I was LAUGHING at all the lazy, spoiled, entitlement minded people who thought they were being Ripped off !
Ripped Off ?
How about EVERYONE knew it wasnt going to be FREE, or even Cheap, so why is it they couldnt save up the money for the concert like I did !
We had 4 months advance notice, and if you cannot save up $300 spending cash (*Thats $100 per day for you kiddies who are "victims" of our public education system and cannot do simply math)
I was there and only lived about 90 minutes from Rome in Albany, NY. I left Saturday night for a state championship baseball game on Sunday. I had a great time and would love to see this documentary. Is there anybody out there who knows where it can be viewed or purchased? I think I speak for many people who attended that this documentary should be available to be viewed..
Former Mayor Joe Griffo had no clue how bad Rome was gonna get spanked on woodstock. He thought he was gonna be the "rock n roll mayor" and he ended up being the head clown at the biggest circus in years. You don't drop something of that magnitude on a city 7 months prior to the concert and expect it to all work without any glitches.
The main reason all the shit went down is that the kids were sick of getting ripped off. $4 U.S for a bottle of water! $12 for a little mini pizza with powdered cheese. All the vendors ripping people off all week got burned! It was a corporate money grab with nothing to do with the music. Everyone was sick of it!
@gamezky What happened on Sunday had nothing to do with the Mayor or the local area. Although talented and fun to see, most were not peace and love type bands. In fact most were violent. It had a different vibe from a different crowd. The corporate ripping off of us was ridiculous. I spent way over 100 bucks just on food, drink, and water. Overall, the whole concert and most of the people were awesome for 3 and three quarter days. I hope instead of never being a Woodstock again, promoters learn.
Can't wait to see this. I was in Tampa for college when this happened. I watched it with my friends on MTV and then all the other stations when it all fell apart.
Maybe the single most memorable weekend of my life!

I had a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE !
Woodstock 99 was a VERY HIGH Spiritual Evolvement for me...!
MORE Than a concert, it Changed my life through the interactions of Hundreds of Thousands of people and it was Beautiful !
Except for the last few hours, when the few, ruined the experience for so many..

Is it possible to purchase a DVD of this?
