So the people behind Woodstock 69 naively decide to give it a go for 99.
A great music festival all about freedom and love and throwing off your inhibitions.
Unfortunately, no one mentioned to the main guy that things have changed since 69
Back in the sixties people were actually repressed - even straight white men were restricted in what they could say, do, or wear - for everyone else it was much worse.
Plus at any moment you could be packed off to Vietnam for a run through the jungle.
Now in 1999 for the most part everyone can pretty much do most things.
There is no segregation, there are women in the armed forces, gay people on TV and there is sex everywhere you look - a time traveller from the 60s would have kittens!
So, in 1999 - where is there to go when you invite free people to shrug off the few restrictions they do have?
Have a little sing-song and maybe unbutton your tunic?
Oh, yes and for fun lets make this event on a really hot day, remove access to water, security and sanitation - throw in piles of drugs, kegs of alcohol and high energy bands that sell themselves on pushing back against authority.
Well nothing bad surely can happen?
This is a well made documentary that follows the disaster of Woodstock 99.
It is detailed and interesting - it is good to get the honest opinions of people who attended.
