I am an instructor with BetterPhoto.com, and like you, I shoot with Nikon equipment (as well as Canon!). For concerts, I recommend fast lenses, and digital SLRs. You have a Nikon D80, so you're all set there. For concerts, the important aspect is to get in close, and use a fast lens. What I mean by "fast" is that the maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger (remember, small number, larger aperture). This lets more light in, and gives you faster shutter speeds. I recommend fixed focal-length lenses, or fast zooms. An inexpensive fixed lens is the 50mm f/1.8, or the 105mm from Nikon. You'll have to set your ISO to at least 400 as well, as you're shooting in low-light situations.
