It sucks to be an idiot but I have to admit to bringing home singed tracks a few times that I just didn't hear during the live mix. Nothing that crossed the line into unusable though. Try iZotope clip restoration. This has saved the day a few times.
It was because the tap point to the DAW is directly after the pre-amp (pre-fader, pre-EQ, pre-everything!) and the gain was HOT. For the FOH sound, of course, everything was post-FX/Fader so got away with it. Mind you the monitor mix must have been shit :-)

Anyway, lesson learned and every recording fine, with plenty of headroom, since then
