2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Ive seen alot of DJs who did really good sets. Saw one DJ do their set blindfolded. A couple live bands. Which would have been between Weird Al and Video Games Done Live for the best.
But without a doubt. Insane Clown Posse put on the best show. I saw them in an underground nightclub. That had plastic everywhere to try and protect the electronics. There was a lake of Faygo in the center of the dance floor, feathers everywhere, and the clear smell of a burnt electronics.
I have opinions on this. DJs rarely have concerts. They might have a good stage performance going on around them and they provide the music, or they are using a turntable as an instrument (cut chemist for example)
Another exception is a DJ that picks up instruments throughout their songs. I’ve seen sax, guitars, trumpet, and various drums get used that turn an otherwise club dj into a concert
Last is the producer using various pieces of equipment to create music and not using any real mixing or turntable. These are just mid-labeled as DJs and fall outside of the scope of the above comments. Daft Punk might be the most well known mislabeled “DJ”
For me if they are ACTUALLY mixing then and there, thats good enough to be called a live show for them.
If they recorded in advance then just hit play. Not so much.
Actual mixing isn’t hard nor is it very fun to watch. Live show? Ok but I wouldn’t call it a live “concert”
