- Found this with my old tapes....Originally aired in December, 1999....Show was great, but cost me a few weeks upstate with the orange suit.....Still loved it & would go again anytime....Forget about all the negative tv sht......You had to be there.....It was an Epic weekend for most of us...Check out my other vids, just click on Code Red....
3 days of peace, love & music. Let's get Korn, Limp Bizkit & Rage Against the Machine to play, make everything expensive, have it on a hot weekend & not take care of anyone. What can go wrong?
Thx man. Its that Simple, why do people not understand it. You summed it up in one sentence. We were getting bullied for money in a caged in sht hole & we stood up for ourselves, period. Rock on!
@@codered99 and why were the stages like 2 miles apart? thats nuts!!!
@@codered99 shit man this is crazy how long were u inside for?
@@rohan750 They were facing each other so think it was for sound, both stages went all weekend. Thank god i found out about the runways, which could accommodate the space shuttle, i automatically thought rollerblades. They saved me, trips to vehicle, supermarket (beer,water,food) clean toilets' etc..... Could never get away with that sht today...
@@rohan750 For 2 hours of foolishness, i had 504 hours to think about it....21 dys out of 30...Don't ever get in trouble like me, it suckd
The promoter is one of the most cowardly and despicable liars I've ever seen.
I can't stand ppl who interview themselves "Could it have been better ?....Sure..."
They always are.
You got that right.
When people starting asking then answering their own questions that’s a pretty good inidication their BSing you
Totally agree! It was just about profit. I remember buying a little tub of salted potato’s and a bottle of water for 20$. Pizza slice 12$ I think it was around 20$ to withdraw cash. And all the security just walked away on the Friday night.
I love this producer guy. Apparently it was everyone's fault except his.
Right! If I ever get in serious trouble, I want this guy in my corner, lmfao
But it was lol. fucking guy was out on stage trying set things straight and the fire department or police didn't want to touch it at that point. they didn't know what they were getting into. you get that many ppl together fucked up for days things are gonna go sideways. have you ever been to a festival? its lawless and thats kind of the great freedom of it. and yeah... food is super expensive. food and drugs too. so bring your own
so the leader guy caused or allowed all the numbskulls to be stupid?
He would make a great politician.
Yeah he shouldn't have been allowed to produce so much as a high school drama play after this
Damn, we're living on Woodstock 99 prices in 2022
Shit they had it cheap compared to know
@@brianmck7363 not rlly jus inflation
Lol 12$ for a pizza and he was P*SSED lol
@@andrewchapman5659 12 bucks, a slice
What's worse is the wages remained the same (actually a decrease) with inflation factored in) and the minuscule increase of minimum wage was actually no increase at all! Just our short memories to blame here!
1999 was surely the end of an era, and Woodstock ‘99 was it.
That promoter said it was a miscalculation?!? Wtf.. They should've went to jail. 100⁰ + No water, no shade, knowing that young kids would be there & that's a miscalculation? No, that's negligence
Why did nobody get sued in the land of the lawsuit?
they hired kids to be security, instead the partied.
@@freeradical8440 Some of the kids even started selling their security tees for profit

This is one of the few Woodstock 99 documentaries that does not put all the blame on Limp Bizkit. The riots happed the day after their set! How can they be responible!
Im with you brother, we were, sun baked, broke, had toxic water if you could get some & wasted at the end. Thats why it happened....Rock On....DH.
,,because Limp was a naughty band !
they were perfect scapegoat
Yeah.
Sick of people blaming Limp Bizkit
Lol. Riots.
100% on the organizers. I was there, charging of $10 for water and not allowing anyone to bring food and water in. Plus not enough restrooms and no re-entry is a recipe for disaster. They had it on an airforce base so you were trapped in there once inside. 100% on the organizers.
no re entry for sure.
I used to go to a music festival in bc.
all fun and games until you got stopped on the highway less than 100m out of the gates and charged with impaired driving...
Fuk that's awful! Every festival I been to you could leave or bring in coolers couldn't imagine if you couldn't do either. You would need at least a couple hundred just to survive let alone enjoy the fukin show.
@@midwestmike613 certain venues they used to walk drug dogs through parking lot while concert was going on....if dog hit on the car they put a chalk mark or something blacklight on your tire and as you drove out they would look for it and flag you down. Crazy
@@lillagahnavich7700 had a friend get his tire chalked leaving a club before but that was years ago. All the festivals I been to the only thing I ever saw was undercovers busting under age kids drinking no drug dogs or anything like that.

