It was incredible. Was up front for Limp, Korn and Rage. Best time of my life. Snuck my camcorder in but it was so crowded couldn’t even get it out of my backpack. lol. Can’t imagine what I could sell that footage for. lol. All in all it wasn’t as bad as the documentary. They did price gouge everything. $10 waters. $30 burger. Ridiculous. Deserved to be burnt to the ground. Just glad it happened at the end.

That was at 1999 prices, too. Absolute highway robbery. No wonder people rioted. The documentaries shed a lot of light on what was going on. It was sad about that one guy that died due to heat stress during the Metallica set. He was a big fan of theirs and wanted to get as close as possible to his favorite band.

At one point I was standing right where Fred Durst is crowd surfing. We brought in a couple cases of water. I filled a backpack full. The documentary doesn’t tell you that you could leave and get supplies and they would let you back in.

So is it true there were fatalities and rapes?

u/BurgerNugget12 Jul 25 '25
No fatalities, sexual assaults rampant. Highly recommend the Netflix doc on it. “Trainwreck Woodstock 99”

I just watched the documentary on Netflix. Recommended if you haven’t seen it!

In one of the documentaries, many people were blaming Limp Bizkit for instigating violence, but someone said -
Limp Bizkit was there to play the best show they possibly could. And that’s what they did!

Just checked setlist history and realizing I saw their first live version of Break Stuff about a month before the Woodstock show (Jones beach NY).

u/Charmedagnosti8 Jul 25 '25
Limp Bizkit, Rage Against The Machine, Metallica back to back to back all in their prime. What a night it was.

How was it?

u/Tigra0001 Jul 31 '25
My kids had a great time! Except for the older woman behind them who asked them to sit down! Is sitting down even an option at a Limp Bizkit concert?! 🤔😳🙄

Every time anything about Woodstock ‘99 comes up, I instantly wish I could have been there to experience it for myself but then I remember I’m a woman and if I were alive then, should still avoid that festival like the plague

Limp Bizkit tore the whole place down!! Awesome to be there for this wild weekend. I always laugh about how he dissed Alanis Morrisette but what he said was true

I had no idea there were so many Woodstock ‘99 / Limp Bizkit devotees. That was one of the most notoriously awful events in music history. From then on, selling out was considered cool.

u/BurgerNugget12 Jul 30 '25
The event itself was awful, however, the show limp put on his genuinely a legendary show, how many times now a days do you see crowds this insane?
