I am shooting mostly at 3200 and often have to up the exposure and make significant white balance adjustments in LR to get a decent image. That seems to bring out the noise. Also, one of the venues has a very annoying red stage light that really messes up the shots.
Hmm, I guess that I would manually white balance off a grey card under the specific ambient lighting conditions in which you are shooting and then learn how to properly use/review in-camera channels and curves historigrams.

It would appear that, with current technology, shadow noise at high ISO will always be a bit of a problem.
