I’ve had a mild obsession with Woodstock ‘99 the past two days. Been watching some of the sets and came across your videos. Thanks for the stories. It’s cool to hear the perspective of someone who was there for all the stuff I saw in the videos.
man your stories are just so intriguing. i was born at the end of 1999 it’s so cool to hear about events like this, thank you for sharing your experience
Just saw Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99 on Netflix and wanted to hear stories of people who actually attended. Awesome you had a blast. Bummer you didn't keep the shirt you loved! I kept all my tees from my favorite band even if they have holes and pit stains. 🤭😂 Thanks for sharing!
Same I have some black concert T-shirts that have actually turned kind of green from so much sun exposure. Some people make big quilt blankets out of them. I can remember a few where I asked for a L T-shirt and it was a youth size like ahh crap no way is this going to fit me. Got about 20 or 30 shirts from concerts.
Loved these videos man. I'm in the uk. Same age as yourself. I don't really remember it at the time but over the years i like watching and hearing all the stories. It was an incredible time to be alive. 💪🏻 I miss those days. Id take those times over these with kids today identifying as dogs!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was born in 2001 but grew up on metal music, and my friend would always talk about Woodstock. I’m glad you had a great time and you were safe as well
Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience. Just finished the documentary on Netflix and was looking for some first hand experiences from attendees. Glad you remembered so many details!
Really enjoyed the experience/story! I am from Albany Ny and I remember my dad and a couple of his buddies made the trek out to Rome for it, I remember seeing pictures of some of it as a kid, was really cool to hear ur story tho. Thanks!
You must have also been so grateful to ultimately have your own place to goto and return to each night whereas most of the people in “tent city” were in fact attendees that largely couldn’t leave or rather that’s where they only had to return to at night aside from trips to a store but it’s wild to hear your experience versus those I know who hadn’t the option to go off site to sleep and or exist even without having a car to sleep in etc
I know I've spammed your videos. For that I'm sorry. Just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your story. Loved hearing about your experience and what you saw. Sounds like a great time! 🤘🏻
Thanks for sharing your story. I grew up outside of Rochester and can remember a lot of the older kids in high school going. I was in middle school at the time.
Wow man the advantage you had was being able to go back home each night. There were 200k people that slept in tents, cars, the ground, ect. They were pretty much stuck there at the mercy of the horrible venue.
Listening to you is kinda like experiencing a calmer, more easily digestible version of the Netflix documentary (which was a fairly hard watch for me).
Hope these videos get a boost thanks to the HBO documentary. I was 18 in 99 so this was a pretty important moment for all of us. Feel like it was the best of times and the worst of times. Love your story.
I've never seen food vendors with low prices. They've always been high. Remember dad would always get angry at the costly food prices at events, but was very happy to pay for expensive beer. Like dude, I've been standing in line for quite a while give me that $15 meal please!
You make a great point what we're these people thinking hippy free love a bottled water for a dollar. Every festival show I have been to has had expensive food. I think the lack of shade and bathrooms pushed people over the edge mixed with drugs and alcohol and no sleep
I’m a gen Xr so older than you. I had been to 94’ and drove 24 hrs straight from Miami with friends to go see our favorite bands like Metallica, Peppers, Rage and so on. Up until the fires, we we’re having an unforgettable weekend. It sucks that bad things were happening under our noses. Having said that, I had seen signs of trouble brewing. Sunday morning bunch of the younger guys were tearing down the wall and breaking the plywood into pieces to keep as souvenirs. I actually grabbed a piece and threw it away a couple of years ago. We fell asleep inside the rental van to the sounds of total mayhem. When the gates were opened at daybreak, we woke up and drove around the perimeter and couldn’t believe the destruction left behind. It’s complicated what happened and hard to justify but I had a blast, personally.
a lot of security had taken off their yellow shirts and joined the crowd and had given up on trying to keep control....2500 port a potties for 400k people wasn't nearly enough....it was the 10k candles that a group gave out for during under the bridge
Godsmack and Megadeth sound fun. Sucks that Aerosmith pulled out that would have been one of the best of this lineup. Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Offspring, Ice Cube all would have been great to see.
I remember finding a buddy at Ozzfest in the Gorge we were separated earlier in the day and it was like a needle in a haystack finding him as well, before cell phones were everywhere. Right at the end in the parking lot cool lets get the F outta here. Couldn't imagine how bad traffic would be at this Woodstock show.
If it is organised properly then why not, you need more space, proper crowd control barriers, police on site as well as double the amount of security, more toilets, you are allowed your own food and drinks and much more.
I loved all 3 of the videos, the Candles was to try and stop Gun crime didn't like that you didn't say that, I think by 99 love peace was well gone, anyway 👍
They’d been playing that song for years before woodstock, prob 10 years, it was on mothers milk I think, but yeah they would’ve def played it that night for sure 😉🇦🇺🍻

