Fantastic combination of musicianship, good humor and showmanship!
That's grace under a lot of pressure!

Definitely a one-of-a-kind performance!
Thanks, that was great and inspirational.
Closest I've come to that was finishing a set with a broken D string. Pulled it off and laughed through most of it.
Splendid!
