Podcast 99

On this edition of Survivor Stories we meet Gordo. Gordo was part of the live stream/PPV film crew. HIs job wasn’t to film the music at Woodstock 99 however, rather, he was charged with filming the craziest people and hi jinx they could find within the concert grounds. We encounter the red man once again and Gordo runs for his life during the chili peppers! 

WE FOUND HER FOLKS! As you seasoned listeners know, one of our all time favorite Woodstock 99 sets is Wyclef Jean’s. It was absolute chaos from start to finish, complete with flying bottles, a guitar fire that didn’t happen, clueless band members wondering what he was going to tell them to play next, it had it all. The best thing the set had though, was DIANA. Diana was an up and coming singer who was given a chance to sing on stage with Wyclef and company, what happened next is the stuff of legends. 

Our newest survivor is James Boyd. James had the luxury of going to Woodstock 99 in an RV and also brought a video camera! His footage is as amazing as his story. Hitchhiking, ecstasy, lots of beer, and escaping the fest in cinematic fashion. There is also a good chance he crossed paths with one of our all-star survivors!

Our latest survivor Babu had the unique experience of actually working at Woodstock 99. Employed by a veteran tie-dye shirt salesman, Babu got the all star treatment at Woodstock 99, showers, private bathroom, an RV, the works. However, all of the comforts of being a vendor at the festival quickly fell to the wayside when things take a turn for the worse on Sunday night.

We always love a female perspective here on Podcast 99 and boy did we get a great one with our latest survivor Lara. Not only did she have a great time, do a little looting and a lot of partying,  but she is also our first self-proclaimed juggalette! This is a great story with a happy ending, and a happy beginning, but be warned, there is a dark chapter courtesy of the rave hanger.

In this installment of survivor stories we talk with Meeps, a gentle giant whose introspective look back at Woodstock 99 is truly something special. Meeps came for the heavies and drank mystery juice from a stranger, got free food courtesy of the monks, and was stranded at something now known as “aftershock.” This story has it all! There is some lineup confusing but due to the passage of time; we allow for simple mistakes.

We are back with our first survivor story of 2024! Andrew had an overall pretty wholesome Woodstock 99 experience. He went with his father and his sister when he just a boy of 15 years old. Picture National Lampoon Vacation but with Limp Bizkit. 

It’s 2024 and we are still uncovering Woodstock 99 gems! Thanks to our repeat guest and Woodstock 99 Survivor, Andy, we have unearthed footage of Andy Dick’s performance. This episode we discuss the newly discovered footage of Andy Dick’s performance on the East Stage. From nudity, vulgarity, and lack of hilarity, it has it all! Check out our patreon for the video!

We have yet another survivor story for y’all! Adam ventured out of his small town for the first time with a rag tag group of buddies to go to Woodstock 99. His story includes sketchy motel drug deals, hitchhiking, seeing Korn way too close, and having an overall insane time.

This is a fully stacked survivor story complete with medic tent visits, clear memory of events, fear, and fire. Anthony’s story is a great example of why we continue to do this show. How did he manage to score multiple free gatorades at a festival known for it’s price gouging? Tune in to find out!
