Looks like you're on the right track with your observation.

As you have described your captures, you should have added exposure 
compensation to you images in-camera.
This histogram needs the captured data to be spread across the horizontal axis, 
not gathered as it is on the 
LH side.
In PS, setting the white point and dark point will minimize the color cast.

Subject: Speaking of exposure....

Here's one of the (rather crappy) shots from the play Wednesday night:
http://www.donsauction.com/pdml/UnderExp.htm with histogram.

Forgive the composition, the girl in the middle is the neighbor.
(Had to shoot from the back, to short FL, yada yada, excuses.)
And the lovely mixed Tungsten/Fluorescent/Sodium lighting. :-(

This was at ISO1600 on the D with Matrix (CW with this lens)
metering. M200/4 at 4.

This is straight from RAW to web, full frame
All of the shots that night with 3 lenses were underexposed
by 1 or more stops. The other 2 lenses were FA's.
Had the LCD off as usual so I never looked at the histogram.

Any ideas what went (or I did) wrong?

Don
