Woodstock 94 - surveying the landscape. 

I would say it's all relative. I was at Woodstock '94. I saw a guy fall to his death at the main stage. He climbed to the top of the scaffolding in front of the main stage (the one at this timestamp ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-54gn36Kr4uM.html) and thought he would jump into the mosh pit from that height. People in the pit saw him and instead of catching him they all moved away. Same night that NIN played there were women being raped while watching bands at the main stage. Men were targeting women in skirts and coming at them from behind. There was virtually no security, except for at the very front rails of the stages. No one could hear these women scream and many thought they were just enjoying the show. You couldn't get out or go anywhere because there were SO many people. Most women couldn't even identify who it was who had raped them because they couldn't turn around to see the face of their attacker. I had almost everything stolen from me including most of my clothes. I got pneumonia. I was stranded there once the show ended because the organizers made no plan to get people out. They only made plans to get people there. I ended up hitchhiking to the train station. Got to my hotel in Newark and found out my dad had died. Did I mention I went by myself to this show? I was 20 yrs old. No one would go with me so I just decided to go alone. Met up with a friends cousin who I saw for maybe 10 minutes in 3 days. There was a woman at TWA who took pity on me and when I checked in for my flight she had asked me if I was okay because I was so sick and looked terrible. She bumped me up to first class so I could be more comfortable on my 4 hour direct flight back to Denver. I slept the entire flight. Looking back at this video now I honestly cannot believe that I made it there and back. I commented on another video that Kate uploaded about waiting for nearly 12 hours at the main stage just to see NIN perform. I was front row on the rail for their performance. There's a *very* brief moment in the Woodstock DVD where I can be seen during their set. I don't remember which song it was during though.

Impossible. It was absolutely impossible! The porta-potties were overflowing and once the rain and mud mess began people started tipping over the toilets, sometimes with people inside. It was disgusting and smelled horrible. There wasn't near enough toilets for the number of people who attended. This was mostly because nearly 300k people pushed the outer fence over and just walked right in.
