Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix

I mean, most things are flammable...

Did you know that an asphalt driveway can catch fire?

For the record, I didn’t light the fire.

Was it at your house? If so then it's your own asphalt

Give a member of the counter-culture a candle and you get a prayer or a poem. Give kids a candle in 1999 and you get Beavis

Not elitist at all

Ha!

It was at a friend's. His dad and step mom stopped leaving him and his sister home alone for the weekend after that.

Look, I'm just as anti-hippie as the next guy, but it's not their fault they didn't have someone as cool as Beavis.

I still quote Beavis and Butthead from time to time.

Just finished watching all three episodes. Lang and Scher were 3 pounds of $hit in a 2 pound bag. Deliberately clueless elites smugly presiding over an increasingly hostile proletariat. Russian Revolution-type stuff.

An old friend of mine went to the 94 Woodstock. He said the conditions were totally disgusting/revolting. He wouldn't talk about it.

So I’m just sitting here watching the first episode, and it’s amazing how many memories are flooding back. Funniest part is that even after all these years, I recognized some of the naked people they flashed on the screen.

Definitely one of the more interesting experiences of my life, but man was it unpleasant.

As seems to be the case with all of the streaming platforms competing for eyeballs, HBO's Music Box series (Woodstock 99: Peace, Love & Rage) offered their take last year. I've watched both, and both are interesting...same story but different interviews with different interviewees. By the time '99 rolled around, there wasn't much that I was interested in that was featured at the concert, and it certainly was a bummer when the whole thing went up in smoke.

I'm patiently waiting for a similar/full-length doc on Woodstock '94, along with a super deluxe reissue of the music. The bands and performances in '94 were way more interesting and the music was way better (IMO), even if the story isn't as "documentary worthy" as '99. Mud pie, anyone?

Of the three major Woodstocks I’d say 94 had the most merit musically speaking.

So I agree. Full sets from a lot of those artists would be great.

I am anti human race

For some reason, I now have two songs stuck in my head...

"We are the League" by the Anti-Nowhere League and "Two Sided Politics" by Suicidal Tendencies.

First time I saw Suicidal Tendencies back in 94, my shoelace came untied. I stopped, knelt down in the middle of the pit and tied it...and nobody came near me. I then stood up, and basically the instant I was ready to start moshing, I totally got slammed into.

Only ever got into fishbone mosh pits. But I'm an old dude.

Saw Fishbone back in 2000. Had just moved into town and was waiting for my grad school program to start up. Looked up who was in town and thought, "Huh, never have seen them or actually listened to them, but they seem to have a decent following, so maybe I should check them out as I have nothing else to do."

Good show, and I was glad I went. Didn't end up being a big consumer of their music, but if I saw they were coming to town, I'd totally go see them again.

'bout the only festival I'd go to these days is Big Ears.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Don't take the brown acid!!!

 

[fourstringdrums]

Watching it now. I'm getting Sling Blade vibes

 

[5StringBlues]

So them 7 or 8 times, the 1st time being 1986 with the beastie boys sawthem

The Primus set at Woodstock '94 was great. The full show is on YouTube. Les Claypool had to stop when he started My Name is Mud because everyone started flinging mud on the stage. They apparently helicoptered in, did the show and got out of there.

I'd love a documentary about Woodstock '94.

Watching the 99 documentary and it just seems nuts. Personally never liked the big festival events that I went to back around that time, always preferred solo shows.
