Woodstock ‘99 Documentary
Have you seen this on HBO and HBO Max? It’s very well done but it’s such a slice of the cultural back then. I never knew the extent of how bad things got during that weekend for the 300K in attendance.

I remembered the 94 one but not really 99. Pretty interesting and didn’t remember the of how big of a shitfest it was.

I would watch this doc. if i had HBO,i'm sure its interesting.I remember the 99 Woodstock being notorious mostly because of the coverage on MTV and maybe VH1 had some specials about it.And mostly Limp Bizkit basically inciting a riot and getting blamed for the chaos.

Also the fires started during the RHCP set. They asked the Red Hot Chili Peppers before their encore to ask the fans to stop setting fires. Not only did they tell the promoters to **** off they played Jimi Hendricks “Fire” song as an encore to be more in the face of the promoters for daring to ask them to calm things down. There is being against the man. Being a rebel etc. and then there is deliberately making the violence worse among your own fans on purpose. |

They told Janie Hendrix that they would play "Fire" as a tribute to Jimi, who, iirc, may have been an iconic performer at the original Woodstock, or something. I remember grampa telling me about Jimi playing the national anthem in a very orthodox and respectful way. They had obviously planned it, because for the encore break they ALL went and dressed up as Jimi, replete with white fringe leather jackets and headbands, so it wasn't like they decided to play "Fire" at the last second to thumb their noses at anyone. Sometimes, things have simple explanation if anyone cares to look. Will quote Eminem here though when I post "mother**** a limp bizkit." |

Weird, I had no idea this even happened just like the first one in 69 when I was in Guam. Hard to believe they let the guitar player from "Red Hot Chili Peppers" play naked with his junk flopping around. |

I need to pick up HBO for a month and watch the good stuff. I listen to a Russillo and Simmons on the Ringer, who produced this doc. Looking forward to it.

Man, the conditions were disgusting. Overflowing port o potty’s, filth, urine, trash and sh*t everywhere. How did the promoters get away with that?

The $4 water would be $6 in today's money. I think I've paid $5 for water at many recent events. So thats not such an outrageously priced water that you should riot. |
