In 1999, a music festival took place in upstate New York that became a social experiment. There were riots, looting, and numerous assaults. And it was set to a soundtrack of the era’s most aggressive rock bands. Incredibly, it was the third iteration of Woodstock, a festival known for peace, love, and hippie idealism. But Woodstock ’99 revealed some hard truths behind the myths of the 1960s, and the danger that nostalgia can engender.

At the end of Woodstock 99, the festival had descended into full-blown riots and hooliganism. Memorably, the Red Hot Chili Peppers concluded the festival by playing Hendrix’s “Fire,” inspiring scores of actual fires to be set all over the grounds. For those who were there, this nightmarish scenario remains unforgettable.

Woodstock's Willy Wonka
No one person embodies the Woodstock brand more than Michael Lang, the cherubic-faced concert promoter who came to fame as one of the stars of Michael Wadleigh’s 1970 documentary Woodstock.

It’s time to separate fact from mythology, and explore how the original Woodstock was in many ways as troubled as Woodstock 99.
