#6 and #13 are some great shots.
There are few photos which are very much out of focus or unsharp because of too slow shutter speed. And some nagging about on the framing; in my opinion guitar necks should not be cut. on #14 the background is very disturbing.

May I guess: the lighting on stage was very poor?

#5 and 9 are nice, 13 is best by a margin...
Curious about why you selected some images: No offence, but # 7, 10, 11 and 12 for instance, I wouldn't have displayed: They bring down the entire set...
People tend to remember 1 bad shot rather then 3 good ones ;)

I like 9 and 13 for the action... the black and white works well with those pics but I agree with Rene, some pics are really a bit blurred and out of focus, would have left those out.

I also support the opinion that one should disregard blurry pics.
Apart that, I find numbers 2, 6, 7, 10, 14 sort of a common. 14 also suffers from mic covering the guy's face, and the another guy writing SMS in background definitely is not relevant.
The most interesting IMO -
5 - not really top technically, but the waterfall from musician's head is unusual capture (at least in my opinion)
8 - funny hand, which looks at least unusual
9 - hairwaving is really difficult to shoot, so here is a good capture of that
13 - "rock atmosphere" captured well;

also, number 1 might be stopped down I think.
