They still have to act reasonable and in a non-negligent manner. In fact, bouncers/security often have a dual-edged sword because they have to provide a reasonably safe environment on one hand, but can't use force beyond what's reasonable in any given circumstance. They can even be sued (or criminally charged) if their actions go well beyond negligence and become intentional.
I don't know whether lawsuits came out of any of them, but I've seen plenty of videos of band members yelling at security or physically trying to prevent them from roughing up someone in a mosh pit or crowd-surfing.
