Well, the example you just showed shouldn't show any highlighting. Your query is q=concord so it's trying to highlight "concord" which isn't in any of your documents. hl.q can be used to highlight something other than your q parameter.
I did notice in some of your other examples that you seemed to be searching for terms that were in the fields so I suspect this isn't really your root problem though. do note that fields _must_ be stored to have highlighting work. Is it possible that your matches are on fields that aren't stored? Let's build it up slowly though, try searching on one term in one field that you _know_ is stored and see if you get anything back. While the query with hl.fl=* and fl=field1, field2, should be fine, let's start as simply as possible and work up maybe?
