When it got to the guitar solo, which featured the whammy pedal, everything sounded in tune again, and I realised all along I had accidentally knocked the whammy slightly out at the beginning of the song. I never left the whammy always on after that...needless to say, the record label left the gig...
In preparation for the big solo in the first song I stomped on my drive pedal, then promptly caught the lead with my foot and pulled the jack out of the side of the pedal.
The song was arranged so that the rest of the band stopped playing for the first 2 bars of the solo, then came back in.
So there was total silence while I bent down and plugged the lead back in.
We did not win.

We're playing Mama Mia, and I'm doing my best girly BVs with added octave + 3rd harmony in D major. All is good
Next song is Gangsters by The Specials, and I have the lead vocal. I step on the pedal to give me my awesome delay + low-fi megaphone sound before bellowing "BERNIE RHODES KNOWS DON'T ARGUE" in the traditional style.
..except I missed the footswitch, and I still have the Mama Mia patch enabled. It sounds like a demented, helium-powered alien screaming unintelligible gibberish from another dimension. Very loud. Entire pub stares at me like I just took a shit on-stage. I sheepishly find the right patch before the first verse, and pretend nothing happened.

He gets to the part where everyone else stops and he bashes out a solo instrumental verse. Right at that moment, his iPad slipped and somehow pressed a frigging DEMO button on the Roland stage piano. None of us knew that this thing even had a demo mode, but there it was. It kicked in with some crazy bossa-nova thing, complete with percussion, carnival whistles and all sorts. Much confusion all around. It was very loud. Keyboard guy had NO CLUE how to stop it.
I was laughing so hard I can't even remember what happened, except I think he pulled down his volume and rebooted the thing just to shut it up, as the rest of us crashed into a chorus and tried to carry on. I was almost hyperventilating whilst trying to do those creepy high backing vocals.
I don't think we've played that song since.
