Well I don't think its an AP-only thing, if thats' where you're trying to go. I have at least one friend who's regularly moved like that at gigs - I should say, she's by far the most into music person that I know. She has a broad indie taste and is always guaranteed to know the latest bands etc. But put her in a My Bloody Valentine or Sigur Ros gig and stand back and wait for the tears to flow.
I think its a style of music thing too maybe? this lush, dark sort of sound the OP describes seems to lend itself particularly well to an emotional and moving experience when done really well live.
FWIW I've never been a major fan and from the description of the gig am now looking around for a show near me. Some acts you just have to see live.
