IR is good for snipers and for special effects, but if you're shooting a
concert there is no substitute for high ISO and large aperture.

Some fabrics are somewhat transparent in infrared--you may end up
effectively shooting your performers in their underwear. Here's one

search youtube on "see through clothing infrared" or "nightshot see
through clothes" you'll find numerous other examples.
