The solution: become a roadie for your son's band!

He'll also get his choice of the surplus groupies. Don't worry about your marriage, Cerebrum, what happens on tour stays on tour, your son knows that!

That way you can take more pictures in better-lit venues.

Or he could get a new camera.
I am absolutely thrilled with what my KP delivered at ISO=25600.

Since there was no special lighting, you lost nothing by converting to BW.

The way the band, and the bar look, (gritty, blues based, beer soaked, rock'n'roll) a little bit of grain and noise works well. The only shot that is less than good is the last one, IMO, mostly because of the crop, or lack thereof. The woman under the portrait is the subject, crop out the pillar and piano on the right of the shot, the picture frames on the left and the blurry piano key cover in the foreground, it would be a good shot.
