Subject: [Leica] What to use for concert photography?

I've done a lot of concert photography.  I found that Image Stabilisation 
isn't very useful because it has no effect on subject movement; you still 
need to have high shutter speeds to freeze the action.  A DSLR with good 
high ISO noise characteristics makes a lot of sense for shots with longer 
lenses.

In smaller venues I can often get very close to the performers and use an M7 
or M8 with 50/1 or 35/1.4.

Most people can only judge of things by the experiences of ordinary life, 
but phenomena outside the scope of this are really quite numerous.
