Did you use flash? Did your camera make a shutter noise? Was it intrusive for the musicians or was the music so loud that it didn't make a difference?

Thanks skipper954.
I didn't use flash at all as all I have is the onboard flash. I had to up the ISO quite significantly for the 'darker' shots and to make sure that my shutter speed stayed above or around the 1/50th mark (to minimise motion blur), I also underexposed by one or two stops and recovered in RAW. The camera did make a shutter noise but really it didn't put the artists off (there were some people there using P&S with a flash throughout the sets) though I am sure they heard it when i was literally 10' away from them in the smaller gigs. The larger gigs (the darker shots) had about 300 there and though I was right at the front the artists wouldn't have heard the shutter.
