I was looking at the films from Woodstock in 1969 the other day....and then saw on Netflix a piece on Woodstock 99' which was produced by practically the same people.
Let's face it....they were both disasters.....but for different reasons.
This was Woodstock 69'
This was Woodstock 99'
- With just three weeks until the Woodstock 50 festival, acts are dropping out and organizers have not secured a venue. This isn't the first Woodstock anniversary event that's come upon some trouble.
- The '69 festival, which was about music, peace, and love, was honored with a 30th-anniversary music festival in 1999.
- Woodstock '99 was marred with riots and violence.

Michael Lang who produced 3 Woodstocks....died this year in Jan....just a few days after the Netflix documentary was finished.
