had that happen before at a gig, was great,

live went crashed..

thankfull all my mates got up and starting laughing and clapping at me, shouting random Mac shortcuts and i guess lightening the mood of the people who didnt really know what was going on..

they then took to dancing telling me how good that last tune was, which was the old mac start up sound..

i guess people expect this.

i mean guitars can lose strings, blow amps, stuff can fail all the time.. it just a lil more noticable when you dont ahve 3 people to cover you

i seem to remember cosm posting a video of him singing to the crowd when he had to reboot during a live show.


have some kind of backup, CDJ, turntable, i-pod or Kazoo!

Card Tricks or start yelling about how the bar won't get you a beer and you're out of there.

You ought to have back up. If you've got no vinyl and no CDs, then you've already made your first mistake.

trow the lap in the corner, and go hardcore.

I would have a set similar to what I was intending to play on a CD or Ipod and bus it into a channel on the mixer so I could bring it in at anytime.

Make sure you computer is clean!!! Check you processes to make sure some ram-eater isn't running in the background. And stop looking at all that porn, the sites are full of trojans, or so I've been told!

that's why i still use turntables with my live set up. live crashes i scratch into something until i can get live set back up
