DMX - Woodstock Fest (Live 1999) Woodstock '99 (also called Woodstock 1999), held July 22–25, 1999,was the second large-scale music festival (after Woodstock '94) that attempted to emulate the original Woodstock festival of 1969. Like the previous Woodstock festivals, it was held in upstate New York, this time in Rome (roughly one hundred miles (160 km) from the site of the original event), and the attendance was approximately 400,000 over four days.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 1999 was portrayed by the media as being marred by environmental conditions, violence, sexual assault, allegations of rape, looting, and fires.Festival co-founder Michael Lang has referred to Woodstock 99 as MTVStock since the original founders had very little (if any) control.Many of the high profile acts such as Limp Bizkit, Korn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Creed were popular or rising artists of the era. While no groups that performed at the original Woodstock festival took the stage at Woodstock 1999, there were individuals who did. John Entwistle of The Who performed a solo set, and Mickey Hart, drummer of the Grateful Dead, played with his band Planet Drum. Jeff Beck was scheduled to perform, but had to cancel due to a "scheduling conflict." He was scheduled to perform at the original Woodstock festival, but his Jeff Beck Group broke up the week before.[36] Sugar Ray was also slated to appear at Woodstock 1999, but had to cancel due to lead singer Mark McGrath's illness.[37] Al Green was also slated to appear, but backed out following John F. Kennedy Jr.'s death in a plane crash.[38] Robby Krieger, the Doors' guitarist, was a surprise addition to Creed's set, after he was invited to perform "Roadhouse Blues" with Creed.
