The second sentence should be "Then ADjust it as a B&W..."

Since the "straight color" rendering is just a mono image in blue, why
not pull out just the blue channel and save it as a B&W? Then just it
as a B&W. I did that with a screenshot grab of your blue "straight
color" flicker image and it made a nice B&W and was a simple process
of a few steps.
Don't know for lightroom but in PS just load the blue image, click on
the channels (same group as layers), make a copy of the blue channel,
delete tall the other channels and all you have left is the blue
channel copy in B&W. From my screen grab it was a bit over exposed but
not too badly clipped, you could adjust for that as you handle the
overall exposure processing when you open the raw file. Looking at the
RGB channels - there is a little bit of data in the red, almost
nothing in the green, and blue sparkles like a straight B&W image. So
your data is all there in blue and when the other colors are gone it
is simply displayed as B&W.

I'm finding processing the photos to be very challenging. Here are
some examples of various attempts that I've made to process them:

B&W, "straight color", tweaking the color temperature to bring some
of the red in.
If I crank the exposure high enough that the blue midtones are
visible, then anything close to the highlights are totally blown
out. If I try to keep some tonality in the musicians faces, then
everything is darker than I want.
Anybody have any ideas on how to handle this?
