At 02:41 you see it written with an underscore instead of a space, so that's probably what was intended in the earlier illustration.

However, it would be possible that the name "CONCERT ID" (with the space) was actually a column name, or perhaps an alias name given to a column. But names with spaces are generally not a good practice because of the confusion that can occur, and the extra effort of having to enclose them in quotes.
