Hey babes, Bandsplain is still on summer break. But in the meantime, we've got a special treat for you, courtesy The Ringer and friend of the pod Steven Hyden.
In 1999, a music festival took place in upstate New York that became a social experiment. There were riots, looting, and numerous assaults. And it was set to a soundtrack of the eraβs most aggressive rock bands. Incredibly, it was the third iteration of Woodstock, a festival known for peace, love, and hippie idealism. But Woodstock β99 revealed some hard truths behind the myths of the 1960s, and the danger that nostalgia can engender.
Steven digs deep into the history and legacy of Woodstock '99 in 'Break Stuff,' an eight-part documentary series. This is a clip from Episode 1, which is out now. To hear more, subscribe to the show on Spotify:
