Since there's already a thread about the loudest one, I thought I would provide some balance.
I'm sure the actual quietest concert I've been to was one in a small room. The shows I've seen at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia were all pretty quiet. I do have to give some credit to Ben Folds as well, for playing a larger venue without giving me any ear damage.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

the bluegrass set thet Phish played to a full 20,000 seat arena through what appeared to be one [1] Audio Technical 4033 mic.
The hippies were very good about "shhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
It was great.
They did a full bluegrass cover of Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time" (yes, the whole thing!) ...tight - four part vocal harmony and everything.
Of course, I was all cranked on some mushrooms, but hey...i know good harmony -even high! |

I knew somebody would start this thread. Simply because if no-one else, I would've.
I guess for me, Ella Guru at the Scala last year. Very hushed and pretty.

Yup, tis. Its also a very very good Liverpudlian band, sort of like a cross between Neil Young's acoustic stuff and Low, maybe. Very quiet (almost inausible at times), but some excellent harmonies, very beautiful.

Mission of Burma was pretty damned quiet but that's because of Roger Miller's tinnitus.

A Beck solo acoustic show - intimate, beautiful and funny

Oh! He played for about 100 people in a lost village. He wasn't definitely too loud, but it was great anyway.

their only faulter is that they hate water,
and water is something that you gotta have.

Kimya Dawson (of the Moldy Peaches) in some guys living room in Montclair, NJ. Such a fun intimate show.

Surprisingly enough, the quitest concert I've ever been to (not in terms of audience noise, but volume of the band) was David Bowie last year. It was about as quiet as it would have been had I been playing a CD.

When the Magnetic Fields opened for They Might Be Giants in 1996...they were the quietest band I've ever seen. I hated them, everyone hated them, horribly droning and boring, no energy.
Years later Magnetic Fields are one of my favorite bands and I often wonder how bad they really were at that show...did I just not know the songs or was it really a bad show?
