I was there, was 20. Best set was Korn, was like 10 yrds from the stage when Korn came out, when he said are u ready go I was lifted off my feet by a wave of people. That whole night was magical. I remember ending it playing in a drum circle at 6 am of about 5000 people. Yeah it was a good time.
I’ve seen him do other interviews where he won’t shut the hell up. When he’s quiet and let’s the guest talk, it’s because he literally can’t think of anything to say, it’s not an interviewing technique. It all depends on the day and the guest.
You can tell the way he kept smiling & talking about the experience that it’s a moment he’ll cherish forever. I mean walking onto a stage & seeing just a sea of humans coming to watch you perform is a feeling that I’m sure him & his band mates will keep in there scrapbook of rad memories till the day they die.
Steve-O doesn't say anything but a whisper at the beginning "tell us". How rad is that? Way to let someone who can actually entertain an audience tell their story without interruption. Bravo!
I get goosebumps watching video of them opening with Blind and when it comes to the line “What if I should diiiiiiie?!” Jonathan holding the mic out to the audience and that ginormous sea of people singing it back to him so loud. Shits intense!
@@mk-apache6161 ok limp bizkit, slipknot and s.o.a.d are the bests, better and more powerful than korn. ..korn are just introverts, nice and not badass. dont worry #korn4Life
was just watching "Trainwreck" on Netflix and they had Jonathon Davis talking over that part, and he was even talking about having the control of the crowd at that point. They missed a big opportunity by not playing that part right after he said that. Ive been watching that set for many years and that part is fucking great.
most insane crowd show i've ever watched... can't even imagine being there... most of watched that show 100 times. when he drops the "are you readyyyyy" at the beginning of Blind...!!! Goosebumps every single time.
I was there at WS 99. I was 15 years old. It was a literal shit show. Cant believe how much they were charging for food. Dude at the burger stand told me to fuck off if I couldnt pay $15 for a plain burger and a bottle of water.
@@npc1386 We eventually went to a gas station about 2 miles away, bought what we could and snuck back in. All in all, it was a good time even though everything we brought was either destroyed or stolen lol
Last show I went to at the Shoreline here in Mountain View I think it was probably 18-20 bucks for a burger and water/drink. Crazy. Of course that's now. Or 2019 before covid anyway.
Proud to say I was there...Blind was one of the most insane songs I've even heard at a concert, bar none. UA-cam it...literal waves of people going from the front to the back. Can't imagine what that felt like to be the guy on stage making that happen...but thanks JD, one of the greatest things I've ever experienced, and I've been through a lOT lol
That was prime Korn! And they closed it with "my gift to you" The song he's talking about I think was "Beg 4 me" he literally just made up half that song on the spot. 😂
I remember hearing on the radio that Jonathan Davis had mad bags of ice on him after KoRn's performance @ Woodstock 99. Dude really went in & gave it his all.
This was a dope show. 17 yrs old.. I lost my crew after the korn set and met all types from all over the world. I remember those giant upside-down garbage can drum circles. Sky was pink from fires. Stayed in a chicks tent😳 . Drugs were definitely prominent. Memories are what you make em I guess🤷🏻♂️. Oh yeah we lived off combos... I can't eat them to this day! Haha
Same age as you. Had two tickets. The person who was suppose to come with me bailed though, so I never made it. It still bugs me, despite the riots etc.
Was there for thier set, best concert they have done I've seen them play over 10 times including thier tour last summer. Nothing but a sea of ppl jumping in time to the music. I was definitely the best night of my life.
I love hearing these stories. I've seen the videos of Korn performing at Woodstock 99. Looks insane lol. But it would've been awesome to be in the audience
I get Chills when I watch the vid of them playing Blind. The intro build up with the crowd shooting fireworks in the background and then when he screams ARE YOU READY the whole crowd turns into wave pool.
I was there too when I was 15 years old and till this day whenever I see Korn's opening or limp's set it still sends chills up my spine. Feel blessed that I got to experience that in first hand and definitely was one of the wildest and funnest times of my life. Most people won't ever know what it's like to hear and see 300,000 people at once move like the ocean especially when Korn came out
I was there when I was a kid with my bff and it was awesome man! The good parts that aren’t really spoken about. We we’re right in the middle of the riots and it was a kick ass time!
@@Grunge2009 There were some "pre-show" performers on July 22nd iirc (with Vertical Horizon being the most prominent of that bunch)... James Brown was the "official" opener on July 23rd though...
The quality of the Woodstock '99 video on the end of the "Deuce" DVD was amazing for its time, on a standard definition TV. I hope one day, KoRn's entire concert set is released at the high quality possible! Which for me, is a smart interpolated de-interlace from SD to 1080p60.
Saw the Woodstock clip from Netflix doc yesterday and idk but something clicked & I got so captivated by them . I was never really into grunge but never mind? Lmao. Korn was the 1st to change that apparently. Lowkey wish I wasn’t 4yo when Woodstock happened 😅 new fan 🙌🏼 their performance and energy and what they represent I admire a lot. and their life stories makes me want to know them even more as humans. I wish them all the best ❤️ wanted to show my appreciation for them lol
Lmao the dude was just as lost as everyone else. Seeing some of his reactions to what was going on in the crowd that say really gives you an of how jacked it was...
it kind of bothered me they didn't recognize how hype DMX had that heavy numetal crowd of pissed off white kids, rapping back the lyrics and slam dancing to Flesh of My Flesh lol

Yeah I was there at an old age of 29, lol. Korn was awesome but the best band for me was Rage! Best song though was Blind! Great weekend except for a few thousand punks

That crowd during "Blind" is easily one of the craziest things I've ever seen from a live performance.
As far as back as possible.
When they played “ blind” ppl set off fireworks in the crowd...after “ are you Ready?!?” The entire crowd was a tidal wave. 😤🤯
Its a korn feild
that blind performance deserves guiness book of WRs
You can feel the energy thru the screen when watching woodstock 99. Wish i had been there

They all toured together the year before for Family Values Tour '98 so it made sense they all became bros!

You can say the same about imagining having the likes of Pantera, Slayer, Slipknot, System Of A Down, Deftones or Rammstein present as well...
I heard that when the beat dropped for blind the amount of people jumping actually interfered with the radio signals
Now gotta go find that video of them playing blind and the crowd turning into ocean waves.

When korn played and everyone lit their lighters was fucking siiick!!!
