I think you've done very well, and without using grainy b&w!. My own
attempts at shooting a rock musician friend weren't nearly as successful.
I find it very hard to get good colour balance, but you have succeeded.

Just a link to give you a hint of what I've done during my weekend.

It is a two days event with 16 Norwegian bands. I joined at day two. We
where a team of three photographers, shooting wild. We shot jpg, and
loaded
them directly into a laptop. No time for tweaking. Even though I had
trouble
with my back/leg (sciatica trouble, Codeine kept me going) it was great
fun.
The selection is made by a web man. The pictures with file name imgp are
mine. When writing this post mine is the 18 pictures at bottom of page.
Most
of my pictures he has selected is pretty mediocre. I hope the web man
will
select some other pictures, he has left out my best shots.
Despite of this I do submit the link, as a comment to the threads on
stage
shooting. All pictures are shot handheld, most of them using a monopod.
The
monopod is half ejected, placed standing in lens holder placed in my
belt.
This is pretty stable, but allows me to move fast in crowds. Most of the
close-ups are shot with my "new" VS1 70-210, mostly manual focus, but my
1,7x AF converter also was handy. The rest is with the fast normal zooms
from Sigma/Tamron, mostly using AF (rock musicians at large stages tend
to
move fast and unpredictable).
Comments?

Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian.)
Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds
(Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke, or some other clever guy)