It's 2022 and I'm literally hearing this for the FIRST TIME! WTF??
It was an awesome time…. I personally had a great weekend
I just happened to hear about this show because I had VH1 cable tv back then & news reports kept reporting the mayhem unfolding!!🙄
It's a Mandela Effect, you didn't hear about it, because it never happened in your "reality". Just wait until you see all the new animal species that exists in this reality.
I heard something about it back then ...... but didn't really give a fk 🤣
Dang dude... u never heard about this????
I remember being 15 watching the live coverage of this on mtv at my dad’s house thinking “man I wish I could have gotten to go to this”. Now I’m realizing I’m really glad I didn’t.
it was awesome
Fuck that! I was the same age, wish I was there! LMAO
Too bad, it was great!! My son was 14 at the time, we lived in Rome so of course we went. We didn’t see half of the shananigans shown here because we got to go home thank god, but it was a lot of fun!
I wish I did legendary show
I was 15 also, just watching and laughing. I wasn’t into the music do much as I was more into punk, but it was certainly entertaining to see it unfold
Woodstock '69 "We're gonna feed everybody for free man!" ☺️❤️❤️❤️
Woodstock '99 "It'll be $4 for that 12 oz bottle of water."
Exactly!!
Apparently there were food shortages at ‘69 as well
What about Woodstock 94?
on the second day I was in the crowd with my girlfriend (now wife) when I felt somebody wrap their arms around my waist from behind. I looked over my shoulder to find it was a 16-17 year old brunette girl with her eyes as wide as they could be and smiling. After a few seconds my girlfriend was offended and started to say something to her but she released me and fell on her back on the ground. She laid there in the hot afternoon sun with here eyes still open but not moving. A tall blonde girl in her mid-twenties behind us said, " don't worry about her, she'll be fine" I asked, "do you know her?" She said, "no but she'll be alright". We stood there listening to the band for about another half hour and the girl had yet to move or even close her eyes. I told my girlfriend that we had to do something. There was a big athletic guy to me left enjoying the show. I asked him if he'd help me carry the girl to get help and he said he would. He grabbed her around the chest and I grabbed her legs. I told my girlfriend to hold onto my belt as we traversed the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd and not let go. We had no idea where medics were so I banged on the leg of one the towers. A tech guy looked down and I shouted asking him where medics were. He pointed to a tent up the hill 60-70 yards away. We managed to get the girl there and were greeted by large woman in a yellow shirt. I told her the girl hadn't moved for a long time. ( I honestly didn't know if she was alive) The woman started by shouting at me and the guy, "why in the hell do you guys not have your shirts on ?!?" I was flabbergasted. I said, "half the women out there don't have shirts on !" She said, "oh, sorry, I thought you guys were med staff" After clearing that up the medic lady pulled the girl's shirt up over her face and dumped a bucket of ice water right on her chest. She shot upright, gasping for air. It was pretty much identical to the Uma Thurman overdose scene in Pulp Fiction. The woman stood her up and walked her into the tent without another word to us and we just kind of wandered off. Always wondered what happened to that gal. I would think she would have no memory of walking up and grabbing me but who knows. I can't help but feel like maybe in her really altered state she was still able to see something in my girlfriend and I that made her know we would help her.
What a history.you have something to tell your grandchildren
You're a good dude. I remember being at a local concert called X Fest in 09' that takes place in Dayton Ohio. My buddy was kinda heavy set, and kept saying he was gonna crowd surf during mudvayne. Well mudvayne was up and my buddy got a group of people to lift him up. He went a few feet and then BOOM. Literally fell on his head and knocked out cold. It took 6 of us to carry my friend to the medical tent. He ended up being fine and we laugh about it today lol
Good on you man. Maybe she was looking for you to help. What a story
@@playboyeightseven What a F**kin* long story
Woah !!!
🤝
I was 22 & I loved all these bands, but also, I don’t know how they expected it to be peace & love & quiet unity with mosh pits and that kind of energy with a crowd that size. This wasn’t ever going to be anything close to Woodstock, outside the name & state. It could never be recreated. People were different, times were different, music was different. Some things in life are just one off amazing phenomena.
