Marwan Rashad That's rough, man.
They did that so well! Some flash mobs take so long to set up that they’re more of an ‘outdoor concert’ - which is great but not a ‘flash mob’. The look on people’s faces when the different parts started up was wonderful and a reminder of happier times.

Wonderful music never gets stale. Never mind how many times a person hears it.
Es ist so alt, und immer noch wunderschön. Was spiegelt mehr unsere Kultur als ein großes symphonisches Orchester? Nichts kommt dem gleich.
Good on you Cologne truly amazing. All I saw were smiling people when you all started playing. No one needed to speak German or understand it. Music is the international language that unites us all. Thank you.

It is so symbolic. A man stand alone in the street and "say" something sound meaningless. everybody thinks he is crazy , until many people join him and say the same. Now, of course it's beautiful and even exciting... typical human behavior.

I think it would be awesome if High School bands and drum corps would flash mob their shows at whatever city they visit. They are 9-minutes long for high schools. Folks forget it’s not just notes. It’s dynamics and articulation that truly puts a finishing polish on a piece. This may have been this orchestras first attempt. Why do a five minute piece if you are unsure of your audience reception? Hopefully their next one is longer, we will see :)
I am so blessed to have grown up in the era of movie scores like star wars, superman, raiders of the lost ark and not forgetting the goonies!!! I Wouldn't change that for anything!!!
its beautiful that songs like this can make people so happy and bring them together
This just goes to show how much of an impact a single series of films have had on the ENTIRE world even up to 3 decades later like today!

Every. Single. Time. I come across this video, i always get a tear in my eye. Its so beautiful to see how the power of music can gather people.
Is it just me but when ever I see a flash mob that plays classical music I get tears in my eyes?
Why did I tear up when the string section got involved? _Great_ childhood memories, made possible by the genius of John Williams' score. That was AWESOME! JW3HH
For some reason i just have the flash back in the cinema to the VERY first star wars. Felt young for 2 mins 20. Good job guys. Well done !
Amazing, we definitely need more star wars flashmobs!
my favourite flashmob so far and i've watched A LOT of them. :) sehr geil, was sie da in köln abgezogen ham. ;)
"Wir sind eins"... aber meine Lautsprecher sind defekt! Seriously though, a musical score for the ages, and well staged too.
I love how when the others first start playing everyone's looking around like "wait, what?"
Such a beautiful sound from that trumpet. It sounds very happy with its player :)
The best part is the faces of the performers, they loved it.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN OR HEARD ON KZread. Great job from Las Vegas, NV USA Let me tell you, I NEVER cry, and HONESTLY, this Old Marine shed a tear for some reason. Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C.

The most creative flash mod I have ever seen~! Just love everything about the Star Wars~!
This is the only flashmob I've seen that makes me laugh with joy. At least so far. Absolutely brilliant presentation! Wunderbar!
I play this on my bagpipes during breaks in gigs or marches. People and especially kids love it.

This video gets me everytime. Its beautiful how a musical flashmob can get anyone to forget the stressfull everyday life for just a while, and enjoy a good time.
One of the best pieces of music EVER written...just so powerful and full of energy and life...how beautiful!
Gänsehaut pur
Ich hätte es authentischer gefunden, wenn ihr keine eingespielte Musik drüber gelegt hättet. Einem anderen Video konnte ich entnehmen, dass das Orchester fantastisch gespielt hat, natürlich sind die Akustik draußen ganz anders aber für mich gehört das dazu. - Die Idee selbst finde ich klasse!

ja genau deswegen gibts auch nen daumen runter... entweder man steht dazu und der sound ist bescheiden oder man lässt so eine Doku. und ja, das am ende der Mediathek theaser lauter als alles andere ist macht es deutlich das der wo es geschnitten hat noch weniger ahnung von garnicht's hat! Und ja ich hab erfahrung mit livesound aufnahmen... jede kamera hat minimum ein mono signal, dazu ok 2012 war die smartphonetechnik noch nicht so entwickelt, aber selbst da gab es schon stereo bandmaschinen für den mobilen einsatz!
Always blown away by this ... and I watch it 4-6 times a year ;)
The world I see is beautiful . I see music and I feel humanity . May the force with all of us
Every time I hear the strings. I get goosebumps
John Williams is our modern day Mozart or Beethoven. When Mankind finally reach other planets in other solar systems, I'm sure they'll bring this theme song along with them :) Nice video Germany :) /from Denmark with love
