Best pause in music history?

[Lilith Velkor]

1. "...anger is a gift."

[Bossy Monkey]

3. Had to google, but it's up n/t

[The Midway Rebel]

2. The 15 years before...lol

I am not a big fan of most new stuff but a kick ass music pause occurs at 58 seconds into this video. I knew this song was great when I first heard it three years ago while flipping through stations on a long drive. Now it is the theme song to my wife's favorite TV show and it is featured in a TV commercial.

And Chuck's girlfriend is a hottie.

Cake - Short Skirt and Long Jacket

5. The false ending in "TV Eye"

[Bossy Monkey]

7. Had to google that one, too. My hipness quotient is taking a beating, but it's up n/t

[Mr. Ected]

6. Do You Know What I Mean - Lee Michaels

And then she said
Lee you haven't loved me in nearly four years
You haven't noticed that I held back my tears
And now you have, but it's really too late
Better find yourself another girl
Better find another girl
Better find uh, another place
.

Oh.

8. She's a dandy, and it's up n/t

[Mr. Ected]

9. Glad you remembered it!

Always one of my favorites.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Great song. Has it really been nearly 40 years?!?

[Iggo]

10. Anticip...

[foxfeet]

12. +1

[BurtWorm]

11. The false ending of Helter Skelter is pretty impressive.

"I've got blisters on me fingers!"

[edbermac]

30. End of Abbey Road

The End followed by Her Majesty.

13. Beastie Boys -- Sabotage

........bwwaaaaAAAMMP

[Brickbat]

19. Yes.

[LynneSin]

14. The ending of "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin

it's long enough that radio station alarms would go off because it was deemed 'Dead Air'.

[rug]

16. 2:15

17. Other: Beatles, "A Day in the Life,"...

Between the final orchestral crescendo and the final piano chord.
Nothing better!

[NightWatcher]

18. the oh so very brief pause between Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago

[mitchum]

21. That is a good one

[Dr. Strange]

20. Creed: the pause between Higher and Full Circle.

It was a good nine years.

[LiberalAndProud]

22. I don't know. But I can tell you about the best musical pause I've ever seen.

Choir practice for the annual Christmas cantata. The choir gets to the final verse of the Hallujah chorus. It's glorious.


And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings! and Lord of lords!
And He shall reign forever and ever,
King of kings! and Lord of lords!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!


The choir director call a halt and bids everyone a good night.


One missing Hallejah drove many people over the crazy cliff that evening.

23. Can we count the musical pause

in The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" just before the fabulous Roger Daltry Scream???

I hope I have that all right

[Bossy Monkey]

25. That's how I remember the 45, but there isn't really a pause in the LP cut

which certainly doesn't make the scream any less awesome.

[yankeepants]

28. I've never heard it without

beah beah beah beah beah BEAH Beahbeah!!
(repeat)

[Bossy Monkey]

24. We all forgot "I don't believe in Beatles..."

or at least I did. Might have to vote Other in my own poll.:)

[Recursion]

26. Beethoven's string quartet #10, mvt. III, grand pause after the trio

Still gives me shivers.

Somebody started clapping at a performance I attended. Wanted to throttle him.

[guitar man]

27. Not so much of a pause

But more of a short "breath" in Vanilla Fudge's version of "You Keep Me Hanging On" , right at about :49-50. It doesn't really stop because there's a little slide up lick on the guitar, but the way they are in no big rush to start into the verse and manage to stay behind the beat...it's always been magic to me.
