Zune "Live at the BBQ" Event in NYC

The event was fairly well attended, although it was obvious that Microsoft had expected more people. The grass area was about 1/3 full, and I'd put it at about 1000-1500 people. The concert was great, with artists such as Brand Nubian, Large Professor, Clipse, Cham, MIMS, and Joell Ortiz. If you're into hip hop, this was the place to be.
