This is unfortunate but funny. Alex Lifeson came out to play Limelight at some show with Tom Morello, but when it came to the solo, a bolt broke on Alex's headstock and he lost the E string. It sounds like one of those joke videos people have made where they make it look like somebody is playing horrible. Except this was legit. Not Alex's fault but it's still funny.
The solo is at 3:18.

Ouch. Alex must have been pissed. Pretty hard to compensate when it’s the high E you lost, especially for that solo. That’s a nightmare

It's been forever transformed from a moment in time to a moment in space.
