Hello.
Nice that you are going to the consert, BUT you haven't been to many gigs, not trying to make it on video??

If you want to film it, then you should NOT be standing in the front row. Why????
It's simple as amen in church. It's NOT allowed to film conserts, and they would spot your camera right away, and take it and kick you out of the venue. So, it's not a good idea.

Even if it was allowed, it would be a bad place to stand, as the crowd would be standing there and having fun and moving all the time, so you wouldn't be able to keep your camera still, which lead that the fiming would end up bad.

The best way to film is therefore, to stand a bit away from the stage, where you don't get disturbed, or on the balkony (if there is one) to hold the camera steady, and NOT make the same mistake many do, to zoom in the guitarist, drummer and so on every minute. That is just so boring, if you zoom, do it, but not all the time, and zoom in carefully, not in 100 miles an hour!

Also stand between some bigger guys who can cover you from the crews watching eyes and be alert, don't let them see anything that can make them see your camera, such as red recording lights lamps on your camera and so on.

I don't know that place so i don't know how it is, but i can think it's a small club or something, so it will hopefully be well crowded, and if you stand in the front, people will be touching you and push you and so on, and that will appaear on the result, then it's better to stand a bit behind where it's less people and not so crowded, then you can keep your camera still.

On bigger venues it's best if you sit, either have the camera in your knees or on stative to keep it steady. Not wrong that it's far away, just zzom in so you get the stage well covered.

Good luck
