Portrait Flash

Portrait+Flash
Best setting for Canon Camera to take pictures of a concert?

I have a press pass for a concert that’ll I’m going to. It’ll be a club show so I’ll be at the very front, but I’m not sure what the best setting would be.
Here are the settings:
A-DEP
M
AV
TV
P
CA
Auto
Portrait
Landscape
Close-up
Sports
Night Portrait
Flash Off

The camera is a CANON Eos Rebel T1i

Night portrait won’t work because it leaves the shutter open for one second, lots of blur.
There really is no best that I know of. The only way is to shoot, check, reset and shoot again.
I would use manual and experiment with shutter and aperture. Low light and moving people always yields blur, no way around it. If you’re allowed to use flash and are close enough, that may help with the blur. If there’s no flash allowed then experiment.
