Podcast 99
WE MADE IT! Episode 100! 100 episodes of premier Woodstock 99 content. We watched every set, we spoke to over 60 attendees, we watched countless hours of home videos and documentaries, and we made 100 episodes about one singular topic. Thank you to all of the fans and listeners (there is a difference we have learned). Ryan sits down with the OG Podcast 99 crew, Josh Evans, Parks Miller, and Greh Holger to discuss the humble beginnings and highlights of the world’s best Woodstock 99 audio only podcast.
EPISODE 99! We made it! We celebrate our 99th episode with the conclusion of one of the greatest survivor stories we have ever heard. Paul, our East Stage security lead, continues his tale with the legend of Chicago Bill, Rage vs. hardened stage hands, Jewel crushing his dreams, and a mellow walk about the chaos. Thank you all for listening to this stupid project four friends started 8 years ago. It has been a wild ride and we are so glad you decided to come along! See you at Woodstock!
For the first time in Podcast 99 history, we have an esteemed member of the Woodstock 99 security force on the show. Paul was not really a member of the Peace Patrol as he was in the upper tier of security and was brought in to monitor the East Stage, for the entire festival. This story is full of celeb interactions, weed, meatball subs, handjobs, and colorful 1990’s vernacular, and this is only PART ONE!
Welcome to 2026! We still haven’t left 1999 here at Podcast 99 as we continue our endless coverage of the notorious Woodstock 99 festival. Matthew remembers everything, against all odds. A true rock and roll veteran who survived both Woodstock 94 and 99. This is a killer way to start the year and one of the absolute beefiest survivor stories we have ever heard.
Welcome to 2026 and another year of Survivor Stories! Woodstock 99 lore continues to grow here at Podcast 99 and this year we start with Daroyl (misspelt by his mother). This guy is a well of information and has a great perspective on the festival. He also experienced a more than rare occurrence of some female attendees turning the tables on their male counterparts.
Our latest survivor hails all the way from New Zealand and was lucky(?) enough to attend Woodstock 99. Not only does Rees remember a ton about his time at the festival, but he also got up every morning and ran up to 10 miles during it. This is a great survivor story to cap off the year, thank you all for listening, happy holidays and we will see you at Woodstock!
We got another Jeff! Jeff had never been to a festival before Woodstock 99, heck, he had only really been to less than ten concerts! Jeff and a buddy braved the road in a dying car to really just see Metallica, almost dying during Limp Bizkit was an added bonus.
Oxy’s story truly puts the “survivor” in “survivor stories.” At just 18 years old, Oxy flew to America from Hungary in order to attend Woodstock 99, alone, with $80, no tent, no nothin. Despite the odds being incalculably stacked against him, he flourished and had a great time seeing his all time favorite band, The Offspring.
This is a Mt. Rushmore episode folks. Jason was an admitted scumbag, one who left in a fury for Woodstock 99 after an argument with his girlfriend, who lied about where he was going in order to acquire the money, who had an affair while at Woodstock 99, and then had a life altering experience during Jewel that can only be described as, “transcendent.” This episode also listens less like a traditional episode and more what it sounds like when Ryan meets a Woodstock 99 attendee at the bar.
You asked for it, you got it. This is the first episode of our new Podcast 99 side series “94 Diaries” where we speak with folks who were at Woodstock 94. Woodstock 94 is the forgotten Woodstock, but why? On this episode we speak with Matt who remembers everything from his time at Woodstock 94 and really shines a light on the little Woodstock that could, where mud was mud and water was free.
Holy cow folks, we got another one. This is top-tier survivor stories material here. Jay spent more time in the rave than perhaps anyone else we have interviewed besides Brooke. From mysterious pills, trauma inducing sights, poop, and staph infections, this story has it all. Buckle up and be sure to stay hydrated.
Jeremy attended Woodstock 99 with fellow survivor Joe and had a wildly different time than his soft spoken buddy. Jeremy, a self-described “fat guy and boob guy,” has a great story to tell complete with a trip to the swimmin’ hole and several hits of LSD during Limp Bizkit.
Chris is an accomplished comedy writer and overall rad dude, a rad dude that went to Woodstock 99. Chris’ time at Woodstock 99 was the inspiration for an episode of “Lucas Bros Moving Co” titled “Nutopia.” This is an incredibly cinematic retelling of one hell of a weekend.
