Woodstock '94 fue un festival de música estadounidense celebrado en 1994 para conmemorar el 25 aniversario del festival Woodstock original de 1969. [1] [2] Fue promocionado como "2 días más de paz y música". El cartel utilizado para promocionar el primer concierto fue revisado para presentar dos palomas posadas en el mástil de una guitarra eléctrica, en lugar de la acústica original.

El concierto de 1994 estaba programado para el fin de semana del 13 al 14 de agosto, [3] con un tercer día (viernes 12 de agosto) agregado más tarde. Las entradas para el festival cuestan $ 135 cada una. [4] El clima era cálido y seco el viernes, pero a primera hora de la tarde del sábado empezaron las tormentas. Las lluvias convirtieron gran parte del campo en barro. [1] [2]
El evento tuvo lugar en Winston Farm, al oeste de Saugerties, Nueva York , a unas 100 millas (160 km) al norte de la ciudad de Nueva York y a 70 millas (110 km) al noreste del sitio original del festival de 1969 cerca de Bethel , que tenía 12,000 disponibles. para celebrar el aniversario de plata. [5]
Aunque sólo se vendieron 164.000 entradas, [6] la multitud en Woodstock '94 se estimó en 550.000. [7] El tamaño de la multitud era mayor de lo que los organizadores del concierto habían planeado y para la segunda noche muchas de las políticas del evento eran logísticamente inaplicables. Los principales temas relacionados con la seguridad, cuando los asistentes llegaban, salían o regresaban al sitio, y la política oficial de vendedores de comida-bebida-concierto del concierto inicialmente restringía la entrada de los asistentes con provisiones de comida, bebidas y sobre todo, alcohol. Con el lugar del concierto en su mayor parte rodeado por simples vallas de eslabones de cadena, casi no hubo dificultad para que muchos asistentes ingresaran libremente con cerveza y otros artículos prohibidos. El personal de seguridad, junto con el personal de entrada y salida, no pudo continuar monitoreando razonablemente el número cada vez mayor de personas que entraban y salían, mientras que al mismo tiempo mantenían la seguridad y la atmósfera pacífica.
El festival fue seguido por Woodstock '99 , también en Nueva York en Roma .

Notable events: Day 1
- Jackyl took the stage early on Friday. Lead singer, Jesse James Dupree, took the stage with a bottle of whiskey and poured alcohol onto the crowd. He then started smoking marijuana and on a close up he shotgunned the joint into the camera with copious amounts of smoke filling the screens and the stage, at which point which the crowd cheered. The lead singer then lit a stool on fire onstage and cut it up with a chainsaw. He also pulled out a rifle and started firing into the air but cut his hand, which started bleeding, and as he wiped his forehead a streak of blood was left across his head. At this point security dragged him off the stage.
- Aphex Twin's performance was cut short when promoters "disconnected" him mid-show for signing a fake name on a contract, which would forfeit PolyGram's rights to his performance.[11]

Notable events: Day 2
[13]
- Nine Inch Nails had the largest crowd density at the event, overshadowing many of the other performers. Just before going on stage they wrestled each other in the mud and went on to perform completely wet and covered in mud. In the interview after their performance, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor claimed he thought his band's performance was "terrible" due to technical difficulties on stage.[14] Reznor admitted that while he disliked playing at such a large show, it was done for the money: "To be quite frank, it's basically to offset the cost of the tour we're doing right now."[15] Their performance of "Happiness in Slavery" at the festival won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1996.[16]
- Aerosmith's Joey Kramer, Joe Perry and Steven Tyler were all at the original Woodstock festival in 1969.[citation needed]. Aerosmith performed around 3 to 4 a.m., right after an extensive fireworks display from Metallica. Tyler said on the liner notes for the album during their set: "It rained like a cow pissing on a flat rock".
- During Primus' performance of the song "My Name Is Mud" the audience responded by pelting the band with mud, which singer/bassist Les Claypool ended by informing the crowd that "You know, when you throw things on stage, it's a sign of small and insignificant genitalia." Claypool claims that he still has mud in his bass cabinets as late as 2014.[17]

