BONUS EPISODE: "Woodstock '99: Peace, Love and Rage"
Added 2024-07-31 18:13:51 +0000 UTCWe actually watched both major documentaries! We have differing thoughts on them. Also, shoutout to our audio producer Paw who tells us that he did not know there was a Woodstock after Woodstock '94

On that coda: Would have liked to have seen them ask, "Would you want your kids to go to this?" in addition to asking if they would do it again. I expect there would be very different answers.

2024-08-07 15:27:54 +0000 UTCI felt I needed to watch both the HBO and Netflix docs before listening and I'm glad I did. Overall I think the Netflix one does a better job. Much more detailed, a lot more interviews with the staff, no critics analyzing it in hindsight (yes Wesley Morris usually talks cluelessly), interesting coda with the folks who went there saying they actually had fun. And also the most revelatory moment: Maybe the musician interaction to blame is actually Wyclef Jean telling the audience to throw their water bottles at him while playing the Hendrix version of "The Star Spangled Banner" (and then I think lighting his guitar and a Fugees LP on fire)
