As someone in the production world, there is one consolation: nobody got hurt.

As a man with mental health issues I can't thank you enough for supporting this topic. It not only helps men but society as a whole. ❤️

You are brilliant, even without the sound system the audience is with you👏💚

As a man, I appreciate you encouraging my mental health. It really makes a difference. Thank you, Patty. 🙂

I love how you could tell through the audience’s sound that they were simultaneously booing the electrical outage but cheering for Patty Gurdy at the same time. 😀

Thank you for supporting mens mental health!!!! I love your Music.

Would love to see you tour the USA sometime in the future

Oh the joys of anything live! You were left with little choice and you responded professionally and brilliantly. And it looks like the audience was understanding and still showing you love. I still show you love as well and wish you many more live performances (which i hope to see one one day) WITHOUT technical failures!!! 🤗

In the early 2000's I was engineering a recording at a live recording event. Beautiful sunny weather predicted so we had a tent above the sound console and everything was set to record live interviews and a traditional Chinese instruments. In the period of two hours an very unexpected weather front occurred which resulted in first light then hard rain. We kept recording as the interviewer/host and the band were willing to continue playing under the tents. The audience also stayed as garbage bags were handed out to help fend off the rain. Thirty minutes into the event recording some microphones failed from the moisture. An hours into the event the band could no longer stay in tune due to the moisture effecting their instruments. By the end of the event the only microphones still operational were two wireless microphones being used by the host and her guests. As we somehow finished the event and the remaining audience was applauding the show we heard a loud thump and the p.a. system went down from moisture as the safety protocols triggered it off. We killed the power to the complete systems and slowly disconnected and towel dried every cable and piece of equipment as we loaded them into equipment travel containers. Finally it was time to box the console and just as we closed the container a rip started to leak on the tenting overhead. We grabbed the container with console enclosed and pulled it away just as a river of water ripped through the cloth and deluged the table with a flood of rainwater and tent debris. The show was aired the following day and on listening you couldn't tell that anything had happened during the recording. The music was inserted from a live recording the band had released a month before with only the beginning and ends from our recording being used due to tuning issues. No equipment was damaged and the whole rig was used for a number of years after this event. But we learned never to trust the weather forecast ever again. We also replaced the tenting with some with a steeper slant so that rain would no longer pool but rather run off the covering material.

These moments are there to make your life more interesting! Imagine a life that went all according to how we expected it to be. There would be little story there! Just like the flood, you turned this into a positive moment. Good job, love the video and premiere. So happy to have been here on time. Thanks for the reply! I'm a really big fan. Even told my wife about you 😂

Crazy things happen in life. You did it well. My husband and I are far off fans in the mountains of western America and we love your performances on YT. Keep on doing what you do and bringing joy to people.

Still lots of crowd love, even with the speakers down- that speaks volumes

Even that there where problems my spouse and I are really happy that we could see you on stage! You are wonderful!

It's really too bad that it happened on your set but at least everyone was still cheering while you were playing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The grim reality of live performance. I’ve played IRO 4,000 gigs, including all through the early seventies when there were endless National power cuts. We were always ready to play an acoustic set with torches and candles: not easy. Also, be prepared for amplifier failure, PA breakdown, band sickness, unexpected cancellations, late arrival, transport problems, breakdowns, arguments, the whole bloody gamut of live work. I still love it, but it’s not all fun and instant success… without a few disasters, there’s no learning. Good luck! 😁😁🎸🎸🎼🎼🎤🎤

You and your band really took it well! And the fan shook it off and had a big laugh! Some fans wouldn't take it so well as they did. Hats of to you and the band and great fans!

Truly you are a class act! I am sure that you will enjoy many more concerts in your future! Thank you for sharing all of these experiences with us.

A pity there where power outages, you are doing great at live performances so I hope there will be many more in the future. The audience clearly loves you too.

Your good, you have great balls to talk about it!

How cool is it that the audience did not let you completely fall, that's love right there, awesome!!!

You handled it with grace!

