I'm Screwed:

YOU SURVIVE BOBBY BOY!?!?!?!??!

It was one of my most challenging performances and I made several mistakes. Learning 40 songs in less than 2 weeks was just too much to really nail them accurately. TBTH, the entire band had an off night in general.

The bassist and bandleader were arguing about the length of our breaks, photo backdrops, which songs should be played in which order, etc. There's just a general personality conflict between them.

But, the venue absolutely loves us. They were telling me last night that we are the friendliest band of all in terms of dealing with the staff and we routinely bring in big crowds, which is a very endearing quality for a band.
 
I did encounter one equipment malfunction. Midway through one set, my guitar volume dropped during the rhythm section of Knocking On Heaven's Door. I wiggled my cable and nothing...Zero output.

The other guitarist was covering me, and I looked down and noticed my RV6 was not illuminated, and it was the only pedal running on battery power, as it doesn't fit on my board.

I quickly rolled the master volume off, switched off the amp and disconnected the RV6. Once I did that, everything came back 100%.

I'm gonna get a second One Spot to power my "off the board" effects...

I always have a spare power supply and several spare batteries. Like you I learned the hard way :) Battery quit on my guitar with an active piezo pickup mid song. Luckily the bass player had a spare battery.
