Synopsis

Amazon.com

Should Epic Records be blamed or thanked for splitting this massive collection into separate segments for the tie-die set and the moshing crowd? Isn't Woodstock about merging musical styles into one love fest? Well, here we have the red disc, which offers a relentless attack from metal- and punk-influenced bands such as Offspring, Lit, and Limp Bizkit. The opening track is a huge, roaring version of Korn's "Blind," and the disc closes with warnings about the fire that ended the festival, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers burst into Jimi Hendrix's "Fire." Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade," Buckcherry's AC/DC-influenced "Lit Up," Megadeth's "A Secret Place," and Live's soaring "I Alone" are notable moments, while Sevendust and Godsmack merely sound like early '90s retreads. Metallica's "Creeping Death" shows why they succeed where others fail, and Bush's "Everything Zen" should feel out of place here, but doesn't. The blue disc serves up a kinder, gentler beat with Dave Matthews opening up with "Tripping Billies," followed by the somewhat tired sounds of the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Things get a little perkier with Jewel's surprisingly powerful "Down So Long." Everclear shakes up the audience with their muscular and catchy brand of alt rock. Elvis Costello makes "Alison" sound new and heartfelt, G. Love & Special Sauce remind us how refreshing it was when "Cold Beverage" was first served, and the Chemical Brothers bring their electronic sound to life on "Block Rockin' Beat." Roots' undulant "Adrenaline" has a bite, and Boston's Guster prove that the hype about this acoustic-based outfit's live shows is true. Perfunctory performances by Sheryl Crow, Rusted Root, and Bruce Hornsby fill in the gaps. --Lorry Fleming

CD Reviews

Are... you... READY?!?!?!?

"Ahh... woodstock! Three days of love... well, for the most part. I've heard some pretty bad things about what went on at this concert. In my personal opinion, rape is the lowest form of activity that anyone could participate in and anyone who rapes another person deserves to BURN IN HELL. Now, having said that, I will now review the music. They (who? you may ask... THEM, DAMMIT! LOL) decided to release this as a 2 disc set... I think that's a pretty groovy idea because the musical styles on the two cd's are very different. On to the review... now I can't review EVERY track on each CD but I'll hit on (in my opinion) the high notes.. DISC ONE: THE RED DISC: Alrighttt..... ROCK N ROLL, BAYBEEE!! *throws up some metal* Talk about "The Hard and The Heavy". I was completely blown away by this disc! I actually hadn't heard of half the artists on this cd until I bought it... but I took a chance and boy am I glad I did! The red disc delivers over an hour of in your face rock and roll. Sure, these weren't the ABSOLUTE BEST songs sung at woodstock? lol But anyway, it all pretty much rocks and even though I hadn't heard of a lot of the musicians when I first got this cd, I sat there and listened to and enjoyed the whole thing. If you're a fan of heavier rock music, then the red disc is for you! But.... there is another... skywalker.. oops.. no, wait... there is another... disc. LOL DISC TWO: THE BLUE DISC: Ahh the blue disc. What a break from all the hard stuff on the red disc! If you like the softer side of music, then this disc is the one for you! I actually bought the whole woodstock 99 album because a friend of mine brought the blue disc to school one day and I listened to it. I really liked it, even though I didn't know who a lot of the people on it were. It's just good music and I can respect that. There isn't a bad song on here. STANDOUT CUTS: THE RED DISC Korn-Blind, The Offspring-The Kids Aren't Alright, Kid Rock-Bawitdaba, RATM-Bulls On Parade (personal fave), Godsmack-stay away, Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Fire (Hendrix, baybeeee)STANDOUT CUTS: THE BLUE DISC: Dave Matthews Band-Tripping Billies, Everlast-Ends, Everclear-Santa Monica(Watch The World Die), The Roots-Adrenaline (My second fave from this disc), Elvis Costello-Alison (Personal fave)OVERALL THOUGHTS: Great collection. At best, it's great and at worst, it's good. The mastering is clear on all tracks except the Korn song. Any fan of music should own this cd and try to forget about the bad stuff that happened at the concert."

Not Good, Not Bad

"Well, I bought this CD on an impulse, after just scanning and seeing that it had good bands... and well, it only has a few rocking songs. It would have been much better if there was more than one song per artist... Another koRn, Alanis, or Live song could have EASILY replaced the one-hit wonders like Godsmack, Kid rock, and Jamiroquai... who the hell is Jamiroquai anyways? and what was the deal with that stupid 'interlude'? Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good songs like "I Alone" "everything Zen" and "Santa Monica", but somehow I feel cheated cuz I know that for a double-CD album of a GREAT concert I should listen to all 33 songs 24/7, not just 12 every now and then."

Could have been better

"I liked this cd alot but there was some setbacks like on some tracks you can barely hear the singer , a good example of this would be Korn's "Blind" I heard about two lines. The song itself is good though. Other than that this cd is awesome."

All the best songs were left off........ WHY ?

"First of all let me start of by saying Woodstcok was great. The media blew up what happened on Sunday night, when all it was, was us blowing off steam at the hole production of it. Now onto the CD, it is half way decent but there is no and I mean no emotion in it at all..So many songs were left off that DEFINATELY should have been on there. For example Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Chlid of Mine".....Mickey Harts -Fire on the Mountain, Collective Souls version of an OZZY song, Kid Rocks cover of a John Fougerty tune, and they could have picked a much better song from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, like half way through their set when they just JAMMED. Plus countless more. Whoever put this together should be fired. As a vetran of both Woodstock 94' & 99' I am very dissapointed in this CD, I hope whoever is listening will take my advice and put out the real WOODSTOCK 99' Album, it will do alot better than what you have here. Enough said ! -Mike-"

Red cd's good, Blue cd's.... ok

"This is the closest you can get to re-living Woodstock 99 without all the fires, riots, rapes, & overflowing toilets. The Red disc is pretty good- It has great live songs from KoRn, Kid Rock, Rage, Offspring, Lit, Megadeth, Metallica, Live, Chili Peppers, Creed, Bush, Sevendust, & Godsmack. The Limp Bizkit song on here is not that great- I'm not a big fan of them or anything, but still, Show Me What You Got? If you were gonna put one of their fewer good songs on there put Break Stuff on! I skip over Buckcherry & DMX cause I hate them- Buckcherry just plain old sucks, and my god, they had to waste that track with an awful rapper like DMX- If you're gonna put a rapper on, two words- ICE CUBE! The interlude is just some guy saying "Ok, that fire really is a problem, we need to let the firemen get through"- what a waste of space- We all watched the news, we all heard about the little fire incident, no need to waste a track for something like that.Now, as for the Blue Disc, there's a pretty interesting variety of music on here- Dave Matthews, Brian Setzer, Bruce Hornsby, Guster, Everlast, Everclear, Jamiroquai, G Love, Rusted Root, Alanis Morisette. If you have diverse taste you'll enjoy it. I said the Blue disc was "....ok" because I noticed that Wycleaf insn't on it! But nooo, they had to put Elvis Costello on! I also would've loved to see a Counting Crows song on there- They're a LOT better than Our Lady Peace! And what's up with EVERCLEAR on the blue disc?! They're pretty heavy- they should've been on the red cd instead of that stupid interlude! Woodstock 99 had its fair share of good bands & bad bands- Even almost 3 years after the event I still ask this one question: HOW THE HELL DID SUGAR RAY GET ON THAT STAGE? and who the hell got INSANE CLOWN POSSEE in?? So in conclusion, if you only like loud heavy stuff, get the Red cd. If you like soft stuff, get the Blue cd. If you have extremely diverse taste and like both loud & soft(like me), get the 2-disc set."
