yeah i dont always aim to shoot at 1.8 for the bokeh lol. and that picture of the silhouette is at f/2.2
Silhouette makes sens that you didn't get sharp since there is no light. Your camera probably just had a hard time focusing. I agree with the tripod and live view focusing though. It's more of an effort than just hand held shots but getting the shot should be more important at that point. Plus you can even shoot at a lower ISO too and get a more clear and less noisy shot. You just have to make sure your model is super still.
Just try at f/2.8. Jack up the ISO if need be and just get to a higher shutter number. It's hard at times and even more frustrating at concerts. I was shooting at f/2.0 at ISO 4000 and I was getting like a shutter speed of 1/250 or something like that. It's super hard getting shots with that setup.
