That was my first and last time shooting the whole concert with Canon’s 50mm prime. When you’re close to the stage, you can make only 1/2-portraits of the musicians (the angle is not wide enough). When you’re 2-3 steps away from the stage, the picture is filled up with heads, hands, and legs of fans. 50mm will help you in a very low lighting (depending on the situation), but can hardly be your general purpose lens for shooting concerts.
