Good article, thank you for sharing.

I photoshoot concerts for some time few thing i would added to his article :

• Have powerbar in your bag, my logest concert was last over 12 hours, two stages, non stop. (Rockstar and powerbars did the job for that day)

-Have more that one earplug set in your bag, many times i share them with security guys or other phtographers, best way to make freinds

-About friends, don't be afraid to speak with security and stuff, make friends.

-If possible meet the preformers before, friendly chat. That will help them interact with you at stage.

-Smile, be friendly

-Good Gear does matter

-Extra memory cards, normal concert I am using at list 3 cards 32Gbt each, extra power. Can afford second camera, get it. Set one with Tele lense, second with wide or 50mm.

-If preformer just standing, not activly moving, use creative camera position, till it slightly add action.

-No flash on concert, but keep with you. many times i was asked to take fotos after concerts.

-Outdoor concert, be sure to get emergency plastic camera protector.. just in case

-Respect everyone

 

I need to write some day what in my bag, so what you have in your bag?

 

List can be long. I have few concert fotos on my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/geekatplay ) if you intrested to see them.
