Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what city was Woodstock '99 located?

Answer: Rome, NY

Rome, NY became the third largest city in the state that weekend.
2. What days was the festival held on?

Answer: July 23-25, 1999

The dead of Summer...what a great time to put 50,000 people on a slab of concrete for three days!
3. During what Limp Bizkit song did fans begin to tear apart the sound tower?

Answer: Break Stuff

Apparently, the adrenaline-laced crowd took this song literally. Trust me, I saw it all.
4. How much did it cost for a bottle of water at the festival?

Answer: 4 dollars

Yep, four bucks! I spent about $40 on water alone that weekend!
5. How much would it cost if you wanted two bottles of water and one medium PLAIN pizza (6 Slices)?

Answer: 20 bucks

20 bucks for enough food to make it about 2 or 3 hours. 20 bucks every 3 hours for 48 hours is a lot of money. No wonder they destroyed the ATM machines!
6. Who was the promoter of all 3 Woodstock festivals?

Answer: Michael Lang

Michale Lang witnessed a disaster in '69 when he lost all his money and almost saw 50,000 people get electrocuted when it started to rain. I think he got the hint this time...no more!
7. How many stages were bands playing music at?

Answer: Three

There was the East Stage, The West Stage, and the Emerging Artists Stage.
8. The authorities were really cracking down and wouldn't let any drugs into the festival.

Answer: False

ARE YOU KIDDING? They checked for metal objects at the door. Drugs, alcohol, paraphernalia...go right in, have a good time! They even sold pipes inside the park.
9. Who was the last band scheduled to play at the festival on Sunday night?

Answer: Red Hot Chili Peppers

RHCP ended with Jimmy Hendrix's 'Fire'. What an appropriate way for THE MEDIA to link the madness to the music!
10. What event did the park sponsor in one of the airplane hangars after the music ended each night?

Answer: All night raves

The all night raves were a great chance to relax and have fun after the tiresome hours of pushing through crowds and getting sunburnt all day.
11. What did Rage Against the Machine set on fire while on stage?

Answer: The American Flag

Well, I guess the music had a little bit to do with the overall attitude of the crowd. I like Rage, but so much for 'Peace and Love'.
12. What former Grateful Dead member played Woodstock '99?

Answer: Mickey Hart

13. What was different about Woodstock '99 as opposed to the original Woodstock festival in 1969 and the 25th anniversary festival in 1994?

Answer: No rain

In addition to the riots, fires, capitalism, and the bands, the fact that it never rained made Woodstock '99 quite different from its predecessors.
14. The police never charged anyone for the fires, rapes, and mass destruction.

Answer: False

Even to this day, police and FBI are still finding more and more out about what really happened and who was responsible. A large number of arrests have been made since July 25, 1999, the final day of the festival.
15. Who was ultimately responsible for the chaos at Woodstock '99?

Answer: Everyone

Not one person or group was responsible. Everything that happened that weekend was like adding gasoline to the fire. The heat, the prices, the lack of livable conditions... It was bound to happen!
