You'd probably be the only person in the audience if he did that.
Creating a brand with completely original music isn't so easily done and making lightning strike near impossible, especially in this day.
There are a few outliers but even then they quickly get accused of plagiarism these days.
More often than none will you see bands, artists, musicals, movies created from an existing idea and expanding on it. Even then if you only consider original music such as Jim Steinman you can quickly find heavily inspired threads which I'm sure would be too much for some purists to consider original. See the use of the E Street Band members on Bat etc.
Are the likes of tribute bands for everyone? Nope, sure as hell not.
Can people have a great night, yes absolutely and this is better than sitting at home and worrying about who "has the right" to perform certain music and who hasn't.