This weekend at Woodstock 99 was one of the best weekends of my life! I said to my friends walking down the runway into the last evening as they were handing out candles in the way in...." this is a bad idea!" .... my words were unknowingly foreshadowing the stupidity of the end of the concert.
Had the same thought when I saw them passing out candles.
Woodstock '99 happened about 2 weeks before my 21st birthday - I wanted to go SO badly. I couldn't afford a ticket, gas money to get there, and food/drink once inside. I sulked at home most of the weekend, and then the reports started coming out about what went down. Then I was so glad I didn't go because being a 20-year-old idiot at the time, I definitely would've made a lot of bad decisions there.
I had my ticket but was in county....
Yeah man... so.... much DOOKIE!!!!! O_O
Definitely would've got your ass kicked there. 🤣
i was 21 too. I must say, Woodstock 94 was much better.
It was SO easy to “sneak” into Woodstock 99
1999, just started high school, all of these bands were the thing, and went to school jamming out on my CD player in my first truck. I miss the hell out of those times.
You and me both. Getting older blows, and it pains me to sit and realize those days are 20+ years behind us never coming back. Now I know what my parents always whined about growing up with their “good old days”.
Even though Woodstock 99 was a shitshow, I still wish I could’ve went with my friend’s older brother. Saw it all on PPV, but just to see these bands during their prime at this specific event would’ve been awesome as it was wild to even watch it on my TV lol. Still have my Woodstock ‘99 2-disc set.
I was 19 and say what you want it was an absolutely awesome time. I’d do it all over again in a heart beat. Extreme Heat, no water no sleeping but we survived and it was a great time in my life.
You didn’t know any better
What was more fun? The various rapes that occurred, the E. coli water, the sewage fields, or the $12 pizza?
I wish I had to opportunity to go but I was sadly only 8 at the time listening to all those bands 😂
Podcast 99 brought me here. Loved your survivor story!!
Thx, I could talk for another 2 hours about different stories there, great time...DH
Can you imagine the smell of some of those clams in that heat? 😂
Well Hinkster, after 3 days in the sun it's like rotting mayonnaise in a burlap sack
Hot dumpster full of old tuna just baking in the sun🤮
@@bgangler877 you got me craving a hot 5$ Foot-long
Lmaooo 🤣
That fromunda cheese was kickin' too.
The music was great.
The 12oz bottles of water for $8 when the dry heat was oppressive as fuck was a damn crime. People were pissed, dehydrated, and EVERYTHING cost 5x what it should. It got crazy when the propane tanks started exploding...
With the quality of the bands AND people being what it is today, it is just not possible to have something like this go off without a hitch.
This could be prevented if the audience isn't a bunch of early twenties anarchists and hippies

Oh 1999. No stupid phones. No tik toks. Just kids being themselves.
What happened at Woodstock ‘99 falls 1000% on the event organizers and MTV. Putting 250,000 people on a 5-mile cement slab for 3 days in July, taking away their food and water in order to price gouge them, letting drug dealers have the run of the place, and hiring kids off the street to work security because real security guards won’t work 3 straight days for just over minimum wage. Then MTV advertised the event in the run-up. The event organizers may use the “we were trying to promote peace and love” line now, but MTV’s promotions hyped up nothing but sex, drugs, and rock and roll. You look at some of the pay-per view ads, and it looked like they were selling the event as an orgy with bands. Then everyone acted shocked that young women got violated.
... makes me wonder how "Wacken" works year after year w/o such a result.
I am 47, live in Glasgow, Scotland & have went to heavy metal concerts since i've been 14. I have NEVER saw an audience at a heavy metal show behave like they at this Festival. The human beings are to blame for their behaviour & must take responsibility for their own actions, not the festival organisers-fact. Basic stuff folks, along with the fact it might have rained that weekend, would the organisers have been to blame for a wet weekend too?
@@tonywelsh3709 dude it was unsanitary. Even the water they provided for free was filled with shit. Imagine living in a camp. Paying 150 and then the organization that planned the event not taking responsibility then and now.
@@tonywelsh3709 it was 100% the promoters fault...

@@blachubear Can’t wait to watch it tomorrow night. I’m glad they didn’t get to stage Woodstock 2019. Just let it be a part of history and stop trying to resurrect the past
@@cggg5089 he is so aggravating lying and stuff. When all they had to do was listen to the new guy but blatantly ignored him.