Joe played it safe at Woodstock 99, saving his energy for his favorite bands. He even slept through the riots and woke up to what looked like a warzone. He also attended Woodstock 94 and had a very idyllic time complete with great music and a scary hitchhiker scenario.
Phil was an avid music fan whose group of friends joined him at Woodstock 99 for what can only be described as a “nice time.” They created a fool-proof meeting system, they had zero trouble with security, they saw tons of music, and they got home safe. Despite all of that, this is an incredible survivor story that reminds us that there were good times had, and that is just fine.
On this edition of Survivor Stories we meet Gordo. Gordo was part of the live stream/PPV film crew. HIs job wasn’t to film the music at Woodstock 99 however, rather, he was charged with filming the craziest people and hi jinx they could find within the concert grounds. We encounter the red man once again and Gordo runs for his life during the chili peppers!
WE FOUND HER FOLKS! As you seasoned listeners know, one of our all time favorite Woodstock 99 sets is Wyclef Jean’s. It was absolute chaos from start to finish, complete with flying bottles, a guitar fire that didn’t happen, clueless band members wondering what he was going to tell them to play next, it had it all. The best thing the set had though, was DIANA. Diana was an up and coming singer who was given a chance to sing on stage with Wyclef and company, what happened next is the stuff of legends.
Our newest survivor is James Boyd. James had the luxury of going to Woodstock 99 in an RV and also brought a video camera! His footage is as amazing as his story. Hitchhiking, ecstasy, lots of beer, and escaping the fest in cinematic fashion. There is also a good chance he crossed paths with one of our all-star survivors!
Our latest survivor Babu had the unique experience of actually working at Woodstock 99. Employed by a veteran tie-dye shirt salesman, Babu got the all star treatment at Woodstock 99, showers, private bathroom, an RV, the works. However, all of the comforts of being a vendor at the festival quickly fell to the wayside when things take a turn for the worse on Sunday night.
We always love a female perspective here on Podcast 99 and boy did we get a great one with our latest survivor Lara. Not only did she have a great time, do a little looting and a lot of partying, but she is also our first self-proclaimed juggalette! This is a great story with a happy ending, and a happy beginning, but be warned, there is a dark chapter courtesy of the rave hanger.
In this installment of survivor stories we talk with Meeps, a gentle giant whose introspective look back at Woodstock 99 is truly something special. Meeps came for the heavies and drank mystery juice from a stranger, got free food courtesy of the monks, and was stranded at something now known as “aftershock.” This story has it all! There is some lineup confusing but due to the passage of time; we allow for simple mistakes.
We are back with our first survivor story of 2024! Andrew had an overall pretty wholesome Woodstock 99 experience. He went with his father and his sister when he just a boy of 15 years old. Picture National Lampoon Vacation but with Limp Bizkit.
It’s 2024 and we are still uncovering Woodstock 99 gems! Thanks to our repeat guest and Woodstock 99 Survivor, Andy, we have unearthed footage of Andy Dick’s performance. This episode we discuss the newly discovered footage of Andy Dick’s performance on the East Stage. From nudity, vulgarity, and lack of hilarity, it has it all! Check out our patreon for the video!
We have yet another survivor story for y’all! Adam ventured out of his small town for the first time with a rag tag group of buddies to go to Woodstock 99. His story includes sketchy motel drug deals, hitchhiking, seeing Korn way too close, and having an overall insane time.
This is a fully stacked survivor story complete with medic tent visits, clear memory of events, fear, and fire. Anthony’s story is a great example of why we continue to do this show. How did he manage to score multiple free gatorades at a festival known for it’s price gouging? Tune in to find out!
We are back with another survivor story! Ryan went to one night of Woodstock 99 on a whim after scoring a free pass. His story includes giving Jamiroquai a ride to dinner, his car breaking down on the way, being offered a strange substance that begins with the letter “K,” and much more!
Our latest survivor is Myles. Myles went to Woodstock 99 as a final hoorah before he and his friends went off to live life after graduation, their last summer. What transpired was a substance fueled trip that only had one purpose; party hard at Woodstock 99
This week we have a very rowdy and spectacular surivor story for you. We welcome back Dave aka the dude that got arrested and welcome his brother Tom. Tom went to Woodstock 94 and could not wait for 99. HIs story serves to fill in some of the blanks Dave ran into when telling his side of the story. Tom had a killer time and he wants everyone to know it!
