I've heard before that W'99 was a failure and that Limp Bizkit was framed for that. My worst dreams I couldn't have predicted how bad it really was and how incompetent and greedy organizers can be.
The 3 episodes are a collection of failure after failure from start to finish, and what the consequences you may expect of every stupid decision. I don't understand how Michael Lang and especially John Scher avoided imprisonment for what they did. Their combined mindset of stupidity and greed concluded as a hell on earth event and throught the entire document they haven't acknowledge pity once.
There are some fantastic interviews although I feel there's a lot missing. Out of the provided I would say the highlights are Scott for filmig the last night events, Cody for the peace patrol perspective, Sara for honesty from start to finish and Lee Rosenblatt as the biggest voice of reason for the management.
Polish Woodstock rip off (Przystanek Woodstock currently called Pol'and'Rock, as they no longer have rights to refer to the original name) which takes place since 1995, and for years now gathers 400k+ attendants, has it's own imperfections and accidents. No brainer for that scale of the event. My point is that it is possible to make it work and provide a safe environment for everybody including children. Instead Woodstock 99 is now a guide HOW NOT TO make a festival.
Going back to Limp Bizkit. After watching one and a half episodes you can already see how bad things were. So David Blaustein mentioning that Fred Durst's ego fumed the crowd was the biggest lie of the entire document and made me question everything else he said. What was the standard Limp Bizkit performance for years, somehow got framed as provocative at the event. This document is clearly missing some words from Fred Durst himself. Every other artist interviewed, mention that they were not told what is going on.
Putting any blame on the attendants, weather, lineup is just disgusting. I have a lot of questions regarding other things, such us how it is possible that people were refused to bring in their water, while so many drugs made it to the festival. How the water supply got mixed up with feces. How big of an idiot you have to be, to even think that giving candles and fire to drunk and drugged people, sounds like a good idea. And why Sara was not allowed to answer whether she would attend the event once again.
Huge props for a lot of camera footage, but same as the interviews, I believe there is a lot content they were not allowed to show us.
