Woodstock 1999 was the second
rock concert[?] (after
Woodstock 1994) that attempted to emulate the success of the original
Woodstock concert of
1969. As a culture-shaping event it was a failure, and as a profitable venture it was also unsuccessful.
- High prices
- Lack of water (leading to price gouging)
- Lack of sanitation
- Poor security
By the time the final act of the concert, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, took the stage, the general state of the massive crowds had deteriorated to the point where violence began to break out.
