1 & 2 - A personal failing of mine is I'm not a fan of the tilted composition. There is subject blur and what appears to be camera shake as well, and possibly even missed focus - these things for me make it difficult to determine what is the subject and what I should be looking at.
3 & 5 - For me, the focus is in the wrong spot. I would think it should be on his face (and it would be best to have more light there too) or failing that on the colorful instrument at the bottom of the image but in this shot neither of these are in focus. Instead his fingers seem to have the best focus, but only part of his hand is visible.
4 - Too much blur / missed focus on the subject and his hair disappears into the black. The wall appears to have more focus and detail than the subject.
I looked at the exif data and it appears you were shooting a 50mm lens at speeds of 1/15, 1/40, and 1/50 of a second. If you had flash lighting the scene, you could get away with those slow shutter speeds because the flash would freeze the subject in the relatively dark ambient - without it, the blur and camera shake become visible. ISO were relatively low for these (800, 1000, 1600). I probably would have gone with high ISO, stop the apertures down a tad, and go with faster shutter speeds.
That said, not bad. I've been there and done that in poor lighting conditions and you have managed to capture the band and the mood that night.
