Have had the opportunity to shoot at a local Back Stage Music Event held each Friday evening for a few hours. It's cheap at $5.00 per show but the lighting, while decent is not great so as not to fry either the musicians or audience members.
In most cases, I am shooting between ISO 6400 and 12,800 with the desire to try for ISO 8000. I am shooting the Nikon D810 and in most cases the Nikkor 80-400 4/5.6 as getting close to the stage is difficult when the audience participates by dancing. I bring a small stepstool to get a bit of a height edge. 1/160 down to 1/10 all handheld as mono/tripods are not allowed.
