I've been to hundreds and hundreds of arena concerts in my lifetime, and I only know of a couple of them that were professionally filmed (and released). Is that becoming the norm?

yup https://nugs.tv/

That link is mostly about webcasts that are performed for virtual audiences ... so there is no option to record the audio yourself at the venue. Not to mention, most of them are filmed at small venues (Ardmore Music Hall, Stubb's BBQ, El Mocambo, etc.) -- so they are not "big shows at big arenas."
I stand by my original statement: very few big arena concerts are professionally filmed and made available.

You're not going to find a camcorder that puts out enough volts to power the mics we use. You can run the stereo out from your deck to the camera though.

not sure what one it is but I have a Canon r___ and love it
Has mic in for live “dubbing” if you do audio too
Price for features can’t be beat

I've been happy with the Canon Vixia HF G series (I own G10, G20, G30 and G50 which is 4K). They all have external mic inputs, but the G10 and G20 don't have standard mounts on top to accommodate a shotgun mic, while the G30 and above do.

I have a G70 and i've had issues with filming with it. Slow frame rate with really fast lighting on stage.. How manual do you run the cameras?
