Pretty much as the title says, I just shot a Tracer set in Munich at ISO 512000 with flash (and it was on camera flash!!)

Damn, I'm a idiot. This should have read 51,200 not 512,000.

Apologies for the confusion!!

I have to ask; why the high aperture when everything is going to be in focus with a fisheye?

Because I was shooting with flash and a stupidly high ISO the only way to not blow everything out was an almost fully closed aperture!

I'm assuming you were going for the grain on purpose then? It's your style, but I have to ask. Why not just shoot on a lower ISO to get the initial shots more crisp, then add the grain in LR?

Nah, totally not my style at all.

Dre (drums) asked me to shoot totally different than I usually do and to have a dirtier/noisier end result :)

Did you try to shoot a bit underexposed instead and then simply raise the exposure up digitally later? It would give you a very "gritty" look that might have been pleasing. My problem is that even if I shot at that ISO, my results probably would have been too clean still, because I would have that OCD tendency to run my noise actions on the results. :)

Nah, I didn't bother with any post on these (or that technique) I just shot at the highest ISO, adding a flash and dialled my aperture for a decent exposure. Dre (drums) loved them btw :)
