I'm sorry to disappoint you, but thats not D60 kit lens, D60 comes with 18-55mm VR. But that 16-85mm VR is pretty nice looking lens, now I'm just waiting to see some pictures with it..

POP! Thats the sound of my happy bubble being popped.
Ah, that disappoints me!
Hi, guys. I just took my 85mm 2.0 AIs out tonight for a show to decide if I should keep it. Here's some shots I were happy with.
Pardon the softness of the images(Mostly camera shake and improper focus), this is my first time shooting a concert/club event, and I really plan on doing a lot more if I can get a camera in, so please critique and criticize! Thanks for looking.
BTW, all were shot with 85mm AIs 2.0 at f2, 1/30" and ISO 1000. EDIT: first two are w/50mm @ 1.8. Sorry about that.
Do you guys think it's a keeper?

The lighting is good, and framing as well. The crowd kinda works in that last picture, but it's a bit distracting in the first ones. Ever try just raising the camera above your head and doing a rough aim?

I think you need a faster shutter speed. A sharper photo but noisier is still better IMO.
As for the rough aiming, that' definitely takes some practice. There's no way to stabilize unfortunately so you'll need faster shutter speeds here. I would prefocus or manually focus and have focusing off when it's in the air.
I prefer to use wider angle since depth of field is deeper so there's more leeway in nailing the focus. Wide open and telephoto require more precision to get a sharp image.

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
For dark clubs like that, ISO1600's a minimum. 2400 or 3200 if you have them are preferable. It's impossible to get enough light to get the shutter speeds you want. The shots aren't bad per se, but you can see definite subject motion blur, which indicates that faster shutter speds are needed.
