I sit here listening to music before bed reminiscing about how life went by so quickly. I’m 40 but remember rushing to the mall to buy this CD when it first came out. Seems like yesterday. Hope you all are doing well. God bless
I turned 40 this summer. This song instantly makes me feel 15 again. I played this album over and over... and maybe had a slight crush on Gavin. 🥰Remember watching Woodstock ‘99 turn into mass hysteria when they set it on fire? I remember watching it live at my friends house on MTV. Crazy. Glad you’re doing well!
Awesome isn't it...90s ruled with the most and best band's to come out in that era...I don't know if Rock will ever get better for as bands...it would take alot to beat those bands in the 90s...
I disagree! The last great era was being a kid begging to watch the JETSONS! b4 your parents got so stoned they forgot they had kids and played the DOORS 8 tracks all day while you did weird kid shit outside because it was FUN! :)
The last time you would live in a semi cohesive society with similarities between past present and future yes this much is true. There is no more past present and future only the state and how they want you to think now.
@@patwaddingtonit was crazy. The lady hands were Chili peppers on the main stage and Megadeth on the second stage. Id seen chili peppers so many times so I saw Megadeath. I was about 20ft from the stage. It was EPIC. Then as we walked back to the campsite it was like in the movies where suddenly everyone starts walking fast, then jogging, then all out sprinting. And it took my friends a minute to realize we were walking towards what everyone was running from. Lol
This is pure nostalgia, its summer time mid 1999 playing tony hawk pro skater and then later skating with friends and playing pokemon. Please god I dont want to be here anymore
Haha, I’m with you mate, was playing the PS1 and jumping my BMX without a care in the world back then, such an awesome time to grow up in. I’m going to see these guys in March and can’t wait!
BUSH, LIVE, STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Counting Crows, The Offspring, Candlebox, Collective Soul, Green Day, NIN, R.E.M., U2, Third Eye Blind and so many more. Just fantastic music and brings back so many memories of my early 20s. I still remember discovering a few of these bands while I was in the Persian Gulf in 91. I bought Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and RHCCP new CDs at the same time and little did I know what I was in store for. I was just hearing about some of them on MTV at the time and went ahead and bought them. I had already known about RHCCP from 120 minutes years before and had some previous stuff. What awesome memories!
Difference is then to now, everybody understood this was their era and embraced it fully. They knew their parents had the 60’s - 70’s as theirs so they had the mentality of “this is my era”. Nowadays you got people wishing they were living in the 80’s or 90’s, I admit I’m one of them but nobody sees this as a time they want to look back on in future and go “we made the most of it”. That’s the problem with this time.
Song was released 27 years ago, footage is from 22 years ago, video was published 9 months ago and has an incredible 1.2 million views. That’s what you call standing the test of time. Amazing.
I saw them in concert last month and the whole crowd sang along to this song. Gavin put on a great performance, really energetic and interactive with the crowd, I was impressed.
I believe the best era for music was 1920s when jazz was at its peak. The music had so much emotion that just isn’t captured these days in modern songs
@@fthprodphoto-video5357 only because you grew up in it. I did as well and the music was shit. Woodstock aside everything was rap culture. Baggy pants. Etc.
Sitting here as a 20 year old reading all these comments from reminiscing 30-40 year olds, you guys were all so lucky to live through this era of music I can’t imagine what it would be like talking to my friends about this type of stuff when it came out
Yes we lived through great music. I’m 51. But the best music was the 60’s. Jimmi Hendrix, Beetles ( referred to in this song, Strawberry fields), Bob Dylan etc. real music in this and the previous era’s. So wonderful that you appreciate real music with real instruments, not all computer. Take care. This is a great band and song.
To the most beautiful girl at Woodstock 99, the one that was on my shoulders when Bush performed this song...we met during this set at this show and hung out during the entire Bush performance. Out of 250,000 ppl , you were HANDS DOWN the ABSOLUTE PRETTIEST girl at the entire weekend show! Unquestionably. And you were soo super sweet! If you happen to see this , please say hi to me. I was devastated when I fell asleep and missed meeting back up with you at the airplane Hangar for the Rave. I looked for you for the next two days but never saw you again. I seriously wanted to cry. If yall would pin this JIC she miraculously happens to see this, that would be amazing. She was so genuinely nice, I always have wondered about her, and hate thinking she may feel I stood her up
Sometimes in life this happens, and sometimes it’s way better than actually getting to know her, and end up hating her because her feet smelled like corn chips 😂.. just thank her for that moment in time she gave you
Wow. It’s been over 20 years now but the way you’re writing about it it feels as if you met and lost her just yesterday. Time and music are two of the most amazing things there are in this world!
I was running on fumes but I had a great time. Korn took it all out of us prior to bush setting up ... They didn't get their wings until halfway through I cannot remember exactly what part glycerine was I'm pretty sure that was towards the middle.... Man this was before 9/11 cell phones we thought we were miserable for those couple days best fucking weekend of my life
It was fucking amazing I'm watching it now and I can feel the same thing rush through me just like that night met this beautiful girl there we thought we were so grown neither one of us realized we had so much more to go wish I could find her
It was very very hot and crowded. I was maybe 14 or 15 and still remember this performance, Rage, Crystal Method, and Metallica being the best. We left midday Sunday before the madness started.
