At Saturday night's Crowded House concert at Church Road Winery you could have heard a pin drop.
For a crowd of about 6000 the silence was remarkable. Not a cough. Not a murmur. Nothing.
The Church Road organisers, who also arranged for Red Cross collections for Christchurch on the site, called fora minute's silence from the good-natured crowd who, despite being in a clear party mode, stood in respectful silence - a tribute to the people of Christchurch.
"It was amazing - that was so special," said Pernod Ricard's public relations manager, Cathy McKeown.
Apart from turning on one of the Bay's most memorable concerts, Crowded House also did their bit by devoting the song Don't Dream It's Over to all those struggling in the wake of the earthquake.
The crowd responded by standing and delivering a loud and emotional chorus.
Police said the evening was a huge success.
"We'd had several meetings with [organisers]," Napier Police Senior Sergeant Sarah Stewart said.
Police and organisers aimed to prevent the outbreaks of trouble, fuelled by alcohol and frustration at long queues, that was a feature of the the George Thorogood/Joe Cocker concert last month. This time there was only one arrest for disorderly behaviour and a couple of drunk people were put out the gate.
Ms Stewart said police were delighted to see people taking ownership for the well-being and behaviour of others around them.
