You can see it in his face (despite the shades) at 1:55, after a set of "ooh ooh"s, essentially, "I'm trying my best, but I'm not going to make it at the end of all of this."

I wasn't sure until I saw confirmation, recently, that he was jonesing pretty bad leading up to the show and fixed a few minutes before the start.

Heroin is a motherfricker.

This is the story I've always read about it. Cantrell was sick as shite before the show too.

quote:

By all accounts, Staley was high but just high enough so that he wasn’t actively in withdrawal and could function in public. Songwriter and guitarist Jerry Cantrell had eaten a bad hot dog and was barely staving off the effects of food poisoning (if you’re watching the show, you can spot a trash can next to him). Mike Inez was trolling the newly shorn members of Metallica, who were sitting right up front, with a message scrawled on the front of his bass: “FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS GET FRIENDS HAIRCUTS…”. Studio execs would be forgiven for being more than a little concerned.
