Great, major, strong, moderate, light, minor . . . none of those terms really matter if you've sustained damage. I mean, they don't matter to the individuals who experience it, whether or not they matter to scientists. If I had sustained a fissure that would cost $2000 to repair, it would be classified as a
major earthquake to me. Period.
Of course, none of the Macsters sustained any damage, I'm sure, so the EQ has nothing to do with the cancelled concert.
