I had a chance to shoot Willie Nelson the other night. He was performing in Fort Worth, Texas. The stage lighting at the venue was low and bad for photography (orange, red).. so I decided to shoot the entire thing in BW. I've not shot a concert in BW only in over 20 years so I thought it might be fun and a learning experience. I used the internal Dynamic BW setting of the GF1, ISO 800 with the 45-20mm.
The GF1 probably performed better than I did. I was a fair distance from the stage and had to hand hold the camera for all shots, no monopod for this one. I think I can do better as I get to know the camera better. Normally I use my 5D and 70-200 L glass for such events.. I left it at home and only took the GF1 and 45-200. Not as good as the Canon 5D but quite respectable.
You can see the complete series of shots on my website: http://www.boxedlight.com under the GF1 section.
Here's a few samples:
