Is the Canon Sx130 IS good for concerts?

I just recently got one for Christmas. I really wanted a better camera for concerts since I go to alot. I know it takes great pictures, and I think I've got all the anti-blur stuff figured out, but does the video do well at concerts as far as audio goes? Anything would be an upgrade from my mom's camera I used to use. I looked for a while on the internets and couldn't find anything so i was hoping someone would know from personal experience. I was just wondering if you could somewhat clearly understand what was being said without that annoying buzz that often shows up during play back. Thanks in advance!!

    Unfortunately with all point and shoot cameras you can only expect so much. The loud music from the speakers would potentially muffle the sound in your tiny camera. If audio is really that important, you can always buy a microphone, record the concert and edit it into your video.