@@cggg5089 I can say Generation X ensured Woodstock was destroyed for good. By 1999, you had Nu-metal (Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine), Heavy Metal (Metallica who headlined night 2 and Megadeth who played West Stage and headlined there night 3 as the fires raged from Chili Peppers), some Alternative acts and Lilith Fair acts but music diversity didn't fly by then and since this was at an Air Force Base with a promoter who was greedy and stupid, you knew the end of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Over the Edge was bound to happen. Woodstock '94 went unscathed but would have been epic if Rush played (imagine hearing Xanadu or Stick It Out or Tom Sawyer or seeing Neil Peart's drum solo with revolving kits they would have been going nuts for Canada's greatest) although two of Rush's ex-opening acts Primus and Candlebox played (the former opened the Roll the Bones Tour, latter Counterparts Tour when their debut album exploded).
Technically I'm a Xennial (or Microgeneration XY) as I was born at the transitional point which was 1976-82 and the Xennials are a micro-generation (babies of 70s, children of 80s, teenagers of 90s, spent majority of 20s in 2000s etc). I would have gone to Woodstock 99 but me being Autistic I would have gone haywire mentally with the crowds and the fact I've never done drugs nor smoked nor drank but love me rock music. Plus was on a two week sabbatical at Hampton Beach, NH enjoying that strip for the last time at age 23 and buying bootleg concerts on cassette or CD from Queen/Pink Floyd/Rush etc, waterslides, pinball games and girls calling me a nerd after smiling at them in a polite manner and not showing my body parts as I was not a partier. Plus Woodstock '99 was the same weekend as the First Blood match on WWF Fully Loaded at between Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Undertaker PPV which I called my buddies to get results and was ecstatic that Austin won and watched JR sing "nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, OH HELL YEAH! GOODBYE" to Mr McMahon the next night on Raw.
I was 30 at the time and had no interest in much of the bands that played there. I used to go to 69 reunions in the 1980s and it was not all peace and love like the film shows. A lot of bad things went on in 69 too, it just did not have all the video coverage 99 had.
not really. What happened at Woodstock in 69 is WELL documented. What are you talking about? They were filming in '69 as a MOVIE for a movie and had a complete movie crew with all the cameras filming EVERYTHING. What are you talking about?? There were more cameras in '69 than '99. people still didn't have cellphones then. '69 was very well filmed and covered.
The fact they didn't take care of proper sanitation or other basic human needs...i would be pretty pissed too if I spent that much money a day to experience an 1700s POW camp.
Different generation. Different music. Different ideas 💡
Unfortunately.
I was one of the lucky few there! I personally had a great time… watching megadeth as the last show of the weekend was absolutely awesome…. I didn’t sleep in shit.
Me too...Great Time....99% of us didn't sleep in sht. Only the idiots camped right next to overflowing toilets & broken water spigots slept in it, just move the tent guys...Rock On brother....DH.

We did this every weekend in my town. In the 90s of course.
Yea fr lol The fucking 90's man
Lol true
So rapists and people who committed assault never got caught but this guy went to prison because he helped people steal some shit that would have probably been smashed or stolen anyway?
Thanks, I know, i plead guilty to riot cause i felt bad for makin a mess. But glad i was there as two little punks tried setting the 15 Ace trailers on fire. I yelled at them like a bear, got 5 guys together & put out the 8ft x 8ft fire in the boxes. Would have burnt the trailers, 20-30 trees & fried out kids sleeping in their tents surronding Ace. Im no hero, but not an axxhole....DH
@@codered99 oh that's you in the video?
@@ispartacus1337 Ya, 21 days of hell, clock moves so fckn slow. DH
Are u surprised by this? i There we're thousands of people at the show. How would it even be possible for these people to caught for that shit? There's no way the police could of done anything unless they we're there the moment the sexual assaults happened. Also it was 1999, most people didn't carry cell phones and certainly nobody has cameras on there phones.
No one forced the girls to be naked..... Rape is never acceptable but they helped to the party by being naked in that kind of environment!! It wasn't a safe environment let alone naked!
Different times, different mindsets, different circumstances, different music, different culture(s) compared to the 1st Woodstock. Whatever this producer in '99 had in mind, he was losing before he started.
