Biggest screw up you have ever made?

My biggest mistake... Sound check... "Blues in D" ... i think goodie... i downtune the E string and bang away. Put my bass down afterwards. Forget im down tuned ...

Before we start our set... Couple hotties ask us to play brown eyed girl first and put a 20 in the tip jar. We oblige...

lets just say it took me longer than it should have to figure out what the heck was going on... and being all flustered due to the tuning debacle... i for the life of me could not play the damn chorus... total blackout even at the end of the song... i still couldn't place it. of all songs ... how could i forget how to play brown eyed squirrel ...

i ended up hooking up my headphones amp and mp3 player after the first set... .and had to work out the friggin chorus... Im still baffled as to how i just completely drew a blank and seemed like i had to relearn the song again. Sure it had been weeks since i played it but Brown Eyed Girl... comon
