I guess with the spotlights on the performer, the Dynamic Range is too great for the iPhone? images always

Yes, control it manually with an app such as Camera +.
For concerts, manual control overrides the stupid automatic exposure control (which reads predominantly dark areas and tries to brighten them).
You have to set the exposure manually for performer skin tones. It helps to set the white balance manually, too, so colored lights don't keep shifting the white balance all over. 4800K is about right to start... Many of the LED stage lights are around that white point.

I no longer have the IPhone as I retire I had to return it to the company. Now I use the Samsung Galaxy S23 and I can adjust ISO, Shutter speed manually. Not the aperture like someone said they can with the Iphone.
The "adjustable aperture" of an iPhone isn't really an aperture, which is fixed. It is how much depth of field processing is applied to the image before it is saved. It's commonly called "AI" technology. iPhones and Macs now have neural engine processors and dedicated image processors to handle such tasks.

If you are using a Samsung try this: tap the spot on the screen where the bright spot is and the phone screen will darken. Tap a.dark spot and the view lightens. You should also get a kind of light bulb icon with a slider to lighten or darken the scene. Works great for sunsets too.

I do like the way Camera+ lets you set different focus and exposure points, plus it has a decent edit module for when I don’t want to mess with LR Mobile. You can control exposure with out it though, just tap your focus point and swipe down to decrease exposure, up to increase.
