You will need to use a fast lens wide open and a ISO that is just enough to get the shutter speed you need.

The concerts I've shot, I have used ISO 1000 - 3200 with great results.

I normally shoot in manual mode, but aperture priority works well also.

 

Here are some links to my concert galleries, so you can look at the EXIF Data.

Hi Abdul, I've covered a few of them concerts and I must agree with Paul about the fast lenses.  Don't hold back using high ISO values, since you will be needing that fast shutter speed to avoid motion blur.  

Try checking out some of my concert pics here:

And one more thing, I never used speedlites at all ;)
