New Concert Pictures, would love some feedback

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I think I should just upgrade to the D90. I got the D40 because I wanted to practice on it, but IDK I feel like it is not taking me to where I want to go.

Anyways, since I have to turn these photos in, I went ahead and reedited them. Do they look less noisy? I tried using photoshop to reduce noise and didn't attempt to smooth the skin because obviously I was not good at that LOL. I think I changed the size, so please bare with me...

you have a natural intuition. capturing live music is an art form in itself. they look wicked.

Wow... no critique to add here, but am loving these last three you've posted, especially #1, and well, #3, due to the fact that she's wearing a Pink Floyd shirt (I'm a huge fan of Floyd) Good work IMO.
