[QUOTE="Arthur Skudra, post: 108871, member: 131"] Re: Spill the beans, what is the worst oops you have done during a show? Back in the good old days of cassette tapes, I had a performer who sung to tracks recorded on cassette tape that was notorious for not rehearsing before her performance. I had a Nakamichi tape deck for playback, and on it had a pitch control that was on a fader than a typical rotary knob. Somehow the pitch control had been accidentally slid all the way to the slowest speed. I didn't notice until I started up the track, a full 2 or 3 keys below what it should have been! I noticed right away.
