The Successful Mind Podcast The Successful Mind Podcast – Episode 545 – Full Throttle Thursday – Woodstock 99: The Mess That No One Planned For
In 1999, the world as we knew it was about to change. With Y2K around the corner, everyone was in a frenzy and needed to blow off steam. Woodstock 99 was the perfect vehicle to do that.
Produced by Michael Lang, Woodstock 99 was to be the biggest concert of the millennium. Taking place at a giant, decommissioned Air Force base in New York, in 100-degree heat, 200,000 people were jammed in together like sardines for three days. Bands like Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Korn, and Limp Bizkit stirred up the crowd. Everyone was drunk, naked, and/or on every kind of drug imaginable.
Netflix’s 3-part documentary, “Train Wreck: Woodstock 99,” shows how the concert deteriorated fast. Everything that could go wrong, DID go wrong. The promoters manipulated 200,000 people—including confiscating all their water on the way in. With no water, no working toilets, trash everywhere, overpriced food, and no sleep—people began to lose their minds. The crowd’s mindset began to dissolve into anarchy—with fires, riots, and chaos.
What was the mindset at play that caused Woodstock 99 to morph into an insane mess? It’s a fascinating look into human psychology.
In this episode, BT and I discuss:
-
- How the promoters obviously didn’t plan properly for Woodstock 99
-
- How the evils of capitalism played a definite role in Woodstock 99—with pricing gauging, denying people food and water, and the Pay-Per-View event, which showed people taking their tops off
-
- How toilets overflowed and poured out into the grass, and people broke the waterline because they couldn’t get water fast enough—and everyone had trench mouth
-
- How no one took responsibility for anything that went wrong—they all had the same story—“It’s not my fault” (even Michael Lang, the person who put on the event)
-
- The major differences between Woodstock 69 and Woodstock 99, especially the aggressiveness of the music
-
- How music raises emotions and controls much of how we’re feeling
-
- Why most people think Woodstock 69 was all about peace, yet it in reality—both concerts had riots, people died, and the US military had to step in and airlift supplies
When you’re a teenager, all that stuff looks exciting and full of energy.
When you’re older, you’re like, “Screw that.” You understand the consequences of things much differently. When people are that young, they really don’t.
