Carson Daly recalls his harrowing experience at Woodstock '99 well. Due to the new Netflix documentary "Trainwreck: Woodstock '99," which details the festival, the infamous event has been on the former talk-show host's mind more than usual.
"I've been getting asked about #woodstock99 a ton recently," he wrote in an Aug. 12 Instagram post. "All I can say is I thought I was going to die. It started off great, Trl live from the side of main stage interviewing all the bands (like Jay from Jamiroquai) & started getting pelted with bottles, rocks, lighters, all of it. It got insane, fast. Nightfall, Limp [Bizkit] plays 'Break Stuff' & the prisoners were officially running the prison."
Eventually, he and his team decided to escape. "My boss @MTV Dave says to our staff/crew backstage, 'We can no longer guarantee your safety, it's time to go!' I remember being in a production van driving recklessly...

When HBO renewed Bill Simmons’ “Music Box” documentary series for a second season in December, it wasn’t exactly surprising. Critics, film festival programmers and audiences were immediately taken with the series of six docs, which launched in July.
But the road to success was a long one. Simmons conceived the series back in 2018. His idea was to make the music version of the wildly successful sports docuseries “30 for 30,” which he co-created for ESPN more than a decade ago. Like “30 for 30,” installments of “Music Box” wouldn’t tell the entire trajectory of an artist’s career, but instead spotlight pivotal moments, creations and creators within the music sector. Also like “30 for 30,” Simmons would enlist A-list documentary filmmakers to make his vision come to light.
Three and a half years later in July, Garret Price’s “Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage” became the first...
