This right here.

Being on the performer side of things, it DOES temporarily blind the performer after a flash...I've inadvertantly stepped off the front of a stage due to "flash blindness" (the stage only being a foot or less high, but still ended up with a cast on my sprained ankle & a $200 repair bill for the guitar I was playing when it crashed on the edge of the stage when the strap gave way.) and the height of the stages in venues Fleetwood Mac are playing can be pretty lethal if they happened to fall.

So, if you have full knowledge of the camera you're using and CAN defeat the flash function, give it a go. If you can't take a picture in a darkened room without your flash going off, then leave the damned thing in the car or at home.
