I wish Contributing Editor Frank Tortorici would get his facts straight.
Or maybe he was just too far away to see what was going on.  Roger tripped
over a monitor when he took a step backward, landed on his ass on the
monitor, then went on over to land on his back with both legs up over the
monitor (quite a comfortable position, actually).  It was scary, but once
everyone knew he was OK he and Pete made a joke out of lecturing the
monitor to never do that again, and it was the monitor Pete pretended to
whip with the end of his guitar lead (which was about 12 inches too short
to reach it).

Yes, it did continue.  And from the brief glance I took at the screens, the
images didn't look that bad, either.  A bit darker, but certainly visible.