Man anytime Woodstock videos come up I start getting chills. That was one of the most amazing weekends of my life, I am 45 now bad knees, bad back, bad wife, awesome son and of course a mortgage. Back then though 20 on more drugs then Id admit to not a care in the world. Unfortunately whoever said youth is wasted on the Young was a genius.
That’s interesting because I’ve had some great times, I was in my teens in the 90s but life has gone quite slowly for me. Everyone says it goes fast but I’ve been through so much and I’m not even 40 yet
@@rhettpeter83 me too, I’ve seen a lot and been a lot of places most will never get to go . I’ve never been out of the country because fear of flying but I’ve literally drove almost every hwy in America and seen every major city . My favorite place I’ve ever been is in the mountains of Tennessee in Gatlinburg . That’s my hometown . But just seems like yesterday I was a teenager . From 25 to 50 has literally flown by so fast my head is still spinning . After 50 you start having little medical problems and next thing you know your having stress tests and colonoscopies every year . In reality I’ve probably only got a short time left on this earth and still haven’t done anything with my life that I can say I’m proud of . I’ve helped a few people along the way but I’ve not left a mark on the world and I’ll be forgotten after I’m gone . The worst thing ever is to be close to death and realize all you’ve done your whole life is worry about death .
Doesn’t it? I’m 2 yers older than yourself and going back listening to this, Candlebox, Gin Blossoms, Dave Matthews, Nirvana….we were babies, but this music is timelessly brilliant
It is still out there it just doesn't have as much commercial success anymore. The 90s were a special time where people appreciated an honest pure performance more than I feel like they do today where the world is so manufactured.
@@loganpaul9759The problem is we didn't have to widen our horizons back then. Today, front and center is all the garbage, if we have to find all the hidden gems, we'll just revert to what we already love. 70s/80s/90s. No shortage of legends there.
married the man I saw this performance with! Watched them perform again, ~18 yrs later, with the same man; we're all a bit squishier, a bit grey; but still able to rock all night! ❤️ these guys!
@@amandamaze9369 sadly he cheated on his wife for three years with their Nanny and while she was pregnant with their last Child Appolo. :( I'm not happy writing this though. I truly feel he loves Gwen but some men and women just don't have monogamy in them. He is a Rock God for goodness sake!! I'm sure Gwen was surprised it lasted as long as it did Trust me I am not condoning it! It sickens me! My ex-husband cheated on me. I've been divorced for over 25 years. I've dated a lot since but just won't ever marry again. As I stated above some men and women just don't know what monogamy means and I got tired a long time ago of finding that out the hard way. :( I still love Bush and their music!!.I think Gavin is sexy as hell!! And I too come here often to here them perform and see his sexy self! Peace ✌
@@lola1372 that's his personal business u don't know what he was going through internally, maybe u should look in the mirror find it faults and work on them ,no one is perfect in the flesh
One man with a guitar to play and a story to sing. People talked a lot of shit about Gavin/Bush back then. But this performance is exactly why they became the biggest band in the world for a point in time. It takes a certain charisma and a huge set of balls to stand alone in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people knowing millions more were watching on TV...and pour your heart out. To do it so flawlessly is amazing. And, even the adamant Bush haters were right there singing the fuck along because this performance commanded it. Hands down the best five minutes of the entire weekend.
@@Kai-worldclassI see a lot of people saying they were Nirvana wannabes but honestly I love Nirvana too and I get a totally different sound and vibe from both bands. I would never compare them.
I'm 34, my son is 14, and knows how to play this song on his electric guitar. He just learned it today. And this has always been one of my fave songs. So that comment blew my mind a little. Lol
Still gives me goosebumps. I remember when I got this album, I was probably around 10 years old,lol, and my grandma and I went to Strawberries (remember Strawberries,guys?)and I picked this and Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. I went home and ripped those CDs open-it was hard,all that plastic-and stared at the art and the lyrics on the inserts while I let them play. I’ve been listening ever since.
This is just a great performance - even though this song came out in 1994, it was still managed to be one the best moments of Woodstock '99, if not the best.
This and when Staind played "Outside" at the Family Values Tour. Shit I wish I wasn't 11 years old back then lol. I would have loved to be at those shows.
Don't know how many times I've watched this exact video. Everytime I always completely stop what I am doing to watch this start to finish. Legendary status!
@@angelabraunsdorf3087 I don’t know, go look up some recent pics. My wife gets people magazine and they did a story on him July of last year, she was like ‘isn’t that the guy from Bush, he’s still hot AF!’. The dude still looks like a rock god.
