I agree with David. Trying to correct stage-color lighting is
fruitless and near impossible. What's more, you'll lose too many stops
with filtration. I frequently shoot AWB in that situation and tweak to
my taste when converting the RAW.

I'm wondering about the feeling that you need to 'correct' for the
stage lights. No one expects the lighting to look natural at shows.
Don't worry about blowing individual channels. You are not shooting
under full spectrum conditions. If you are lucky, you get a spot on
the lead or whomever is doing the solo, and let the rest fall where it
will.

Ecke's post about filter enablement tickled on of my neurons.
One of the places that I tend to shoot bands has the stage lit with
about 4 orange and red lights, and two blue and one green.
Occasionally this will lead to a nice effect, but usually just
needs to be converted to B&W. Also, if I expose to not blow out
the red channel, the blue and green channels end up about three
stops under exposed, leaving me with 75% of my sensor sites way
under.
I've been thinking of trying to slap some blue filters on my camera
the next time that I shoot there, and realized that there's a good
chance that folks on this list might have some gathering dust in a
drawer, from the days when you needed to use a filter if you were
shooting with daylight film under tungsten lights.
