Almost impossible to do a 'how to make a good band video and be a good cameraman' answer.

You must get the sound off the decks. Get some interviews with band members. Use one camera for close ups on stage maybe and one further back. Get audience reaction shots. Avoid zooming. Get a wide angle lens maybe. Light for camera might be usefull. Get a book on good camera work, read it, practice.

Dont take a tripod, it'll just get in the way and I dont think it is needed.
