I was looking at the Canon Powershot S90 and the G11, but I can't decide which one. They both seem pretty decent. Do you have any advice?

This allows you a lot of leniency with white balance (as well as correcting exposures), which is very useful given the usual concert lighting. That being said, I don't really have any experience shooting shows with point and shoots. One thing to consider is that several festivals I have shot recently won't let you in the photo pit without a "professional camera" which seems to equal a dSLR (basically, the requirement is that the camera has to have a removable lens). So if you're really looking into concert photography, it might be better to save up your pennies for a dSLR. @Anonymous
