something like a Canon Powershot A570 IS would fit your profile - except the sound quality during concerts.
The thing is, concerts have a very high powered sound system and no regular recording equipment will not be able to handle it.
The A570 IS can be had for under $200 and it has 7 megapixel sensor and 4x optical zoom.

canon a570
All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......
The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck

Canon made the Powershot SD1000 for you. It fits your pocket and your budget and your list of requirements.
I have not seen video from the camera, but read near the bottom of this page, which says it's "pleasing."

Casio Z75 or Z1050 is a great choice, nice and thin, lightweight, shoots photos and video with sound. 7.2-10.1 MP, Easy to use controls and a 2.5" screen to view.

Recommend a Scandisk memory card, about 2GB.
