Woodstock '94

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Woodstock '94 was a music festival organized in order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock Festival of 1969. It was promoted as "2 More Days of Peace and Music." The famous poster used to promote the first concert was revised to feature two birds perched on a guitar (instead of one).

The concert was scheduled for August 13, 1994 and August 14, but a third day (August 12) was added.

The concert was also dubbed "mudstock" due to a downpour on August 13; band Green Day saw its set turn into an enormous mud fight between the band and fans, and even got Wavy Gravy to participate in the fight. Eventually, the band's bassist, Mike Dirnt, was mistaken for a stage-crashing fan by a bouncer, and in the ensuing fight he was tackled on stage and ended up losing several of his front teeth. The mud fight was reportedly such that the band had to be carried out by a helicopter. When Primus took the stage, to play their song "My Name is Mud" bassist/singer Les Claypool commented that though the song's name is "My Name is Mud" he himself prefers not to be covered in mud. When fans did not comply he announced that throwing things on stage was a sign of "small and insignificant genitalia." When Nine Inch Nails took the stage they were already covered completely in mud, as to avoid any further mud fights.

The event took place on a large field in Saugerties, New York, about 100 miles north of New York City. The site is only 10 miles from Woodstock, New York and it was originally proposed as an ideal location for the 1969 concert. But permission to use the property was not granted the first time around, so the first concert was instead held in Sullivan County, much further from the namesake town of Woodstock.

The festival was followed by Woodstock 1999.

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

• The only performers from the original Woodstock were The Band, Santana, Joe Cocker, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian and Crosby, Stills, & Nash. Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, another Woodstock alumnus, also appeared with The Band on guitar and vocals.

• Nine Inch Nails were considered to have the largest crowd density at the event, overshadowing many of the more mainstream bands of the time.

• Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss were offered 1 million dollars to reunite with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley to headline the show, but they declined.

• The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed in lightbulb costumes for the first few songs of their set. Later in the set they would all dress up as Jimi Hendrix had at the original Woodstock. The lightbulb costumes are now on display at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

• Surviving Nirvana members were offered a large sum of money to get back together, with a new singer to replace Kurt Cobain, but turned it down.

• Several of the artists, including Green Day and Cypress Hill, skipped at least one Lollapalooza tour date in order to appear at Woodstock '94.

• Peter Gabriel headlined and closed Woodstock '94.

• Pepsi was the presenting sponsor, distributing millions of free Woodstock '94 guides nationwide.

• In the interview after their performance, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor claimed he thought it was a horrible performance.^[1]

• Reznor admitted that while he disliked playing at such a large show, it was done for the money: "To be quite frank, it's basically to offset the cost of the tour we're doing right now."^[2]

• Aphex Twin's performance was cut short when promoters 'disconnected' him midshow for forging his signature on a contract, which would forfeit the rights to his performance. ^[3]

• Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer were actually concert attendees at the original Woodstock festival in 1969.

• After being injured in a traffic accident in 1966, and his subsequent disappearance from the popular music scene, Bob Dylan declined to go to the original Woodstock Festival of 1969, even though he lived in the area at the time. Dylan, however, did accept an invitation to perform at Woodstock '94, and was introduced with the phrase: “We waited twenty-five years to hear this. Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Bob Dylan”. According to various critics, Dylan's performance was one of the greater moments of the festival, and represented the beginning of another one of the new phases in his lengthy career. His twelve-song set was made up of: Jokerman; Just Like a Woman; All Along the Watchtower; It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry; Don't Think Twice, It's Alright; Masters of War; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue; God Knows; I Shall Be Released; Highway 61 Revisited; Rainy Day Women #12 & 35; and It Ain't Me, Babe.
