It's a reference to a musical mistake. There are plenty that are audible on various live recordings, usually bootlegs but also sometimes live releases, by most bands, including the Beatles.For some people, one single mistake is a mortal sin that should never occur. When it comes to rock music, this ignores not only the nature of the music itself, but also that it's created and performed, at least primarily, by human beings, not machines. Most people tend to miss all but the most obvious musical mistakes at rock concerts, so to many if not most people, a mistake or two does not a poor performance make.
Some apparently see things differently.
