WOODSTOCK 1999 WOODSTOCK 1999 Woodstock 1999, held July 23-25, 1999 was the second large-scale music festival (after Woodstock '94) that attempted to emulate the success of the original Woodstock Festival of 1969. Like the previous concerts with the same name, it was held in upstate New York, this time in Rome, New York. Approximately 200,000 people attended the festival. Cable network MTV covered the concert extensively and live coverage of the entire weekend was available on pay-per-view. Excerpts from the performances were later released on compact disc and DVD. Woodstock '99 is best remembered for reports of violence, rape, fires, and an abrupt closing down of the show.

The concert was held at the former Griffiss Air Force Base, a Superfund site. Prior to the concert, the promoters of the event were determined to avoid the gate-crashing that had occurred at previous festivals, and had characterized the site as 'defensible', describing the 12-foot plywood and steel fence intended to keep out those without tickets. About 500 New York State Police Troopers were hired for security.
In addition to two main stages, secondary venues were available including several alternate stages, a night-time rave music tent and a film festival (sponsored by the Independent Film Channel) held in a former airplane hangar. In contrast to the more grass-roots nature of the original Woodstock festival, Woodstock 1999 was conceived and executed as a commercial venture with dozens of corporate sponsors, and included the presence of vendor 'malls' and modern acoutrements such as ATMs and e-mail stations. Critics later decried the use of the Woodstock brand name for such an event as 'crass commercialization' and decried 'concert organizers who gouged the kids with grossly overpriced water, beer, and food'. Tickets for the event were priced at $150 plus service charges, at the time considered high for a festival of this type.
Tom Morello, the politically-active guitarist for festival performers Rage Against the Machine later 'suggested an affinity between the looters and rapists at the event and the corporate entities that sponsored it.' The festival featured a diverse lineup of acts and early reviews for many of the acts were positive; critics particularly praised performances by George Clinton, Jamiroquai, James Brown, Sheryl Crow, and Rage Against the Machine. However, critical and public attention quickly turned to the deteriorating environment and crowd behavior. Problems of Woodstock 1999 Oppressive heat and difficult environmental conditions marred the festival from early on. Participants who had not brought sufficient food or water to the show were left to buy from onsite vendors, whose merchandise was expensive (a single-serving pizza sold for $12, and 20-ounce bottles of water and soda for $4). Poor sanitation and security, the lack of available water, and 100-degree heat with no available shade quickly led to a dangerous environment.
