After more than 20 years, Sheryl Crow is looking back on the infamous, disastrous music festival, Woodstock ’99.
While appearing on a recent episode of Dana Carvey and David Spade’s “Fly On The Wall” podcast, the singer reminisced on what it was like to perform at the unruly festival in New York, which, in recent years, has been the subject of two documentaries- HBO’s “Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, And Rage” and Netflix’s “Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99”- plus the podcast “Break Stuff: The Story of Woodstock ’99”.
“It was debauched from the beginning, because we were on the first day. You could look out and see girls who were topless on guys’ shoulders, trying to get the MTV camera to sweep around in front of them and get on TV,” Crow, 60, recalled.

Carson Daly recalls his harrowing experience at Woodstock '99 well. Due to the new Netflix documentary "Trainwreck: Woodstock '99," which details the festival, the infamous event has been on the former talk-show host's mind more than usual.
"I've been getting asked about #woodstock99 a ton recently," he wrote in an Aug. 12 Instagram post. "All I can say is I thought I was going to die. It started off great, Trl live from the side of main stage interviewing all the bands (like Jay from Jamiroquai) & started getting pelted with bottles, rocks, lighters, all of it. It got insane, fast. Nightfall, Limp [Bizkit] plays 'Break Stuff' & the prisoners were officially running the prison."
Eventually, he and his team decided to escape. "My boss @MTV Dave says to our staff/crew backstage, 'We can no longer guarantee your safety, it's time to go!' I remember being in a production van driving recklessly...

Carson Daly is remembering a terrifying time in music history. Following the release of the Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Woodstock '99, Carson recalled what it was like to host MTV's Total Request Live at the Woodstock '99 festival. "All I can say is I thought I was going to die," he wrote in an Aug. 11 Instagram post. Carson, 49, said it "started off great" as he interviewed artists like Jay Kay of the band Jamiroquai from the side of the main stage. But then they "started getting pelted with bottles, rocks, lighters, all of it," he recalled.

Woodstock ‘99 was one of the great symbolic events of the end of the 20th century, occurring about two years before the violent randomness of the 21st smashed into view. Intended to capture the idyllic spirit in which the original Woodstock festival, which happened in 1969, lives in memory, the 1999 edition was instead marred by violent riots. It was a crystal-clear announcement that whatever hippie spirit still existed in mainstream American life had been choked off at the source.
That’s an interesting story worth telling — indeed, HBO’s “Music Box” series of documentaries, produced by Bill Simmons, did an excellent job last year of placing the story within the cultural context of a dead-end nihilistic youth culture and a late-‘90s rock scene dominated by male rage. Netflix’s new documentary series “Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99” expends plenty of energy on depicting what happened; indeed, its three installments track the festival’s three nights.