He had in mind 1 thing is money and it worked they made millions
This concert ended the 90's and a generation. After this concerts were massively expensive, concerts were flooded with cell phones, etc. Music was angry and I think people were already looking for a way to express themselves. This same summer I went and saw Eminem, Black Eyed Peas (pre Fergie), Molotov, DropKick Murphys, Avail, Sucidal Tendencies, etc. in New York City all for $32 to put things in perspective at the Vans Warped Tour. Most entertaining part was watching these suburban kids have to transfer to a bus on 125th Street in Harlem to catch the bus to Randalls Island.
Pre Fergie ! I agree with the end of the 90s part .

@@tonywelsh3709 💯facts.
You mostly nailed it. In 2K I had a Motorola Star Tac, one of the better phones, and the pics sucked. Like 140x220 blurry crap, and no video. 2006ish was when phones started to be a lot more prevalent. Music is def nothing like it was in the 90's. FCK that dustbin Randall's Island tho.
The cell phones and exorbitant prices happened quite awhile after ‘99 (closer to ‘05, or even ‘10) but I agree that nothing will come close to the concert experience of the 90’s. Waiting in line at a music store for their Ticketmaster booth to open, $30 max for general admission, no phones (though people brought disposable cameras), and just way better quality acts in general. I feel bad for teenagers nowadays. Their music sucks and the concert experience is shelling out $100 to stay in your seat and record everything on your cell.
Fantastic mini-doc. Hearing a first person POV is really fascinating and describes just how out of line Woodstock 99 was

Woodstock 69 was the end of the peace and love era . Woodstock 99 was the end of the teenage angst era
Always felt that Woodstock '99 was Woodstock overkill. The 1969 one was a well-needed escape because of the heaviness of what was going on in the 1960s from four major assassinations (JFK, Malcolm X, MLK Jr. and RFK), Civil Rights movement, escalation of the war in Vietnam, deeply divided country, anti-war protests, riots around the country after MLK was assassinated, the 1968 Presidential election campaign and... so forth. Though the original Woodstock wasn't perfect and had some misfortunes it's still a great moment in music history. The 1994 Woodstock was understandable because it was a 25 year anniversary of celebrating that special nostalgic moment that took place in 1969. Also they it even more magical by bringing some of the original acts to the 1994 Woodstock. Woodstock '99 felt like disconnected from the nostalgic vibe that the other notable Woodstock had. Felt more like a cash grab than anything else. Plus I wonder who the genius was that allowed three heavy, aggressive, high-energy rock bands to play back-to-back-to-back on Saturday night. Thanks to the the well-noted and well-publicized negativity that took place at Woodstock 1999 it destroyed any chance of having a Woodstock 2019 (50th anniversary)no matter was being promised by the promoters.
The 94 bands had the right vibe... Porno for Pyros, Blind Melon, Violent Femmes, lots of these bands were influenced by the previous generation of psychedelic influenced music
And HISTORY repeats itself. 🎵🌻🌚🌼🎶”When will they ever learn? When, will they ev…er learn…..”???
I was at the 94 Woodstock had a great time very peaceful saw Metallica Aerosmith Spin Doctors . Yeah the 99 should never have happened.
limp bizkit was on the afternoon and late afternoon shift, and like not much bad happened at the limp bizkit show (at least I think) and korn, ratm and kid rock playing at woodstock was really cool, I liked the shows, really cool but the audience was pissed at the organization and ended up burning everything and on Sunday it got worse
but in terms of audience and theme and organization, woodstock 94 was better, but in general, woodstock 99 was better for me, even though it was an apocalypse
I went I left after about 4 hours. You could see what was going to happen. My parents gave me 1500 bucks to go with my friends. I came home with 900 and said it didn't seem right. I took that 900 bucks and bought a crx lol. You could sense what was going to happen people where to high and drunk to care. It was a shit storm from the beginning. Intuition kicked in. My friends and I didn't need to be there. Still have that little crx and my daughter will get it very soon lol.

If Queen time traveled from 1981 to 1999, I guarantee you Freddie Mercury would have said to the crowd "stop the shit, violence is going on and people getting hurt. Let's have a good time" and then would get the crowd to sing and Brian May's guitar solo spot would have lulled the crowd. Maybe not play "Sheer Heart Attack" as that was Queen's second encore and song Freddie would knock down amps. Also listening to Rush live 1978 when Geddy Lee stopped the show to tell the crowd to move back gently. Pink Floyd and Roger Waters circa 1977 would have been screaming and cursing at the crowd to stop the fires and violence.
@sambarefoot6563 Charming.
