8/10
The documentary is well made, but it leaves you feeling angry, sad and angry again
3 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
On one hand a must watch, on the other an enraging documentary.

Watching this, and growing up the ninetees music era, enjoying it to its fullest, I can't help but wonder what has become of all the godfearing American people that were there. Environmentalists ? Bankers ? Homeless ? Family men ? Soccer moms ? Politicians

Some people who participated to this documentary still seem to find it all very funny

You do get to see how Beavis and Butthead are doing these days. They aged terribly.

The first title of this documentairy would have been a much better fit, "trainwreck" is way too mellow for this huge disaster. Greed, lust, pride.gluttony, wrath, sloth and a lot of drugs, alcohol and no water respectivily crowd and organisation, all present.

Add a couple of artists, bands that are contributing, enthousiasming the chaos and violence

The concert industry must have learned a lot of this "how not to organize a festival" Woodstock 99 disaster although I wonder if they really learned a lesson, especially when money becomes the main goal. Hence Love Parade Germany, Astroworld.

It's a miracle "only" three people died.

This is hard to rate: the docu is painting a realistic picture, but the content is horrible, so the rating is purely for the quality of the series.
