Okay, I'd start with:

Shoot in Av mode, ISO as high as you can stand, RAW and spot metering (or center weighted if you don't have it).

Shoot in continuous burst mode and fire a few off at key moments (big drum rolls....foot on the monitor guitar solos, Roger Daltry-style mic stand shenanigans etc.)

Keeping chimping to a minimum, you'll miss shots, but check every now and then that the settings are working and take masses of storage and a spare battery!

Cheers,
