Does 4’33” have to be quiet? The performers don’t play their instruments so the audience have to concentrate on the noises of their environment but what if the environment is noisy?
*hmmm*

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I'm gonna pitch my orchestras on a performance at a steel mill.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

I went to a Wilco show and you wouldn't believe how many people turn their backs to the stage and just yap.
They also look at each others' phones.

I sometimes listen to 'Reign In Blood' at a barely audible volume while eating popcorn.

It does interest me.
And what if there's a fire alarm and they have to evacuate the building?
'how was 4'33" this evening darling?'
'fucking SHIT. we only got to 2'17" then some jobsworth cunt kicked us out!'

Would the musicians then get half pay?

I think it's cool and not pretentious, for what it's worth.

Orchestra musicians NEVER get half pay.

Remember - the musician's performance fee also covers the price of rehearsal.

You are all mental.
I used it because I surmised some funny bastard would post it as the answer to the initial question.

The quietest band I ever saw live was Magnetic Fields. This was back before 69 Love Songs at some Princeton frat house. The audience was very engaged and respectful, which was good because you could *barely* hear them from 20 feet away.

I saw them shortly before 69 Love Songs was released, at a rock club, and they might have been a bit louder than that but not much. About a third of the audience - the third closest to the stage - was quiet and respectful. The other two thirds were noisily drinking and yakking to each other. (I swear DC audiences are the worst.) I saw them earlier that day doing an in-store and that was much better from a "being able to hear them" standpoint.
I've seen Calvin Johnson and Jonathan Richman (not together) play and sing without amplification, doing kind of a strolling minstrel kinda thing. They both got away with it.
