Bring a small red light source (a good LED keychain light works great), and
get a decent level during the opening band. Then, sit back and enjoy the
show. During postprocessing, you can run it through a compressor to get
fewer transient sound level fluctuations.

I've used shitty mics (I mean, *truly* shitty -- used a set of headphones from
a $5 portable tape deck, but backwards, as a stereo mic -- decent quality,
belive it or not) in my '702, and find my settings at ~22 or so if I'm in a
small-to-medium club venue, and within the first 10 rows of people on the
floor. On the '702, 15 is the threshold between 'low' and 'high' mic
sensitivity, so there's a big jump in response.

Don't worry -- once you're into a show, and there's lots of people around,
it's rare for someone to actually pick you out of the crowd.

Well, I can't say much for the musical choice (my boots are of techno shows
like Underworld, Orbital, and such), the Sharp should behave quite nicely,
and give you good performance for recording the show.
good luck,
