best settings for a concert venue

Hello,
I have a Canon S1 is and have only used it a few times so I am a complete
novice. I am going to be going to a concert and would like to be able to get
some good pictures. what would be the best settings for the conditions that
would be at a concert, low light, stage lights etc.

remember I am very new to this camera and photography so please be as basic
as possible in your suggestions

Thanks in advance
