Well... why else would you use a flash if not to add light where there isn't?
As a rule I don't pre-order anything, but I am curious about the EOS R. I could end up buying one, but not until I've scrutinized it to death over several months and changed my mind no less that 8 times.
Fortunately for you, there is an adaptor for ALL your lenses and with full compatibility. The only investment is the $2299 for the body. IMO, a great price for new technology and things that the 5D will never be able to do like the swivel screen or EVF and not to mention a new processor and sensor.
The night I got my 6D2, I went outside about 11pm and took pictures with the kit f/3.5-4.5 lens, everything set to auto. I took handheld pictures of bushes in front of the house by the light of the lamppost down the street and whatever spilled over from the front porch light. At ISO 40000, the pictures were noisy, but clear and with decent color. I could barely see with my naked eyes, so your situation sounds close to pitch darkness and unavailable light.
do u really need more than 6 FPS unless you are shooting sports?porch lights with stationary shrubbery can be very bright compared to inside pubs with bands prancing about. the FPS has me nervous as I often do deal with this situation
and pubs have some kind of light on the stage right? I go to concerts all the time and even my iPhone captures great photos...porch lights with stationary shrubbery can be very bright compared to inside pubs with bands prancing about. the FPS has me nervous as I often do deal with this situation
Actually I tried shooting some photos with normal available light and super high iso's just for fun. The results were pretty awesome. The files looked like old film. Especially if turned into black and white. Try it, just for fun.The night I got my 6D2, I went outside about 11pm and took pictures with the kit f/3.5-4.5 lens, everything set to auto.

Still capable but already 2 years old. Technology is moving faster than that. In my opinion, it's not an upgrade/downgrade. It's a different camera all together. That is what makes it interesting to me. Look at some of the 2500 ISO samples on DPR. The 5D4 can't do that...
some do, many don't.. bands depends on type. Punk / rock bands tend to move a lot and are often in dark venues. While you can get grainy/blurry pics with a phone, it's not something I'd show offand pubs have some kind of light on the stage right?

Yes, I really like the idea of the control ring on the R lenses, and the idea of putting it on the EF adapter, so now all my legacy glass has the control ring, is absolutely brilliant.$199 for the control ring adaptor. not so bad...
6) DPP Express looks very interesting.Yes, I really like the idea of the control ring on the R lenses, and the idea of putting it on the EF adapter, so now all my legacy glass has the control ring, is absolutely brilliant.
This camera isn’t the one for me, as I want some higher specs..... but there are several things about the R that are winners....
1) NO MORE AFMA! A great reason to go mirrorless....
2) that control ring....
3) the control ring on the adapter for legacy glass....
4) that the legacy glass should work as well on the new R bodies as it does on the old ones...
5) they FINALLY are using UHS-2
And a few losers (at least for me)
A) not a fast enough burst rate
B) no high speed video
C) battery life
D) Why would you have Bluetooth and not support a Bluetooth headset? ? ? ?

<edit> and in case it's not clear... it may be a decent camera for this, just can't tell. FPS helps for me, but low light performance does too.. I was close to going for a 6d2 and this is better, but the fps gives me pause as some settings take it from 8 to 3 fps.. massive difference.
