It was my band, playing at McCabes guitar shop in Sana Monica (our favorite hangout). they have a small theater in the back, good for maybe 50 or so. My band was called Southwind Irish Band and we are listed as alumni there. It wasn't me, I was on one end of the stage and one of my bandmates, (Ken O'malley) (here is a youtube of him

He was on the other end, his guitar strap pulled out and his Martin hit the floor with a resounding boom! There was a rug on the floor of the stage so it didn't crack, it came through that abuse unscathed. It sure woke up the audience though🙂
We didn't have good luck there. One other time we played there, our lead singer was a woman named Catherine Kernahan, a beautiful soprano singer. So here we were, she was singing a lovely Irish song and during a long held note (I was right beside her playing MY Martin) a huge fly flew right into her throat so a pure vocal followed by a GRRHHH from her throat. I felt really sorry for her, and the audience saw it also, everyone was aghast, most of all Catherine. But she recovered and the show went on to much applause🙂