In my opinion, the '69 Woodstock worked because there were no expectations beyond the music itself. And the quality of the music and artists was very, very high as can be seen in the movie that was made about it. The themes in the music were about peace and rejecting violence as the anti-war movement was strong and getting stronger. The main drugs that were circulating was psychedelics (LSD) and weed. The combination of drugs and music satisfied most of the audience and so the event went off peacefully. The 1999 event had music that was more frenetic and violent that reflected a more confrontational American culture of the time. And alcohol was being consumed more than the '69 event. And alcohol and crowds tend to lead to violence and hooliganism. So that's what you got.
People chase after something being better than the last thing, which is why people weren’t content with just watching a few bands then mellowing out and going to bed. Instead they gotta take ecstasy and head to the 24h drum and bass tent, have an orgy then take speed so you don’t have to sleep the next day, at which point your up for tearing down scaffold, looting vendors and turning trailers into bonfires.
This is why LSD (and weed until very recently in a few places) are illegal whereas the violence drug is legal.
Woodstock 69 worked because the trend was about this fake peace and love snd everyone was high out of their minds. Woodstock 99 was a bunch of drunk hell raisers encouraged to break stuff.
Thank you. Somebody who gets it. Idk why they need to have so much alcohol available everywhere
@@bigeddiespaghetti5618 Is that also why people have affairs? Must get real boring pumping the same old same old.
This was one big Psychological operation. It was on a Military base and they did this to see what people would do in this type of situation.
Nice to see that you're AWAKE and you're also SPOT ON.....def. a psy.op.
Finally, a video on here I can say I was there! We left before it got out of hand because of our work schedule. I remember seeing the bonfire before it got crazy, my friend mentioning how close it was to the stage and saying to that someone would be getting kicked out for it. The next day we saw all of the news about the rioting. We left right about the time it started or it was getting ready to start. We all were dumbfounded about it, but not surprised. I do remember people being mad about paying $4.00 for a bottle of water and the high prices for other necessities. Also remember people pelting the MTV site with trash all weekend.
Best time of my life. Straight up.
And still never been laid !!...............kidding !!
It’s just one of those days
what a shame it ended badly, was thinking of going, flying from the U.K, as the 1st woodstock l was a one year old, but was brought up on the woodstock vibe.
Many have tried to reproduce the 69 Woodstock experience. That was my generation, and it truly was “Peace and Love”. We policed one another, and held a strong sense of moral, ethical, and humanitarian values toward everyone. I’m not saying we were all perfect, but we were better than this….
Looks like yet another boomer commented without actually bothering to watch the video, which clearly lays out how horribly the attendees were treated. As we look at these events with greater understanding, it’s obvious that the lion’s share of the blame is on the boomer organizers who main motive was greed, so they cut the budget on basic utilities and turned the event into a hellhole of exploitation and neglect. They disrespected the attendees, so they got that bad karma of disrespect bouncing right back at them.
@@betsylaughlin8652 Of course Betsy. It’s all the boomers fault that people behave like savages instead of human beings. I noticed there weren’t any fences there keeping people “in”. When “Boomers” have a problem with the venue, they simply find the first exit. They don’t burn the place down, RAPE and defile young women, or roll around in shit, then complain about the smell. 500,000 people attended Woodstock 69. There was little water, even fewer vendors, and one porta-potty for every 2,000 people. We didn’t riot, rape, or burn the place down. We shared what we had with our brothers and sisters, and made one of the most positive events in history possible. We had a “can do” attitude and dealt with it. Seems all your generation is good at is whining, complaining, and finger pointing. If you don’t like the situation, make it better. And that’s what my generation did. What’s yours done? Besides consume?
I was so glad I bought my own food and was totally high throughout this entire festival lol
We left after Metallica. Probably the smartest move we made that weekend. You could just see it building to something that was going to be out of control. Now ‘94, that was just a good time. I just remember being covered in mud and on acid. Good times.
Metallica was a great show, watched from beer gardens with shrooms. Had tix to 94 but had to work. My brother and buddy are on the music cd covered with mud. My brothers on top right corner with mouth wide open screaming, has a necklace on as well. ..Rock on..DH.
very smart move leaving after Metallica.. heck i would of been gone Sunday morning. I heard a lot of ppl were frying on Acid during Nine Inch Nails set in 94.. what an awesome time to be alive
Some of that wasn't mud though 🤮
and you saw Metallica
94 was better and so was the acid..
