F2.8 is plenty fast but I would not limit myself to 1 lens at a concert. I have shot plenty of concerts with slower than 2.8. I think you should be more than fine shooting iso 400 with a 2.8 lens

i'm sorry, but i cannot agree with this at all...other than not wanting to be limited to one lens. he emphasized "LOW LIGHT" in the original post....

i have shot many venues there just simply to dark to even THINK about using 2.8/iso400. there's just no way. it would make more sense to have more lens than you need than a lens that won't always work.

you can bump your Canon's ISO way up, but you're going to lose a good bit of detail & sharpness
