Thats right!! he only got through about 4 seconds of Great Gig before his guitar cut out, then dave said "shall we do something with the guitars? shall we push on with Money then?", they went straight to Run Like hell where everything crashed, thats when dave said "we're going to have to admitt defeat on this one, really sorry, we're going to have to love ya and leave ya".
Something like that, but yeah it was pretty much as you described it.
