Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Woodstock 99, and it’s a festival that Sheryl Crow would certainly like to forget. In an interview with “Rolling Stone” she actually calls her appearance “the single worst gig I’ve ever been on.”
“There all these camera crews and topless girls on guy’s shoulders getting on TV,” Sheryl says. “It was a very MTV kind of moment. No one could bring in any food or water, and the bottled water was super-expensive. It bred rebellion.” She added, “The porta-potty got turned over, and the next thing I know, I’m playing bass and there’s feces being thrown right where I’m playing.”
Sheryl was forced to deal with tons of hecklers, noting, “They wouldn’t get away with that now,” explaining, “The audience was frustrated and angry and it was everything but what Woodstock (was about).”
Finally, she shared, “It was by far the worst. It was the single worst gig I’ve ever been on. We got out of there as fast as we possibly could.”
