Default You need a high quality lense

To be successful with concert photography you need to really know what you are doing in terms of waiting for the proper lighting, use the correct film (fujipress 1600 or 800) but most of all you need high quality lenses that have a very large minimum aperature. You need to understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperature, and lighting in relationship to the subject being blurry. Most consumer lenses, especially on the average point and shoot cameras are not going to score you high quality pics from the FM concerts - they just do not allow enough light through at shutter speeds that are sufficient at freezing the motion and your own hand movement.
