1999 was clearly a bad year for music but there were sets at that concert that would be great to see. The west stage closers were George Clinton, The Chemical Brothers and Megadeath.
You could also see Al Green, Willie Nelson, Ice Cube, Elvis Costello, etc.
Lots was wrong with that festival and dunking on Korn is as far as I can tell a universal indulgence but there was good music to be seen.
- tptacek 4y agoSo, I hadn't looked, and now that I have, what we've established is that this is a writeup about how transformative Woodstock '99 was from someone who could have seen George Clinton, The Roots, Wyclef Jean, Metallica (albeit '99 Metallica), Rage, and Willie Nelson, and instead wrote about seeing Lit, Bush, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit, RHCP, and, again, I can't emphasize this enough, Sevendust. I can't stand Korn (I've had the misfortune of seeing them live opening for other acts), but I don't begrudge anyone for liking them at the time, though I do begrudge anybody who enjoys Korn and finds a way to dismiss The Roots and Wyclef Jean. Al Green, as it turns out, had to back out of the show. If you have an opportunity to see Al Green and you see Bush instead, you're not allowed to write about music anymore.