I understand promoters are universally slimy but that dude takes the slime cake
Let’s give a bunch of candles to a bunch of kids who are already going nuts GREATEST IDEA EVER 🤣😂🤣
Thanks for sharing
I was 19 when this happened, I totally forgot about this. Fucking legendary!🤘🤘🤘
Sleeping in shit was legendary?
@@Grym0626 That whole sht in the tents is blown out of proportion. If you camped right next to the smelly sht toilets with broken water spigots, yes the river would flow into your tent. Campground was 240 acres. I camped under the beautiful trees away from sht & was bone dry all weekend, even when it rained out twice for 10 minutes....DH
I was 19 too.
During limp bizkit some railroad bum wondered I’m and was ripped to shreds like a n animal getting torn apart by hyenas. Then everyone was drinking from his skull
And prosthetic leg
@@oldironsides4107 is that English, or a word milkshake?
The problem was that this particular event drew a ton of people whos only intent was taking advantage of other people and violence.
Yea man I think you’re right, having been there myself. If this had been out west or even Midwest it woulda been a totally different vibe.
Take a moment and try to imagine this... 'Woodstock '22'...
I was there. During Limp Bizkit's set (of which almost nobody paid attention to), water balloons were thrown at MTV. They said it was glass and maybe one was thrown, but mostly water balloons. The problem with Woodstock 99, was that it was price gouging at its worse, and it was over 90 degrees all 3 days with no shade.
By the time it hit the 3rd day, I would say half the people had left that morning. The mellower acts of Sunday consisted of Jewel, Elvis Costello, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Willie Nelson. The only 2 rock acts on the main stage were Creed and RHCP.
Nudity was so prevalent for the first 2 days, by the 3rd day, it was like "so what." I did see one person get sexually assaulted, and she beat the piss out of her assaulter.
Even back then I thought Limp Biscuit sucked. Just one of those bands. I loved RHCP but by the 3rd day i would have skipped them. Saw them at Palooza.
I went to "Sars Stock" in Canada in 2003. There were half a million people like Woodstock. It was one day but tons of great bands like the Stones, Rush, AC/DC. It was damn hot for Canada that day. In the 90s. People slipped into any sliver of shade they could find. I learned my lesson about heat exhaustion a few times so i was hydrated. Halfway through they handed out cases of water from small trucks. Of course its in Canada so people were less violent lol. I mean even after the show it was pretty quiet. We came from Buffalo and stayed overnight. We were so tired we just passed out.
i like the fact after only 2 days everyone was just fine with everyone being nude lol. i would think it would take longer than that is all. glad that girl beat her assulter too.
Literally 500k people paid attention to limp bizkit. The entire place went absolutely crazy for them.
@@smillingkyle15 they really didn’t it was quiet half the time
@@smillingkyle15 them and Korn, RHCP was last act they handed out candles and Red sang Fire! so I wager a guess they wanted this woodstock to go down in flames.
I love how the “Bahston guy” was talking like he was some sort of freedom fighter.
I was going to college in Rochester NY. About 15 of my friends and I went for Woodstock 99’. One guy was smart to rent a RV that saved our ass. Of course it was chaotic but fun. Third day we were getting into the music and fires started, when we were departing and my picture was on the front page with the trailer lit up. With certain things consumed I don’t totally remember all of it. Korn was my favorite sleep who needs that
A lot of effort was made to get great bands, but not a lot of effort on the safety or wellbeing of the people that attended!
I remember MTV at the time broadcasting Woodstock ‘99 nonstop for the full weekend, saying how amazing it was, so culturally significant etc. Then Monday morning all the newspapers actually showing the mess and destruction
The greed at concerts still exist. The mark up on a simple bottle of water is insane.
All this mayhem could bave been avoided if only they had Sha-na-na on as the last act
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!! thats hilarious
Absolutely the craziest show I ever attended and I've been to a lot.
U havnt been to a one direction concert. The girls go insane for those Korean boys
I love how they try and ponder a deeper meaning to the chaos..." kids were looking to connect to something but didn't know how. " Blah blah blah...stfu.
Shit got crazy...period
Always has always will
these people were treated like animals for 3days , they were angry by Sunday. The water was contaminated, thousands of people got sick afterwards. What happened was a result of the promoter's greed.
Damn. Long live rock 🪨 n roll 🤘I miss the 90s.
