"During the shows O'Connor (the youngest musician here on this video at just 18 years-old) always played at least one piece on violin, but his role was guitarist and original member Darol Anger the violinist.
Notice at 6:37, as O'Connor begins his guitar solo, his string snaps and one can hear this audibly. The high E string of the guitar came lose from the end pin and dropped all the way down to where it was flopping. You can see O'Connor attempting to figure out what to do as he continued his solo on national television. Beginning on the lower strings, he mutes some with his right hand, then gestured towards David Grisman as if he was going to give his solo back to him. Grisman does not respond and continues to play rhythm not really knowing what happened. Then O'Connor turns away from the mic and within a period of three seconds (from 7:01 to 7:04) the high E string is perfectly back in tune for the remainder of the solo. This very moment back in 1980 helped solidify O'Connor's reputation as a young star whose ability as a great young musician was growing. These few seconds were the talk of the show to many guitar players watching at the time. Many experts just could not believe that O'Connor could tune the string during his solo from its "floppy" state to the precise pitch in an instant, without the ability to even hear it while the band was playing loudly."

↑Reminds me of the Last Waltz scene where Clapton's guitar strap comes unglued and Robbie Robertson picks up Clapton's solo as if it was his own.
With all the criticism of Robertson's manipulation of the filming and business tactics, you can't criticize his guitar playing.
I like the way Buddy Guy handles this broken string scenario, as he patiently waits on his guitar tech to do his job:

 Intrigued I took a look at this vid...
I see something a little different then I've read above.
I hear the string pop... This would be the high note string lowest on the fretboard...
Then at 7:04 everything is back to normal... Or is it possible that he tightened the B string to the high E instead of its normal B... and continued with a solo minus the B parts?
