It's strange, I've been on here over 2 years and don't remember reading much about taping at all. I guess the tapers don't hang out on Inforoo. I'd suggest talking to Moe Train though. He can probably give you a few tips.
i don't have any experience with taping shows, but usually I see all the recording mics set up in front of the sound booth out in the crowd. I would assume because that is where the technician sits that calibrates all of the audio levels, that's where the best sound is. Also useful to know if u ever get annoyed with unbalanced sound standing front row directly in front of the bass or guitar amps on one side.
I used to try to get front row for the shows I really wanted to see, but now I like chilling back by the sound booth because you have a little more room and the sound is perfect.

I had a stealth type model with some mics that plugged into a recorder on my iPod, pretty good quality, they were little lapel mics ($120 ones designed for concert recording) and the stuff turned out good, although I coulda used a pre-amp to get the volume about 5x louder. I just clipped them onto my bandana and called it good, but that probably wont work for you if you've got real gear