There was a slow kid at my school called Gavin, he used to ride around on a skateboard and fall off it all the time. We called him "skateboard Gavin" and bullied him aggressively. I met my best friend in yr10 History, we bonded over bullying Gavin. We were best man at each others wedding and it was bought up in both speeches. People often raise the impact of bullying on the victims, but rarely are the benefits talked about, like the 20 people who are laughing at the person getting bullied and the bonds they form.
God he beautiful that performance came after a huge uproar that had to been total bravery to go up there and sing this with just a guitar. Gavin you're the man
@@genuinemorganI recommend watching the documentary on this festival. It was actually appalling what happened there, so much destruction. It wasn’t a controlled atmosphere at all. Gavin put himself in a really dangerous position doing this, the crowd was drugged up and very hyped after Korn’s performance. This was not planned at all, he did it to calm them, they were trying to tear the stage down and he put himself out there like this.
Saw this live... 3 weeks before I moved off to my first year in College. So many memories. I'm almost 40 now... hard to believe time's gone by so much.
Dude I feel you. I made a huge mistake in my 20's and missed out on years inside prison and all I was left with were my memories of the good days when I wasn't such a screw up.
Hi RI, I can totally relate, first year college, peer pressure..... pen pushing pressure... but this song help me through.... plus my close friends call me Glycerine Marie and it has been 2 decades now..
I almost had tears in my eyes, so much emotion came over me as I heard this song, while it's blasting out the speakers. I'm in the kitchen prepping my meals and getting ready for the gym. I walk over to the laptop and it's Bush at Woodstock '99. Hearing this song took me back to '99, like it was yesterday. That concert was epic!
Oh men, I'recently watch W99's documental in Netflix. Was it as bad as they show in this documental? My feeling is that most of the people should go again next year...
good, and Im glad those corporate douchebags got their stuff burned. so what they just took the insurance money .but the girls who were raped and the boy who died of heat stroke can't be brought back
for real, they were the biggest rock band in the US in 1996, their tour was such a big deal, after that they kind of fell off, by Woodstock they were almost seen as a has-been act and since than they have really fallen off
This song went viral before viral was even a pop culture term. The 90s were an amazing time to be a teenager. There was a balance between technology and life, MTV still played music videos (at least up to mid 90s), two stroke dominated off road, the list goes on. I remember racing to the mall in '95 when Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness came out. The line at Sam Goody stretched outside. Waited for almost three hours, line barely budged and they sold out all CDs and cassette copies. Total bummer that I didn't get my CD but as I look back, it was one of the many adventures I had and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Love reading comments like this painting a moment in time. Was born in '91 and I thank God so much for having a childhood in the 90's. Couldn't imagine being a teen then.
I can only imagine what this atmosphere was like. I didn't start going to concerts till around 03 and always felt I missed out on a lot, this looks amazing
Nobody wants to play real instruments anymore. Or start bands because bands died out. Everyone wants to be a rapper or pop star. Sadly. Also no idols of our time to look up to like this.
@@BayArea4375 I have a band, we’re doing our best to try and revive this type of music, I’m 20 so I wasn’t born in that era sadly, but it hits home to me
First time I heard this song was a at a thrift store just two days ago. This live performance is one of the best I’ve ever heard. All this 20+ years later.
Yeah, my first thought when I saw the video was "damn Gavin Rossdale looked hot when he was my age". Then I checked wikipedia and was shocked to find out that he was 34 back then and not in his early twenties like I thought.
i have been watching this video for years and have hesitated to comment, it's an incredible performance that should survive. people should be able to hear this for all of time. i hope all we do here, now, is not in vain, we cannot be forgotten. we did more than anybody in the history of the world. feel good people before you breath that last breath.
Definitely not dead. Just not mainstream anymore. Im sure I can say for others that mainstream is getting old really quick. Hopefully a new wave will come
Saw Bush, Buckcherry and Bloodhound Gang in concert. Bush put on the best show I ever saw. At one point in Glycerine, he jumps into the crowd and they carried him to the other side of the venue and suddenly a spotlight found him in the stands and he played the next verse, and crowd surfed back to the main stage to finish the song. It was incredible.
saw them live a few weeks ago, i’ve never been a big fan of this song, but hearing it live has made me appreciate it so much more, there’s just something about hearing the raw emotion as they sing it live that makes it infinitely better :)
I just saw Bush for the first time ever yesterday and seeing him perform this song and how he still did almost spot on with how he does it here makes it that much more special. He ended up coming into the crowd and I got a foot away from him and it completely made my entire day to be so close to an absolute rock and alternative legend like Gavin who I hold as one of the best musicians of the 90s is just amazing. I would’ve done anything in the world to be there in that crowd that night. 🤘🏻❤️
This song brings me back to the summer in the 90s, hanging out in a friend's car with the windows down and we're yelling at the world. We didn't have the internet constantly informing us what everyone else is doing - we found our friends... showed up unannounced - made adventures even if it was just chilling and smoking weed. It was such a different time that I wish I could share with my kids. Now they have videos of other people playing video games so they don't have to.
I was visiting my mom at the time she was watching Woodstock 99 and lived through the first Woodstock. This performance came on and I said WOW, never heard of Bush.
