Its difficult but if you can manage to snap off enough you can typically get a handful of good ones. One key thing to remember for small cameras is to make sure to set your ISO to 80 (or so) instead of auto. A good zoom with image stabilizer can help too. If anyone has any better/other tips for taking pics at concerts with 'snapshot' type cameras i'd love to hear them.
