I will be shooting a concert at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, the lighting is cool, I'll be at a distance. don't know what settings to use
The settings depend on the type of picture you want. Since you declined to specify the model of your camera, I can't give you any exact answers.
If you want an overview of the entire scene, the stage, the performers, the audience, etc., you can treat is as a landscape. Use a small aperture to get maximum depth of field.
If you want to catch a single performer or a small group of performers in motion, treat it as a sports scene. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion and a large aperture to narrow the depth of field.
If you want to convey a sense of motion, use a slower shutter speed and let the action blur.
The camera is a tool. You're the photographer. YOU have to decide what you want your photo to say to the viewer and use the appropriate settings to capture that. Two photographers shooting the same thing with the same equipment will most likely be using different settings because each will have his/her own view of what the picture should say.
Testimonial: "Forgive me I thought I listed my camera, I a have Cannon EOS T2i, I've been playing around with the settings, but I'm at home I have to do shoots of the artist posing and while they are performing. i hope this helps, thanks."

Not really possible with most cameras. Set the ISO to the highest setting and turn off the flash. This is the best you can do. Professional cameras that can shoot at ISO 3200-5200 are about the only cameras that can take that type of shot. Most pocket cameras do not have ISO above 1000.
Good luck!
SOURCE: what setting do I use for my Cannon Powershot SX
Turn off the flash. Set the ISO for at least 800. If you have shake reduction, use it. If not, can you use a monopod or tripod?

I have the a 18-55mm lens and a 75-300mm. The artist is doing a special Rock Hall concert and asked me to come take photos for their website. It's not my first shoot, it's and I always take a million and one shots: it's just that I want everything right for this session.I can't ever get this camera set right. Thank you!
