bar or stadium will notice that there is non-singing sound coming through
the microphone like wind or crickets or god-forbid, crowd noise.
I have used them in recording for vocals and harmonica. It's mostly so the
really nice condenser mic's don't pick up unwanted sound on the recording
(because they pick up EVERYTHING), there will be enough work done just
editing out your breathing and other sounds that you can't get away from.
