Hi kimbahpnam You will find a back lit screen amazingly useful for recording concerts, as far as mics there are alot of good choices for 100-150. Sound profesionals is a very good company they have a great reputation and a great selection of mics. Ive heard really good things about their mics with audio technica elements. How ever if you are handy with a soldering iron you can make your own microphones fairly cheap(thats what i ended up doing). if you go to the construction projects page on this site there are a few great links on how to build mics. If you need any help just pm me id be glad to help. Peace Scott
