Although I have already seen a full length documentary about this disaster of a festival, my friend recommended me this three part tv documentary series about debacle called Woodstock in 1999.

Thirty years after original Woodstock which happened in 1969, original promotor Michael Lang wanted to revive the feeling of peace, love, unity and positive energy, found sponsors and decided to make Woodstock happen again. The line-up was totally great featuring Metallica, RHCP, RATM, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Kid Rock, Offspring, but also Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson and James Brown as a kind of bridge between old and new generations. It was all well imagined, 250 000 crowd on former abandoned airfield and airbase in upstate New York with three days of superb music, fun and feelgood. What could go wrong? Well, everything! My personal opinion that the main idea and engine of promotors for this festival was greed and not original Woodstock ideas and their fault is equal that crowd of rowdy assholes raped, pillaged, burned and destroyed everything beyond imagining. I have never seen something like that. It also confirmed to me that Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit it total redneck asshole, what I have known before. If you watch it you will know why. I also blame main sponsor and I can’t let in my head thought of water denial to crowd in Summer heat and putting such prices to bottle of water. This is a great documentary and I think Woodstock brand is buried and gone. Good riddance to it as well.
