No consideration of live music performances can ever be complete without including the musical inspirations invoked by silence.
I recommend John Cage 433 (available for download on you tube)
Which is in fact 4 minutes 33 seconds of pure silence recorded by a full symphony Orchestra complete with a baton wielding conductor with a full theatre audience.
Google and enjoy!...........(the file was too large to be attached)
Silence!

Alas, Mr. Cage himself admitted later that this was a purely artificial recording and that there was no silence in nature. Indeed, if nothing else, all people hear at least two things - the sounds of their circulatory and nervous systems.
Yet another time he said that he didn't even intend to record silence; he just wanted to catch the casual noise of the audience.
So - if you are romantic enough, you can get inspired by silence, but never, never, never can you get the silence itself.