Notable events: Day 3
- Woodstock '94 has also been referred to as Mudstock, or Mudstock '94, partly due to the rainy weather that resulted in mud pits and the aforementioned performances of Nine Inch Nails and Primus. This culminated with Green Day's performance, during which guitarist and lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong started a mudfight during their song, “Paper Lanterns”, with the crowd. In the documentary VH1 Behind the Music: Green Day, bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for one of the fans jumping on stage, and was spear-tackled by a security guard, knocking out one of his teeth. It was this incident that caused Dirnt to need emergency orthodontia. A gag order was put in place regarding this incident. Due to the now-famous mud-fight and Dirnt's injury, Woodstock quickly propelled Green Day's then recently released album, Dookie, into success.
- After being injured in a traffic accident in 1966, and his subsequent disappearance from the popular music scene, Bob Dylan declined to go to the original Woodstock Festival of 1969, even though he lived in the area at the time and the festival had been put in his backyard to try to get him to come out and play. He set off for the Isle of Wight Festival the day the Woodstock festival started, and performed at Woodside Bay on 31 August 1969. Dylan, however, did accept an invitation to perform at Woodstock '94, and was introduced with the phrase: "We waited twenty-five years to hear this. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bob Dylan".[18] According to various critics, Dylan's performance was one of the greater moments of the festival, and represented the beginning of another new phase in his lengthy career.[citation needed] Uncharacteristically for the time, Dylan played lead guitar in a more rock-oriented electric set.
- The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed in lightbulb costumes for the first song of their set. Later in the set they would all dress up as Jimi Hendrix had at the original Woodstock. The lightbulb costumes are now on display at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- Peter Gabriel headlined the North Stage on the last night and closed Woodstock '94.[19]
Other notes on performers
- Several of the artists, including Green Day and Cypress Hill, skipped at least one Lollapalooza tour date in order to appear at Woodstock '94.
- Performers from the original Woodstock appearing at Woodstock '94 were the Band, Santana, Joe Cocker, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, surviving members of Sweetwater, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash. Additionally, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna, and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, all Woodstock alumni, also appeared, performing with the Band on guitar, bass, and guitar and vocals, respectively.
Declined invitations or missed connections
- Guns N' Roses were asked to appear at the festival, but the band declined due to internal problems as well as feeling the concert was too 'commercial.' However, lead guitarist Slash made an appearance with Paul Rodgers.
- Rumors circulated during the festival that The Rolling Stones were to make a surprise appearance because they were scheduled to play a concert in New York that weekend.[citation needed]
- Johnny Cash, the only living person at that time to be inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was also invited to perform, but after learning that he would not be performing on the main stage, declined to appear.[citation needed]
- Alice in Chains were on the initial bill of the festival. However, the band pulled out due to the continuing drug problems of lead singer Layne Staley.[citation needed]
- Guitarist Jerry Cantrell made a special guest appearance with Primus on the song "Harold Of The Rocks".
- Todd Rundgren had a multimedia performance in the festival's "Surreal Field" several times during the course of the entire festival.[20]
- Promoters pursued Nirvana to perform at the festival. At the time, the band pulled out of Lollapalooza due to singer Kurt Cobain's health. Cobain later died by suicide on April 5, 1994, four months before the festival.[21]
Emisiones y grabaciones
The Woodstock '94 festival was shot using the early analog HD 1125-line Hi-Vision system in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The footage would be used for later home packages and a planned theatrical documentary about the event. The HD footage was mixed live into standard definition 4:3 NTSC for cable TV broadcast.[22]
The Woodstock ‘94 festival was broadcast live on MTV via Pay Per View in the U.S. and Canada. In the U.K, audio from the event was broadcast on BBC Radio 1.
Commercial releases
Highlights from the concert were later released as a double album set on November 4, 1994, on CD and cassette. The film about the event, directed by Bruce Gowers, was also released straight to video the same year on VHS and Laserdisc. Currently, there is no DVD, Blu-ray or digital media release.
Since the release of the official album, various recordings of songs performed have been released officially; however, complete performances of entire sets have only been released unofficially as bootlegs. In 2019, a limited edition vinyl only release of Green Day's performance was released for Record Store Day, making this one of the first official releases of an entire Woodstock '94 set.
