Phantom II - Justice. Remember Luke Slater playing this in Berghain and really messing with it, really building it up before the break then dropping it....best club moment ever by far.

I really like the pause in Cannonball by The Breeders at 2:12

The Jam - opening bars of 'Burning Sky' - Track 1 Side 2 of 'Setting Sons'. Reinforced years later by my son (without prompting) pinpointing the exact same moment as being a musical moment that made his spine tingle.

Stretching it a bit to call it a pause but the "1,2,3,4..." bit in "Born To Run". Live in concert pause was also Bruce and the E Street Band at Earls Court in 2002 - cracking live version of "Thunder Road", brief pause then "1,2..." and straight into the aforementioned "BTR".
Going back to the initial post saw Thin Lizzy at the Centre in early '80's - they did "Cowboy Song" as per "Live and Dangerous" but then Phil Lynott (up there as one of the greatest rock front men imho) wound the audience up a treat by claiming that they had forgotten "The Boys Are Back In Town"and they got bored playing it! ..Of course they played it!

Think that Creep has got one hell of a pause in it.

You Are by Pearl Jam (at 20 seconds) - a bit more obscure, but the silence works brilliantly

is both my favourite and second favourite pause
a few years ago Steve Harley was on R5 giving bad horse racing tips and stated that the Wedding Present did it best .......
....I reckon The Wedding Present get mentioned in at least as many threads on here as Bobby Zamora

"Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis", RVW. Riddled with suggestions of pauses. Glorious.

Love it! Just used that track to test out my new speakers, very punchy bass line and a pause just long enough.