Bless you and thank you for really talking about this important subject ♥️♥️♥️

When things happen that are out of your control. But you handled it very well and your fans appeared very understanding. Well done. 👍

Love that people still had fun and you guys did what you could!

Keep up the strength & good you're doing Miss.Gurdy 💯 suck that y'all were having problems on set.

You did good Patty, a true professional! 🥰

You’re a great artist and your fans love you and understand 💚

You're the one artist I wish to see live. The energy you bring and the love from the crowd is unique.

Thank you for speaking up for us🙏🖤

You handled it with grace and class. The crowd seemed to roll with the punches, and were hyped to see you on stage. And thank you again for your tireless advocacy for men. So many simply ignore or berate us.

Great sound! Things will be wonderful the next time around.

You are amazing Patty!

I love you, ty for bringing this topic to light, we need help to sometimes.

Oh no!! That's really too bad that you had that happen But on the "up" side, you had the opportunity to perform, and you had a large crowd of people that knew who you were, knew your sounds, and was there to support you! So I guess in one way you can look at this as a "win"! Congratulations! You're dreams are becoming reality!

As a man it makes me proud to have women like you advocate for men's issues and mental health thank you.

You're right. I don't know if it was the time to talk about mental health. Maybe there are people in the audience who suffer from these problems and want to forget during this moment. You do a lot on instagram. Thanks for all of us who have a shit in the brain.

Sooo cool! 💚

Hey... it happens. You guys handled it very well. The audience was cool. Everyone was safe and in good spirits. No one got hurt. I'd call it a win! You live to rock another day.

Patty -. Haven’t seen your KZfaq in 2 yrs -- So glad to see this now

Oh no! Sometimes we just end up in a situation where there is not a happy ending and we just have to be openly honest that it is time to stop. Your fans evidently love your music, so they will most certainly come back. Whatever the electrical issue is or was, know that you are all admired and accepted for the fantastic work that you do! Henceforth... maybe carry a back-up generator?

You are a true beauty in the world today. We love ya ! !

Awww it's okay girlie, it happens. I'm glad y'all made the best of it 😊

Please keep up the good works

Cool recovery 🤠

You handled things like a true champ. :) When the unexpected happens, it is not easy to lose control. You did great!

I really wanted to thank you for speaking up about mens mental health. I’ve always enjoyed your channel and content but to hear you speak about talking about a subject so close to me was amazing. I have had issues as a male musician with mental health for most of my life and I am currently having a rough time right now including a recent issue with some very bad bad thoughts and to hear someone I respect speak on this subject really gives me hope. Thank you patty ❤

Ihr habt das Beste daraus gemacht und die Nerven behalten - Respekt 🙂👍👏

Always difficult to leave your own show ! Apart from that, I really love your dress 😍

So BEAUTIFUL

Well you are a champ for handling that so well. I can see some musicians, especially the ones with huge egos, having a big tantrum about losing power.

the crowd sounds great!! thats badass!!

Still amazing, keep going ❤️‍🔥

Been dealing with depression and anxiety for years. Keep going! I found exercise helps a lot. I wish I was as talented as you in music. I can't sing or play instruments

Bummer that was a fantastic show. Better days ahead you star.

You out there doing it aint u. You ever in Alabama I'll come to your concert for sure. Love your energy!

Tech difficulties. Great that even though your a star Rocking the stage and only have to say I love you, you take the time to talk to men about mental health. Very loving of you. Earned my subscription.

Aww sorry for that, Thor was in vacation this day 😬 Your and your staff are amazing ! ❤🤘

What an awesome crowd! They didn't miss a beat!

Just missed the premier, got to rewatch.hope all is well.

Awesome ❤️

those are real fans... they even cheer you when you have to cancel the show....

People love you, people value your performance, people feel your soul. Run this way as you doing. Thank you! I'm waiting you will come in Rimini ITALY. Maybe one day

Sorry you got cut short, that sux. I was in charge of sound, at a concert, in an old theater. It could only handle the power needed for the stage lights, and not for the PA too. We did not know that ahead of time. I had the PA all set up working great, and as soon as the stage lights came on, the main breaker tripped and everything went off. Not ready to give up, I ran a long extension cord, out the back of the theater and plugged into power from the building next door, to get the sound system working again. Show went on as planned, and we had a great night 🎶🙂🎶 Music is life!

