Anyone watch this on Netflix? It's a three episode Documentary about Woodstock 1999 with the original 1969 promoter/organiser, trying to create a similar vibe as the original and failing miserably, it's crazy what went on there, can't believe I never even knew about all that went on there considering I was 21 back then and it had a lot of my favourite bands playing. Pre-Social media I guess

Yeah that's a different doc ^
Seen the first ep and a bit of this and it is really interesting. In many ways seems like a predictable disaster with the choice of location and the flagrant profiteering which basically went against all the original values. Charging 4 dollars for a bottle of water is disgraceful and this is nearly 25 years ago. Other things were a bit out of the organisers control like stupidly hot weather and the actions of some of the festival goers which were pretty disgusting |

I watched it all this evening, pretty fascinating and disturbing. What an absolute ****show it was. I wonder if it would have been worse or better in the social media era, whether all the real time footage would have reined people in or would it whip them into more of a frenzy
Makes me think what a good job Glastonbury has done at keeping its success going all these years whilst also still being sort of true to its roots |

Wait for Limp Bizkit
Aside from the greed, it was insane to try recreate Woodstock 30 years on with a different generation, a new generation of drugs and to cap it all have in the main rock bands who just fired up the crowd, add in the heat to the mix and it was a receipe for disaster Makes me giggle to think most of these people embarrassing themselves on tv are now middle aged

They treated the paying audience like **** so it’s not difficult to see why it turned nasty

They don’t appear to think they did anything wrong ...

That was pretty messed up when they were talking about the sexual assaults and he said Woodstock was the size of a small city and these things happen in cities
I might watch the HBO doc now too as the Netflix one seems to have left some things out like someone dying during the Metallica set and the Rage Against the Machine set getting people even more worked up |

Fun fact: not really fun but I thought it was briefly hilarious. At the end sub titles came up saying Michael Lang died 3 months after filming the Documentary. I read it as 3 minutes which was really freaky

I did read an article and Tom Morello from RATM said this about it in 2000 - “I think the sexual assaults that occurred were horrific and inexcusable,” he said. “But in general, I thought the media coverage was grossly unfair and youth-bashing and tried to vilify an entire generation because of a couple of idiots there.” He seemed to have changed his mind a lot more recently - “For me, Woodstock ’99 was the low point of nu metal. The rapes in the pit, the trashing of the sites. It just seemed like it distilled the worst elements of metal — the misogynist jock buggery — and the message wasn’t announced as ‘this is a horrible thing.’ It was more like, ‘this is our new Woodstock generation — a bunch of idiots.’” But in general I don't actually blame the bands at all, they were doing what those bands do. The organisers treated the crowd like animals and they ended up acting accordingly
