my opinion is that there's not that much to it besides the basics, although there are certain niceties like press passes, and being hired by the venue that will make your life much easier:
i.e. get as close to the action as you can, or a good zoom.
try not to use flash - instead get a lens with a good maximum aperture.
you can also increase your iso - a viable alternative on the 10D.
use a monopod if you can't hand hold well.
Here's a shot taken in Meunster, Germany, just after sunset at ISO 800 with the Canon EF 75-300 IS, at full zoom.
There's more in this gallery:

I agree with magnetic... There really isn't much to it. As you shoot more and more shows you learn how to read the light and find exactly what works and what doesn't. It is alot easier to shoot with a photo pass than without one, you don't have to fight crowds or risk getting your camera taken away. If you are located in the US, the majority of the venues here won't even let you in with a "professional" (AKA anything besides a desposable) camera. So a photo pass is definitly the way to go. I have been shooting rock photography in the Atlanta area for the past 5 years. You can check out my website atAtlantaRockScene Photography If you have any questions regarding rock photography feel free to email me! AtlantaRockScene@aol.com
Enjoy the ride,

Here are a few of my own...
The middle pic is the singer of a local band, and there's only so many people in my town, so it wasn't difficult to get close! (that was film)
In the other two, I was told by a band member I can take pics from the side of the stage! (those were digital) |

I got the opportunity to shoot at a german metal festival a few weeks ago. It was my first experience with concert photography, and the most important things I learned was to shoot as much as possible and be fast with the camera settings. After 3 days I could walk away with 1265 shots, so I'm glad I had a lot to choose from.
Here are some of them:
