SkisNH Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I was at the 94 show...we had an amazing time despite the weather. I went with 3 others...the girl i was dating and we each brought a friend. I had a really nice north face tent that I planned on using with my girlfriend. She didn't want to stick her girlfriend in a tent with my buddy so they came up with the idea to bring a 6 person cabin tent...sounds great right... Well this tent had been set up outside for 2 summers for her little sister to use as a play house in the back yard. The nylon was destroyed by the sun and the moment the downpours started the thing leaked like hell. We literally had a river running through the tent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepybrew Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 94 was 15 minutes from me. i rode my bike down, left it with a friend that lives there. walked right in. got to see spin doctors, bob dylan, porno for pyros, and left after the chili peppers. muddy fucking mess. i skipped 99 . mike lang was local. we serviced his impala ss. quiet and soft spoken . i even broke in that car once when he locked the keys in it. that series on netflix was pretty good. really shows how bad the promotors fucked that up. lucky it wasn't worse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1jkw Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The Bethel Woods Center is a really nice venue for concerts, hope to buy season tickets for next year. I was 11 years old when the original Woodstock took place, some of my older brother's friends went and lots of people traveled through our town headed there, route 6 runs right through it about 50 miles from the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids so wasted they drive a box van into the Rave after likely raping the under age girl found naked in the back is pretty fucked up. Just one of the many stories like that though.

The horrors they saw that day! Drinking and sliding around in poop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 94 was funny. " no entry without ticket, no coolers, no this, no that " . they bonked folks for tickets, as most felt they wouldn't be able to get in. didn't take long , my buddy called me and said holy shit, the walls are down. come on down! i turned on the tv and it was a special report, showed the walls down and a guy dragging a huge cooler. i drove past every day back and forth to work, saw them painting all that peace and love shit on the walls. plywood walls not gonna hold back these savages. it was dark when the chili peppers ended and i got out . place was piss mud everywhere , but folks looked to be going wild. my dad was laughing, he lived near the thruway. people were leaving their cars and walking through the woods and on to the back road. they start walking, my dad asks where they are going , "woodstock man!" . my dad said " not that fucking way your not, it's that way" .
