I was at a concert 2 weeks ago and had my d70 with me. I took a lot of shots. I did everything hand held, and mostly without flash. I have 2 pictures here the first no flash, but at ISO 1600. The second I used the flash and dropped the ISO down to 400 or 800 I can't remember exactly. My question is what would you all of done?

I'd have tried no flash because I'd want to capture the stage lighting hitting the subjects.
But someone here - Toad? - posted some concert shots using fill flash and they were pretty effective.
How'd you get into a concert with your D70?

I agree that no flash is optimum for concerts. In my case, the stage was very dimly lit, and the band members moved very fast.
Was the flash lighting good? No.
Was the action capture good? Yes
With good light I would have done it differently. You need to appraise your situation each time, I think.