Check out the new hbo documentary.

Great videos dog !! Haven’t finished this video but I’ve loved them all

No need to be sorry! Very welcome and glad you enjoyed them! It was such a blast especially at 15!
I was 2 years old at the time. I had no idea a thing like this ever even occured
You have an amazing memory and very sweet energy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your story. I grew up outside of Rochester and can remember a lot of the older kids in high school going. I was in middle school at the time.
Hey! I'm from Argentina and was there too! I made a video about it (in spanish, sorry!) but you appeared as a related video. Amazing experience!
Wow man the advantage you had was being able to go back home each night. There were 200k people that slept in tents, cars, the ground, ect. They were pretty much stuck there at the mercy of the horrible venue.
Great story dude. Sounds like it wast a blast.
Thanks for sharing such a dope experience

I'd just turned 21 when I went to Woodstock and ate easily over 2 pounds of pyliociaban mushrooms
Hope these videos get a boost thanks to the HBO documentary. I was 18 in 99 so this was a pretty important moment for all of us. Feel like it was the best of times and the worst of times. Love your story.
WOODSTOCK 99 fOREVER ! Only Limp and KoRn :)
That must of been fun I was 8 year old when taht. Concvert happened that was a epic exhilarating and fun concert I bet

Listened to the whole series. Loved the story. Crazy event I was 8 when this went down man I wish I could went

Nice Video man Very nice
Woodstock 99 was not a failure. The riots happened after the last band left.
At least the bands actually played, unlike Fyre Festival! 🤣🤣🤣
1999 is probably my favorite year of my life.
I was only 8 years old in 1999.
a lot of security had taken off their yellow shirts and joined the crowd and had given up on trying to keep control....2500 port a potties for 400k people wasn't nearly enough....it was the 10k candles that a group gave out for during under the bridge

And Korn obviously!

and throw it up on to the staaaaggggggeeee
what time did brain hit the stage at?
Can you ever see something this big happening again
If it is organised properly then why not, you need more space, proper crowd control barriers, police on site as well as double the amount of security, more toilets, you are allowed your own food and drinks and much more.

Till the rave seen hit hard in early 2000s anyway, there was a few years of PLUR then haha, but that died out too unfortunately 😔🇦🇺🍻
I wonder where all those ladies are now?
I have never heard that there was suppose to be another act after RHCP
Rumors were all over the place, one of them being Alice In Chains.
@@bobbooey45 lol there is no way Alice in Chains would have performed in 99 - Layne was way too reclusive by that time
@@99bajakid that was the rumor. I know he was wasted at the time.
People thought Guns N' Roses would play after RHCP
I hated creed as well
I don’t buy the promoters claiming the Hendrix cover was to rile the crowd up, they played it way to tight for it to be a last minute thing.
They’d been playing that song for years before woodstock, prob 10 years, it was on mothers milk I think, but yeah they would’ve def played it that night for sure 😉🇦🇺🍻
I think it was ironic that they played that song but I believe it when they said they meant no ill will
I wonder why didnt nirvana play at woodstock 99
Nirvana played 2016 Coachella - pretty dope show
A certain person died 5 years earlier
Got tickets for their 2023 tour. Can’t wait 👍
@@kothen4994 who? 🤔, just fuckin with ya mate haha 👍🇦🇺😉
@@dasmuss6174 Kim il-Sung
Lucky you didn't have to stay in that cesspool.
wish you had an instagram
