Bob, I think the main issue is composition; Which is not that easy to correct.
Great moment though.  
Re: Not sure how to PP this muso
The hands are sharp but not the face. I would carefully apply more sharpening and probably increased contrast to the face alone, being careful not to push it to far and introduce haloes or artifacts. I'd also darken some specific regions in the background, particularly to the left where the eye teds to be drawn by superfluous light tones, and perhaps a little bit of the flare on the drums at bottom right. I think you can also make him brighter except for the inner right collar and then you might perhaps need to also slightly adjust his contrast.
