this is a great clip that should easily make it to the top!- you should rename the title to something like

'50,000 excited concert goers trigger ACTUAL EARTHQUAKE in a simultaneous jam session!'

Nothing like a bunch of jumping Germans. Reminds me of my first anti-Nazi rally in the town of Göttingen, where the "Black Block" of anarchists would periodically jump up and down in unison and shout, "Hopp! hopp! hopp! Na-zis stopp!"
