the event itself was interesting, especially from a cultural perspective. the music was alright. i think a lot of people look back at that music and think it's somehow 'better' because they're associating it with the idealistic innocence that everyone was wrapping themselves in at the time. they're applying their memories of the time when they first heard that music as a reflection of the music as opposed to just being a reminder of being young. whatever.
hendrix owned that show.

Hell no, you're just being unfair.
The overall lineup was awesome, not just the big names, the little ones too, like Ten Years After, Johnny Winter and the opening act Richie Havens. It really was a great time for music.
If anyone is letting nostalgia cloud their judgement it's you, Woodstock 99 was clearly a piece of sh*t.
