Cuomo shared a social media video, which has over 6 million views, that showed crowds of people standing and swaying near the stage. In response, Schneiderman said the town is also investigating the concert, vowed to hold organizers accountable and defended the town’s decision to permit the concert. “It wasn't until later in the evening that town officials observed possible permit violations occurring in an area immediately in front of the stage. Schneiderman acknowledged that he and the police chief were present “earlier in the evening” at the concert.
