argh, that Tamron may drive you crazy.... lenses like that are ok for tripod use, landscapes, birds, etc....
I've used a similar 75-300 F4-F5.6 lens to shoot a concert .... and it was much harder than I wished... I had to pull out the 50mm 1.8 in order to get anything....as the F4-5.6 lens gave me shutter speeds in the 1/15th range..... the Image Stabilizer didn't help because the musicians were moving a lot....
I switched to a 80-200 F2.8 and it was waay nicer... unless you shoot everything at 12000 ISO, concerts require fast lenses....
Also, an 85 F1.8 is a DREAM to shoot in a dark concert hall.....
Canon has a VERY nice 70-200 F4 USM L lens, it's $600, but insanely nice... go to a store and try one before you spend $200 on something you may regret....
Or just rent a 70-200 F2.8 IS for a weekend.... compare that to a 70-300 F4-F5.6 and you'll never look back...
