Live concert settings?

[krazywake]

I'm going to be shooting some live concert footage when the superbowl crowd is in town in a couple weeks. I've never shot in this setting before (night time, moving stage lights, probably various colors) and am wondering what different frame rate/aperture/WB settings yield some good looks. I think I want to edge more on a music video/film look versus live video feed. Does 24P(a?) work well in these types of lighting conditions? I might be using my glidecam for some shots as well. Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Is it just you shooting or do you have crew?
You going to be mobile or stationary?
Coordinate with the sound guy for a mixed feed?

Now that I've answered your questions with more questions here are some tips that I might suggest:

24PA looks sweet for concerts.
I would either get with the lighting guy and balance on a "standard wash" or just run off an indoor preset assuming it's indoors/dark out. I see lots of concert footage that is overpowered with reds.
Depending on how long you are shooting you will get tired running the glidecam. If it's an upbeat show, the handheld look will work just fine.