It's crazy cuz the 1st Woodstock had rain, overcast weather and everyone happy, sharing water drugs food nd free love. Woodstock 99 had hot weather all 3 days, not a cloud in sight, and instead of free lov , this ended with countless rapes the last night and huge fires everywhere, heat exhaustion and over priced everything. The complete opposite.
Watch green days set if you think there was no mud bud
@@jeremyhansen2611 u know what I saw after I said that lol I even watched it live on MTV lol.
@@jeremyhansen2611 I changed it .
Hell yeah!
Sign of the turn of century to come imo
I was there and they were charging so much money for water and there was huge shortage of garbage cans and all the volunteers at the end quit it was a total disaster and mismanaged beyond belief.
I ask everyone who has watched this, go back to RUclips and search Korn, blind, at Woodstock. One of the most insane performances in history
I absolutely got crushed up front against the fence when they started that song. I'm a big guy but was worried about getting crushed. I spent 20 minutes just trying to help people over the fence that were getting destroyed
KoRn..the best damn band in the world...still kicking ass into their 50s..only them and LB can move a crowd like such!
@@nofrenz2065 I agree no doubt with Korn. And I loved LB as well. But LB couldn't sniff Metallica's jock. With respect
@@richlewis1879 my bad..yes Metallica!🤘
I still have the vhs copy of this somewhere laying around. I was only like 12 years old but it gave me goosebumps watching them open up with blind. That n all of the lovely scenery lol
anyone watching this in 2022 thinking "4 dollars a water ain't bad" lol last concert i went to was in vegas - 2 months ago. 12 bucks a water. 20 bucks for a beer...smh
I wish i was there . . . .
Looks like a great time...to be anywhere else on the f*ckin' planet, but there..
Speaks volumes of the difference between the two generations
Exactly!
Every time John Scher comes on, I just get more and more pissed with him! He completely avoids responsibility and blames everyone else for his actions! He caused this disaster!
If you look up the word "Weinerly" in the dictionary, they now a picture of John Scher. For the online version, you can click on his face and starts giving whining excuses, as an example.
John Scher totally contradicted himself from VH1 to HBO Doc
Imagine all the lives ruined by the event. We're talking thousands.
Best weekend of my life!! First 3 some
I am Italian, in 1999 I was 13 years old and those bands that performed I saw them on MTV, I did not know all this mess that I saw thanks to Netflix but I wanted to be there, there was a real energy
I was living with my girlfriend in Woodstock when this concert happened and we both got the hell out of town for the weekend!
The 60's were a time where the youth...had a completely different life and set of priorities this is the major reason the festival flopped.
Society has changed, that's for sure. People have become more triggered & angry in the past couple decades. Being among a large, hot crowd with angry music is just an disaster in the making.
Woodstock '94 didn't flop, and you guys made your mistakes back then as well. Shall we mention the Altamont Free Concert in December of 1969? You guys were the originators of bad festivals, so thanks a lot.
"They took it to the edge" just like you knew they would
Man up I was like 13 when this happened by 15 this is how we celebrated Broncos games regularly in Colorado as family fun ..
“I don’t feel any remorse for what I’ve done....” That pretty much suns up this generation.
@wcompto i take it you were there and went thru that crap? The shit puddles and price gouging?
Imagine being near the stage... no food, water or bathrooms. Is that guy doing an interview from jail?? 7 more years it will be 35 years from Woodstock 94, 30 years from Woodstock 99 and 60 years from Woodstock 69
There's only one Woodstock, That's the Woodstock of 69.
You've never heard of the Ozark music festival in Sedalia Missouri. Look it up
@@mylesmanion8235 I will now you mentioned it. No I have never heard of it I don't think but I am open minded and love music unknown to many as I collect vinyl records. Thanks I'll check it out
@@mylesmanion8235 oh wow. I've just checked it out. I have just come to remember that there was lots of festivals like that then. I saw a documentary about it 6 years ago now. The Electric Flag was a great band. I have one of their albums
I swear this is exactly what Michael Lang wanted. Loud music lots and lots of people. Chaos and lettting humans show who they really are. Insane.
I agree.. he never seemed phased by it.
He was a delusional hippie trying to recreate the past. Of course, Woodstock ‘69 was lightning in a bottle that only became profitable after storytellers embellished it and gave it a special mystique.
“THIS IS HOW MUCH I LOVE WOODSTOOOCCKK!!”
