What is the shortest time exposure of the scene modes?

I bought the Coolpix S10 to take photos at concerts, without having to use the flash. There is no manual mode, so I have to resort to the scene modes. The problem is that I require the quickest time exposure possible to reduce blur (by movement of the subject, regardless as to how still I keep the camera). Which of the scene modes is the quickest or should I say the most suitable for rock stage concert situations or are measurements available for the relative shutter speed of each scene mode (given the same 'picture')? is there any way of improving upon this or controlling it? Basically, it's about time exposure.

Peter,

I would use the night photo mode to avoid blur. I would also pick up a monopod (if you can get it into the concert). This will also help reduce the blur.
