    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”