You are awesome.😊❤️✌️

Your a true champion! You were still trying to keep going. Even without electric instruments! 🤜🤛👍

That really and truly sucks, Patty. I'm so sorry!

Thank you for caring about everyone Patty

Thanks for advocating.

If only there was a way to generate electricity off the grid..

Oh man that's a real bummer!😟

Thanks🙏❤️

Patty's Music so mind blowing it blew out the power!

Having run a 2,000 seat theater, I know what this is like. Power goes and there is nothing you can do it all up to the people on stage and you did a great job.

Your sound blasts the sound system. 🍀

Total pro! Would love to see you play live someday!

I was there and i loved the few songs you did play 😊

Patty, youre the best

You are amazing ✌️❣️ ✌️

i loved you for years ...but the intro and how you handled it by diverting to a meet and greet ...expert class and i love you even more

Sad times!!!

Awesome video. Sometimes life sucks. You get more beautiful every video I see.

I've never heard of yall. I'll have to check out y'alls music.

Patty bless you for having such a big heart. Technology can be so much fun. I only do karaoke. Yet one recent night, first song, speaker cut out. Second song the microphone died. I jokingly asked the dj if he was hazing me. You just have to make the best of what you can at times. At least you they WANT to have on stage LOL. Keep singing your songs lovely lady!

What a bummer!

Thank you so much for making mental health and especially mental health for men a priority! It is a huge problem for men; one that isn't discussed often enough. Making it OK to talk about is such an important step. Thank you!

Awesome music

Jeeze You Are Stunning And One For The Royalty Miss

Patty is a hero for me. 🙂

I think you aren’t alone in live stage disasters. Long ago, the band I was in got caught in a sudden unexpected monsoon deluge. We got the power shut off just in time and Everything electronic got soaked and a few things got permanently damaged. 💩happens Patty. 😉

What a memorable experience for everyone involved!

First, Patty, on the feeling warm thing; the memo has been out for some time, you haven't been warm for days and days! Good Crowd , btw, and your BHS crew were as on top of it as you could hav hoped. FR

What a difficult situation. Your audience was so understanding. Many audiences where I live would have wrecked the place. Much better to be understanding.

Thank you for bringing up the topic of men's mental health. It's something definitely not talked about enough

What a bummer! What a crowd!

Back in my live sound days I dealt with more than a few power issues, but the funniest one was from a church I used to attend. I was about 15, and I was running sound for the youth choir, and we had set up our portable PA system in the sanctuary just like we did when we played in other churches. Having learned the hard way, I taped the power cord for the mixing console and other house gear to the floor where it crossed the walkway and led up the power outlet. I did this because numerous times before I had people kick the cord out of the socket by tripping on the bright orange and easily-visible cord. No one was going to trip on it THIS TIME! About five minutes into the show, I lost all power to the mixing position. I looked over to where the outlet was to find this little old blue-haired lady standing there with the cord in her hand. She had come in late, saw the taped-down cable, and ripped it up tape and all, because she "was afraid someone would trip over it."

Ah, gotta love when the technology stops working. Other than the truncated concern I hope the rest of the time at the event/festival was good. I appreciate your willingness to talk about mental health, and in particular encouraging men to take part in the conversation. As someone with anxiety/depression that I have at times ignored and/or not taken proper care of, it is an incredibly important conversation to have. Thank you.

Get ready with a powerful "preppers" gurdy and material. Just a really loud alto and tuneful melodies. You will get the audience very quiet to hear you. It will be magical.

You rock

I used to do sound work for outdoor concerts. I know what can, and usually does go wrong, including electrical storms. I worked a concert once where the talent gave up due to lightning in the area. I don't blame them for it. But I do feel bad for you because of what happened.
