Ahhhhhh, I'm with Peter on this one. Drugs or no drugs. If you've ever been on-stage when someone's TAKING flash photos, it's momentarily disorientating, even to someone completely sober...there's that temporary blindness (spots) that can cause the performer to take a misstep and possibly get hurt from tripping over equipment/cables to accidently bumping into a bandmate to even falling off the edge of the stage. Which is why most artists even today request/demand that no flash photography be taken during shows. It's just downright dangerous for the performer.
