I've not used the 90 for concert shooting yet, but I've used the 23 & 56, which worked well:

I'm sure the 90 would work fine as well. The 16-55 should too. While I shot wide-open a lot, with spot metering, my ISOs were overall quite low, so f/2 or 2.8 should be fine, assuming lighting like you see in my shots above.

Nice work George. What shutter speeds were you using and about how low of ISO's? Were you using the X-T1 and how was the reaction time to nailing those quick moments. My X-E1 is a slug and I would never bother using it it that type of situation. I'd love to have a more compact system for theater musical venues other than my DSLR's.