Rick E Lewis lived in Rome during Woodstock 99. He worked at a local news station and was able to get a press pass to the festival and borrow film equipment from the station. Rick took many photos and videos. He even made his own documentary – Before During and After Woodstock 99. Parks sat down with Rick to hear his story.
Rick’s documentary is below:
https://vimeo.com/showcase/7029543/video/439630284
Well folks, according to Ryan, this very well could be the mother of all Survivor Stories. Dave appeared in the often referenced by us Vh1 series “100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock and Roll” where he gives a brief jail house interview. Why was he in jail? Well, it’s because he got arrested at Woodstock 99. Other highlights include naked roller blading, toxic waste baths, and being front row for Korn.
Our survivor this week is Brad. Brad worked at Woodstock 99 as a runner for Pilar Law, Michael Lang’s assistant and was charged with such duties as picking up Jimi Hendrix’s sister from the airport, delivering celebrity announcer credentials, and vendor checks. Brad had the most interaction with Michael Lang of any of our survivors … Continue reading "Episode 70: Survivor Stories: Brad"
Brett wanted to be episode 69 in honor of Woodstock. We were happy to oblige. Brett was a bit of a cautionary tale. The phrase it’s a “marathon not a sprint” comes to mind. Fresh off a puppy love heart break, Brett was ready to dive head first into some new experiences. He also describes … Continue reading "Episode 69: Survivor Stories: Brett Katz"
David Blaustein was such a joy to talk with, we had to break it into 2 parts. This episode focuses more on his work on the Netflix documentary Trainwreck. We also dive into his analysis and perspective on Woodstock 99 and its aftermath.
David Blaustein is a former entertainment correspondent and movie critic for ABC News Radio. He is featured in the Netflix documentary Trainwreck. David gave such a comprehensive interview, full of insights and a clear memory of the festival. There was so much to talk about, this will be a two part survivor story.
Nick is a Canadian Woodstock 99 attendee who seemed to have the best luck out of most of our survivors. Despite crowd surfing huge distances he always managed to meet up with his crew and managed to make it home in one dirt covered piece. He describes what it was like seeing hordes of Canadians … Continue reading "Episode 66: Survivor Stories: Nick"
This week’s survivor is Christian. Christian spotted himself in the Netflix doc and the memories started flooding in.

This is a classic Woodstock 99 … Continue reading "Episode 65: Survivor Stories: Christian"

Morely came down from Canada with his buds to enjoy the music at Woodstock 99. While they did enjoy seeing their fellow countrymen (and women) like The Tragically Hip and Alanis Morissette, they got more than they bargained for at the rave and the riots. Oh Canada, this is a good one!

Podcast 99 returns for a special edition of Survivor Stories. From the start of Podcast 99 we have always made comparisons between Woodstock 99 and Fyre Festival. Our guest Kathleen worked at Fyre Fest and joins us to dish more dirt on this infamous blunder.
The world’s biggest metal band (and headliners of both Woodstock 94 and 99) is hardly a Culture Dump, but their 2002 documentary “Some Kind of Monster” and the album that followed “St. Anger” are definitely Culture Dumps. A high paid therapist, aging rock stars, a massive societal shift in how music is consumed, what could … Continue reading "Culture Dumps Episode 14: Some Kind of Monster"
This week Ryan is joined by Eric D, the mind behind Meth Syndicate. They discuss one of the staples of 1990’s television advertising: “Pure Moods.” What began as a compilation of the most cutting edge music the easy listening genre had to offer ended as a minor footnote in popular culture.

We finish up our mini series on tragic pop stars Milli Vanilli. Their lip sync game catches up to them in the worst way. But was the blame fairly placed? It usually is not. Stay tuned for a very bizarre and touching KFC commericial.
We dive into what was perhaps the biggest scandal in pop music history. Milli Vanilli was the sacrificial lamb of lip synching, a practice commonly used in today’s pop music. Perhaps they took it a step too far? Or were they puppets in a nefarious shadow organization of music industry moguls? Milli Vanilli were the … Continue reading "Culture Dumps Episode 3: Milli Vanilli part 1"
