Hello everyone, I am shooting an indoor rock concert tonight and was wondering what the best settings on my camera would be to use. I shoot with a Canon 7D and use a 18-135mm IS lens 3.5-5.6, I don't have any faster lenses or telephoto lenses, so with what I have could you let me know what I can do to achieve outstanding results. Thanks...
what kind of concert? If it's a rock concert make sure camera's are permitted and if so sometimes they don't allow professional camera's w/o a special pass.

x2, make sure you can take your camera, it would suck to get to the venue and have go back and leave your expensive camera in the car...or drive back home.
With that lens, if you wanted to let the camera do most of the work, I would..... Set my camera to Av mode (Aperture Value Priority) and set my Aperture to 3.5/5.6. The set your ISO to A for auto.
Ideally you would have a much faster lens for that type of environment, a 35L and maybe 135L would be fun to carry for a concert. maybe a 70-200 f2.8 (they can get heavy)......
Like what I mentioned earlier I shoot with a Canon 7D and use a 18-135mm IS lens 3.5-5.6, I don't have any faster lenses or telephoto lenses. I don't have any money to rent or purchase fast lenses.

Thank you for all of your comments. The concert was fun but the lighting was terrible and I got the shots I wanted but I wasn't really satisfied on how they turned out.
