A very interesting start.
Sleepin_Dragon9 August 2022
The carnage that was Woodstock 99, could the original idea of peace and love work with a nineties crowd, the answer very much not.

It's quite a wild start, I wasn't sure this was going to hold my attention, but it's actually an excellent beginning, you see the carnage, the end point, but here it gives you the beginning, the preparation, but more than that it explains the whole attitude at the time, where people were at, it wasn't peace and love.

That was a pretty special era musically, you see and hear the groups, it brings back special times. Korn, Sheryl Crow, Rage against the machine, class.

Insightful interviews, well produced.

Very good, 8/10.

Creepy foretelling of the rise of populism in USA today
msghall5 August 2022
Watching this series is not a pleasant experience. It's definitely not the peace and love vibe of the original Woodstock. The generation attending that festival became Democrats. The generation attending '99 have grown into their 40's as Republicans, the sexism spreading like a disease through the Woodstock '99 crowd now manifests itself as 40-somethings cheering the overthrow of Roe vs. Wade. The privileged elitism of '99 generation knows no boundaries, so entitled does it feel. As the Sunday night of the festival showed, the dawn of ugly populism was already percolating in '99, not just in the form of the creepy, avaricious organizers but breeding in the Lord of the Rings mob of a crowd so predictive of the Jan 6 riots last year.

Rush saved my life

Great documentary in both subject and storytelling. The interviews were relevant and the timeline flowed easily. It was cool to see it from the bands perspective.

It started out wrong
servechilled11 August 2022
The pemise starts out wrong from the start. They said FightClub was to show the anger of the generation but that movie didn't come until 3 months after tbe Festival. Its like Antifa Gone Wild. The organizers did everything they could to cause it and nothing to prevent it. What do you except when its 113 degrees, no water, no food and the most rocking nu metal bands? Juat another Netflix special where they blame white people and 'toxic males' for everything while ignoring the String Cheese Incident was there, DMX etc. I was there 95% of the peoole were fine. Corporate greed killed the 90s and it only has gotten 1000 times worse.
