"He does not look sober but looks ready to rock and roll."

You have no idea how on point you are with that one! 😂

[demchrist]

Spare yourself "Daddy" for way later into your Korn journey. It's a traumatic experience for every new listener.

[dirtysmity]

No one is ever ready for Daddy...EVER....The Pit was even more insane than they show in this video...I was in the middle of it all and it was INSANE...Davis has said in interviews that this performance was their best performance ever...from beginning to end he put everything in to it and we felt it and loved every second of it...there is also a fan cam on the sidestage of this song "Curve Feeler" posted it

This was a great night! Hot AF out.... But Fun! I Remember korn playing thankfully, But after... I woke up in my tent the next morning lol. -- However I had an conversation with a guy that night in the back of the crowd that changed my life. - Long story short, He was an old man sitting behind a concession tent by himself looking stressed out so I sat with him. He told me that his daughter loved korn and she was hit by a car going around a school bus. And he wanted to "Bring her there with him" and this was 'before the time of Cell Phones', His pager went off and he started crying, So I asked him what was wrong and he had gotten a message from his lawyer that a law bill he put forward to have, school buses have stop signs and make it illegal to pass a school bus while stopped. He was so happy that he could save other children... it hit me like a brick in the face!! And changed my life. *edit- I was only 19y so it hit me hard { It was a crazy 4 days lol}

I was 14 years old in this crowd I got into soooo much trouble for going to this, everyone from my highschool that went got suspended and had to talk to the counselors, my parents grounded me for month. This all because what happened later when limp bizkit came on. This was most insane music festival/concert I ever attended. MY GENERATION IS THE CRAZIEST NO F'S GIVEN BOUT

[demchrist]

The songs after Blind are "Twist" and "Chi", which typically go together as they are the first and second tracks on the second Korn album "Life is Peachy".

[feather.t]

The second song, Twist, is actually scat. Jazz singers scat a lot, but Jonathan is the only metal singer I've ever heard scat and he's SO GOOD.

I've been listening to Korn since I was a little kid and its the one band I keep coming back too. They'll always be one of my favorites ❤

[MrMagic]

I was at Woodstock 99. To the right of the stage. I thought I was gonna die. Watch the whole show

[christineghere]

KoRn is my absolute favorite band, especially Johnathan Davis. He writes his lyrics like dark poetry, almost as a form of therapy, and I can relate, sadly. I literally listen to KoRn every day, they're my medicine, they keep me sane. 🤪

[edderozzy]

Korn -my gift to you. Live Woodstock 99

[demchrist]

Highly recommend listening to the studio versions of these songs. :)

[meme-lsft]

They are still touring and putting out new music..still selling out shows..still the best nu metal ever...in my opinion..lol 👍😎🔥🔥🔥 I've seen them live a few times .never gets old 😁

[lowruna]

I LOVE THAT YOU KEEP THE VIDEO PLAYING AND ADD SUBTITLES!!!! THERE ARE SO MANY REACTION VIDEOS THAT PAUSE THE VIDEO FOR EVERY COMMENT!!!

[Snitchols]

I worked Woodstock '99 as an EMT and with Korn being my favorite band back then, I made it a point to watch their whole set. There were plenty of barriers set up to prevent an onrush to the stage. All the people in yellow shirts are security and all the people in blue shirts are medical personnel. I've seen Korn over 20x and every one of their shows is intense. Great band to see live. You want a slightly different side of Korn check out their MTV Unplugged set they did.

[TheBuri]

I was there, bout 20 ft from the from stage. We were in that crowd for almost 10hrs at that point. Dehydrated and beat up. But loving it. KoRn crushed it that night. Some bad stuff did happen that weekend and I’m not diminishing what happened to those people and the riots ruined the end of the festival, but overall everyone I talk to who attended with me had a great time and anyone else I’ve met who attended have said same

[bawitback]

Korn old school live shows are off the chain!

[KatTerrorSF]

I was at this show 🤘 up front, stage left. I’ve seen Korn more than a few times, but this crowd was clearly the wildest. I’m 5’ 2” and at times the whole crowd would become one and shift. It was amazing 🤘 Also, thought I may die. 😅 I actually worked security for other concerts at this point in life and knew this festival was not prepared for this event on day one. The people who were working up front did the best they could with clearly a greedy event. When you entered the event, they took your water, the free water was tainted, and the purchased water started at $4 and then the vendors started to price gouge. The people who were supposed to clean the place did not, including the toilets. People got sick from bacteria. The promoters just wanted money. They handed out thousands of candles that even caught fire when they fell on the dried grass near the main stage. It’s almost like they wanted that to happen, since they were taking lighters away in the beginning. Then, the grass started catching fire, then the exhaustion, dehydration, hunger, greed, price gouging vibe went through the crowd and some bonfires turned into Lord of the Flies and people burned it to the ground. This was in Rome, New York. This was the middle of nowhere, on a polluted EPA Superfund site, it turns out. There was nowhere to get clean water in 100 degree weather. People snapped, and the promoters who cut every corner on sanitation, the location, medical, security, blamed it on the crowd.
A little context: I was also at a show in 1998 called the Tibetan Freedom concert that was struck by lightning. Huge crowd had to be evacuated from an outdoor soccer field. 11 struck by lightning. Same exact crowd, many of the same bands, East coast, Washington D.C. Those promoters handled it perfectly because their goal wasn’t to just milk people for profit.
The promoter tries, to this day, to blame these bands. I’ve been to hundreds of shows over decades, in over 10 states, 3 countries. The chaos that happened at Woodstock 99 happened once because of the of the action of the guys who won’t take credit for anything. The people who actually made it and lied about it still going well - after knowing people couldn’t afford food and water that they had taken away at the door. On day 2, they one and day two they knew they water and sanitation problems and did nothing and lied to the press.
BUT, also, one of the promoters downplayed that all 3 Woodstocks were kinda disasters, the first one having deaths, and having to be called a National Emergency like is done for hurricanes and tornadoes.
Like some other people, I was stuck there until Monday, after it burned to the ground.
I had taken a bus 5 hours there and it didn’t return until Monday 😂 I’m still glad I went. What stories! I saw a lot of other bands no one ever mentions because the weren’t the ones that had the most chaotic crowds. It doesn’t fit the promoters story to blame it on the unruly young people and not their greed. They even try to say it’s the crowd’s fault the fire department didn’t come, when, in fact, the whole area didn’t have a proper fire department for that kind of situation. It was mostly a volunteer fire department up there - farmers. It’s not a city. Those greedy promoters found a spin to blame literally everyone: the musicians, the crowd, the fire department, the people working.
I’m sure Jonathan Davis wasn’t happy about how the promoter gaslights children about some of the SA to this day.
Korn spoke to this generation of Americans, in particular, because they were latch-key kids. This was more of no one caring. Gen X isn’t even listed on generation lists, now 😂 This was a wild show, though, and I’m glad I was there and survived. I saw the whole thing all the way to the end.

[YONATOOTH]

He was actually sober at this point. He quit alcohol and drugs in 98 during the making of Follow The Leader.

[JOEFRAUST]

A man with his talents creativeness and artistic soul should never be tampered with in such ways. Jonathan Davis you are amazing.

[palladinodessa]

Korn were at the very forefront of the nu-metal sound and it is still awesome to hear, it was a different sound, but it was catchy and they had their own particular groovy/thrashy sound.
