    LOL! Reminds me the old dino of something I read decades ago about the swagger and goosestepping with which soldiers of repressive countries march,
    Think Nazis, commies and even the British Empire.

I ran across this one a couple days ago, and it made me smile! The power of music transcends race, religion, gender, or whatever anyone wants to use as a divider!! 270+ musicians playing the KISS classic "I Was Made For Lovin' You"

I love Flash Mobs! Thank you Freedom! Why do I always tear up and feel happy when I watch flash mobs?

TEDX posted video...fantastic!

We should get a group to do that in the congressional halls of every government during a congressional spat.

They say that music calms the savage beasts!

Might work for the lamestream media too, do it just before one of their diatribes.

Thanks Freedom...The posted vid and of course, GBA brought tears to my eyes...

Thanks a million, FFA!

Made my day.

You have a nice collection of them. It is superb idea to take concert to public places. People appreciate it.

Here is another one from Budapest...

  I'm glad you enjoy them. I decided to not post some that had good quality music because it was clear that the music had been staged elsewhere and dubbed in. No doubt the same musicians performed it in a place with better acoustics.
  It is a great idea to introduce great music to more people in public places.
  When I visited Vienna many years ago the symphony and the opera both had standing room tickets for $2 on the day of the show, and they were in the center just a few feet from the orchestra pit. Standing in line for 5 hours is rewarded to those who can't pay $200.

    One advantage (not many) in working in SF that there are free concerts at the BART station almost every day.
    
    As you step off the train at your station, there is a quartet one day and a bass singing "La Donna Mobile" the next.

      You should record some on your smartphone and post them here - if you have the time ;^)
      I'd enjoy hearing/seeing them, too.

        I'd love to and it crossed my mind before.
        
        Fact is a string quartet may last for half an hour and it's a bit too long early morning when you are expected at work.
        
        But I am keeping it in mind,

      That was excellent! Thanks for sharing.
      
      Reminds me a little of the story about Joshua Bell, arguably he world's most talented (and famous) violinist, doing a busking scene in the NY subways and everyone ignored him.

        One woman did recognize him but was too shy to approach. He did pull in about $32 in tips in a couple of hours.
