Nice to see it went ok :)
For the "red" if you shot anything in RAW you can change all that using the WhiteBalance (or Colour Temperature) Slider in the conversion program. If not, then it is a bit trickier... But you need to play with the colour channels in some way - how you do that depends on your editing program but basically you need to reduce the red channel and boost the other two slightly... it wont get it perfect but it will take away much of the colour cast. Or the quick and dirty method is to put a "Cooling filter" on the photo - in photoshop just add a "Photo filter" adjustment layer and the rest is obivous. However, a lot of band shots tend to look like this anyway - it seems "acceptable" from what i have seen of gig photography... tho how much you want to accept the "unacceptable" is up to you ;)
If you are shooting JPG i would suggest that next time you go out either shoot in raw (will need more cards then ;)) or "white balance" your camera to the lights (as long as they dont change too much - you will know if they do if all your photos have the same colour cast this time around).
