The Woodstock 99 Disaster: Drunkards, Durst, and Destruction
Ойын-сауық
Woodstock 99 was a billed as 3 more days of peace and music, but ended with riots, destruction and death for a myriad of reasons. The whole event was filled with ridiculous performances and absurd antics, making for an interesting event worth looking back at to learn from and laugh at.

Man Woodstock 99 could've ended so differently had the organisers actually gave a shit about the concert goers. Spending the money on providing better toilets, providing real security and not extorting those in attendance charging them ridiculous fees for basic essentials like water and food. No wonder there was so much angst and violence, it absolutely falls on the organisers. Saying all that, I would've loved to have been in attendance just to witness it for real.

Yeah - conditions were not optimal by any means - neither were the conditions with the first Woodstock... As a Gen X'r myself - I am mortified at the rage-filled temper tantrums these people were throwing, destroying property and each other while burning whatever shit they could down. Granted, people were dying, girls were getting gang raped, the heat made things uncomfortable and all of that was on top of being FORCED into grueling pangs of hanger. But taking responsibility or even a modicum of personal accountability for the recklessly stupid decisions that we were making - is definitely everyone else's fault. Say what you will about millennials and the up and coming gen z'rs - but this shit show was on us - and it's embarrassing AF. I thought we were better than this.
Actually, throwing all the bottles on the stage when provoked to and sweeping them up is a great way to partially clean up the property during the concert.
The people to blame for this event are solely and only the event organizers. Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit and those bands do what they do. That why they brought them there. Pointing fingers at the bands, who were just putting on the show they were paid to put on is total BS. Any finger pointing to anyone else other than the event organizers is BS and just simple.

But I was 14 and my parents would have never let me. When 99 happened, despite there being a bunch of bands we liked, my friends and I chose to go to Warped Tour in Montreal that same weekend. And we made the CORRECT DECISION! I remember being stuck in the Woodstock traffic as we had to drive past Rome, NY to get to where we were going. I remember some hot guys in the traffic trying to talk my friend and I into going to Woodstock instead. I have never been so happy to miss a concert 😂😂😂😂 Sleeping in a nice hotel in Montreal and not in a feces covered tent in Rome was definitely the way to go.

I tried to go to the 1994 Woodstock! Total misery. After a couple of songs by Joe Cocker I packed my bags and left. I was relatively young at the time 34! I knew things were about to get really bad when an old hippie with a beer in his hands thought he’d entertain the youngsters in my area with “I was at the ‘69 show it was great” the kids asked him hey where did you use the bathroom there doesn’t seem to be any around. It was true and if you left your spot you lost it immediately. The hippie replied oh we just went wherever we was standing at. I looked at my bag with cameras and nice clothes and decided to hop in my car and drive home to Maryland. Best decision I ever made. About 45 minutes down the NY turnpike it started to pour rain. I realized then I made the absolute best decision of my life. Hey I caught the Stones the night before so I knew better and raised the white flag. It also was a disaster! If you want quality music and a good time go to the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Best time I ever had!

8:17 Woodstock 1994's Saturday closers for the North Stage were: Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, and Aerosmith. Doesn't get talked about much does it? Quite a heavy trio of bands, and yet it went on without much fanfare. Blaming the music doesn't hold much water for as to why the chaos occurred in '99. The heat, the venue choice, the price gouging, and security lapses etc are more to blame for the riots and destruction at Woodstock 1999

my dad went to woodstock 69 it wasn't totally peaceful that was kind of the imagine that was created when they did the documentary. There was a lot of drug over doses, people got hurt , and at one point it was kind of unsafe to play because there had been lots of rain and the sound stage was electric and there were issues with that. My dad said the grateful dead hated being there and played their worst set ever. It wasn't necessarily as great as people say it was. It was just luck that nothing too serious happened. Although when the festival was over there was a huge clean up and the place was trashed. My dad said it was cool but like not as great as they made it out to be.

Durst saw how angry and excited the crowd was. He was able to calm down the audience but he didn't that. He litted up the audience more and caused more harmness.
Forgot to mention when PRIMUS played “My Name is MUD” and the massive audience pelted the stage with MUD! The entire mosh pit turned into a giant mud pit. Oh wait- I think this was Woodstock ‘94….
Funny to blame the artists. LB, RHCP, Rage and Matalica have played tens of thousands of shows before and after Woodstock 99. While yes, people commonly sustain injuries in any pit, I was accidentally punched in the face at a Springsteen concert for heaven sakes, these bands haven't had riots at their previous or subsequent concerts. If LB made teens riot, it would stand to reason that all of their concerts would have been riots. On the other hand, Mike Lang totally blew Woodstock 69 and 99. If you provided the same lack of security, trash cans, bathrooms, lack of water, a riot would have broken out if the festival acts were Debbie Boon, the Eagles and Air Supply.

