Links to postprocessing instructions releavant in concert photography. Post yours in this thread, and I'll add it to this first post.

Local contrast enhancement

Also known as "haze removal". It's a way to add perceived contrast.

Diffuse glow

This will make the image appear softer (but not un-sharp). It also has other effects - it often seems to add saturation. Desaturate the image slightly if it is too much at first.

Samples:
