Woodstock '99, what about Live's show? Options

[SecretInsomnia]

Hey I agree with Hoodstock that we have to bring up topics elsewhise this will be a boring place.
well I bring up this one: Woodstock '99.

I know Live played that festival, but because I only became fan in 1999, I don't know much about their live shows in that year. But they played there, right?
I actually don't know if the name does anything to do with the 'real Woodstock', the old festival with Jimmy Hendrix etc I have on dvd but oke, whatever, but I imagine it was a huge festival?

My question: how was Live on that one? a succesfull show? Succesfull? Is there any footage of them playing there?

Live played at the 1994 Woodstock as well as the 1999 version. Live's full concert performance at the 1999 Woodstock was broadcast on pay-per-view, so there are copies floating around.

I have been trying to track down a copy of either of the performances at Woodstock, but so far no luck. I'll keep looking and if I come up with anything, I'll let you know.

i used to have the '99 show on VHS, it was a good performance...they opened with where fishes go which is cool cuz TDTH was not out yet. sound was good too...i need to find that tape.

Currently I only have video of I Alone. The show was great from what I remember. I actually liked the keyboards then. It wasnt so much that I really liked the sound, but it was just something different. Plus the music they were putting out that year was really good. They still had upside potential then. They were returning from the darkness of Secret Somalia and Ed had also just shed the guitar and Adam joined. I think they had a really good/fresh vibe then.

Selling the Drama, from Woodstock 94, was broadcast live on MTV. At the time it was broadcasting parts of the event because they actually covered music.

I was home sick, heard it, and went out and bought Mental Jewelry on accident the next day trying to get the song. It is a great version of the and it is the first song on the '94 Woodstock double disk.

I'd have to agree with this statement. I was lucky enough to be at the show, and from the perspective of being in the crowd, and having the 225,000+ people around me watching and singing along with my favourite band, I can say it was one of the coolest experiences a Live fan could have ever wanted. WS'99 was plagued with problems, and the weekend itself was pretty whacked. Although the music lineup was superb, a lot of logisitcal problems led to a lot of angry people and well, I'm sure you've seen or heard about the rest.

It's an unfortunate legacy to a concert event that could have been historical for all the right reasons. I feel proud to say that my favourite band played at both the 1994 and 1999 iterations of the festival, and even prouder to say that I was there to see Live play during that moment in their career.

As tswart1 said, Live were entering a very special moment in their career that seemed to all the fans - and the band for that matter - to be a rebirth. Live were emerging from the dark of SS to a realm of postivity on TDTH. The songs had energy, hope and life to them. As TDTH wasn't out yet, and those of us who were waiting to see what Live would produce post-SS, it was very refreshing to stand in the hot sun, hear the fresh sound, experience the bands new energy and look forward to what was coming from the band.

To do all that in the company of so many other people, singing along as any good 90s generation should, to songs like I Alone, LC and Selling the Drama, was an experience I'll never forget.

The setlist, to the best of my memory:

01. Where Fishes Go
02. Operation Spirit
03. All Over You
04. Selling the Drama
05. Pain Lies on the River Side
06. Dolphins Cry
07. Turn my Head
08. Shit Towne
09. Lakini's Juice
10. I Alone
11. Lightning Crashes

the concert in mp3 is in LIVE BOOTLEGS, the Woodstock 94, indeed, there's only copies in the market of VHS and the double disc, if my memory is good, Selling the drama is the 2nd track, in the VHS (wich i have) is the 3rd song, The Woodstock 99 is I alone the commercial song, and is great the sound in the Original CD, and in the VHS and DVD the scenes of that song are different of the broadcast one, i have the 3 copies of it... the full concert in VHS (i don't know how to encoded in mi mac... , to share it, if anyone can/want help i can share it) the official VHS, CD, DVD...

and u never talk about the Unplugged, in Official marketing, the MTV Unplugged Finest Moments with Lightning Crashes on VHS, the Best Of MTV Unplugged 1 with Lightning Crashes on CD and the Best Of MTV Unplugged 3 with I Alone on CD/DVD format!!! or MTV Buzz Bin with PLOTRS!!!
