what did sheryl crow think of woodstock 99

Sheryl Crow said Woodstock ’99 was “awful,” “disturbing,” and the worst experience she’d ever had on stage. She has said she cut her set short after audience chaos escalated and sewage or human waste was being thrown toward the stage.

What she recalled

Crow described the festival as feeling chaotic and debauched from the start, with people trying to get on camera and the crowd becoming increasingly unruly. She said some of the waste landed on her while she was playing bass, which is when her band stopped after only a few songs.

Her overall view

Her reaction was not just annoyance at a bad show; she treated it as a genuinely miserable and degrading experience. In later interviews, after watching part of the Woodstock ’99 documentary, she said she had to turn it off because it brought back how terrible it was.

In plain terms

If you want the shortest version: Sheryl Crow thought Woodstock ’99 was a disaster and one of the worst gigs of her career.