And the documentary clearly ended with ALL the people who had been interviewed saying it was the greatest thing that had happeened in their lives and they'd do it all again. So after the doc I came here for more of hte music acts, because its true, I wouldn't have guessed the Tragically Hip were there or tons of other acts.

Its like the 'new america' meant you should bend over for corporations and pay through the nose and take whatever they dish out. It was CLEARLY the organizers fault, thats was well established in the documentary. Anytime you are bathing in shitwater you aren't 'sensationalizing' how bad things are.

you pay 155 dollars a ticket and make all food and water outrageously priced !! then a crazy part was couldn't find water because the fountains broke ! so people started to get mad a show they were mad by destroying everything. !!

And remember, the majority of concert attendees were teenagers and kids in their early 20s. For a 20 year old working minimum wage ($5.15 an hour at the time), the ticket cost alone was a week’s income. Add to that, gas to get there, so another $20 bucks, then you’re told you can’t bring in food or water (another $20 in confiscated snacks) and have to buy their’s at an 800% markup (bottle of water cost about 50-75 cents at stores in 1999). So by Sunday, that 20 year old has spent $75 just for enough food and water to live on for 2 days, the campsite is flooding with sewage, the hundred degree heat is coming back, and the hangover is setting in. Multiply that, and you’ve got 200,000 people who are overheated, dehydrated, filthy, broke, and pissed off. You could have had Simon and Garfunkel on stage, it didn’t matter. The powder keg was going to blow.

Woodstock 99 was/is beautiful depiction of its times. Anger, frustration and feeling of being a loser before your adult life has truly begun on the one side and greed, consumerism and control of a market on the other. Ironically history has ended. Corporations control’s people even more precisely. “Luckily” anger has diluted somewhere in the meantime.

Well put. I will say the anger hasn't been diluted, it's now just been directed in a more "beneficial" manner (towards eachother rather than those at the top).
Love that your background music went from Liquid Tension Experiment to the Third Day-music from Majora's Mask!

You got a lot of people who think they can just fly by the seat of their pants when arranging these huge events. They're either oblivious or apathetic to the actual amount of care and planning you need to make sure attendees are happy and safe.

I think you are missing the point. Part of what makes a life changing event/festival/concert what ever is people living in the moment, enjoying the experience and savouring the occasion. Not trying to take some shitty video every 2 minutes or upload a stupid filtered photo to their insta account or checking to see who’s given them a like so they can feel validated in some way. I feel sorry for your generation it’s not your fault but smart phones would definitely not have had a positive influence on the original Woodstock

There was many others that had tragic things happen after Woodstock 99 Dimebag Darrell The Station Fire And others We must learn from the past
It was fucking awesome..I'd love to go bk and live those days again
jamiroquai played at woodstock 99! they tried throwing waterbottles at jay kay but he dodged them all, even though their performance wasnt perfect it was probably one of the better ones
People called this a disaster I had an awesome time I remember dancing around this huge fire to the chili peppers doing cover of Hendrix fire......also kid rock killed it
It was organised by the hippie's that organised the original one of 69. They were out of touch with the modern generation x, who didn't want to put flowers in their hair and talk about peace and love. They wanted to get smashed, laid and listen to angry rock music. Also were naive to sub contractors wanting to rip the crowd off. Recipe for disaster.

The three funnest days of my friends and I lives. The ticket package I got for the three of us including hotel accommodations and shuttle transport from Syracuse, NY. The hotel we stayed at also had the performers staying there too. Fred Durst blew me off for an autograph the morning after their performance. Haven’t bought any Limp Bizkit album since.
My dad was actually at both woodstock 94 and 99
im so happy my parents told me not to go i could not imagine this
Best fun me and my mates ever had. Great Times.
“There wasn’t a tree in sight across the entire event”. Camera proceeds to show trees in the background at the event lmao
Woodstock 99, the way the kids reacted was probably the most punk rock thing ever, although if I were there I’d probably be scared and wanna get tf outta there, passing out candles to 100,000 was not the smartest move
No-one there got a candle and thought ooh flame. They all had cigarette lighters on them anyway. haha
so much for peace and love
