I think if there was a doc that would give me all kinds of nostalgic feels and be really expansive and gripping on an interview level would be a full odd future retrospective

Saw the Ken Burns Jazz documentary playing last night. Ten parts long, two hours per episode. The final episode was showing and it was about 1961-present (2000 was the release year). So they really did not give a lot of attention to that whole forty year period. They did cover Miles and Coltrane a little but damn.
Just watched Music Box Episode 1. Woodstock ‘99: Peace, Love & Rage. Damn what a shitshow. Both angered and sad at some of the shit that went down.
I've still got Sunday left because I was getting sleepy but I honestly feel like they're underselling how miserable it was.
Also, I hadn't noticed that there were only three female artists. Stunning.
Total copout saying that they booked based on who could handle being on that stage. Plenty of other female acts wouldve fit with the bro fest. No Doubt, Hole, Garbage and The Cranberries weren't around? Question is, who turned them down.

I thought the doc was genuinely chilling so the fact you’re saying it was actually worse is horrifying.
I was telling Druid this but it was my first camping festival. Also I was solo.
I left in the middle of the night on Sunday because there was a large, loud group of guys screaming 'Let's fucking kill someone!' Packed my shit up and carried it past a line of riot cops and slept at a thruway rest stop.
They touched on it briefly but the showering facilities were a giant plywood fenced corral with hoses strung along boards overhead.
The portos looked like they were an homage to the secret entrance bathroom stall in Desperado.
The parking was - in my memory, anyways - like a mile away from the camping. I don't recall that being a known fact in advance.
Aside from the two main stages the rest of the attractions (EDM, cinema, etc) were in super echoy airplane hangers.
All of that before you get to the behavior of the crowd itself.

Not a doc but a fictionalized biopic about Brian Wilson. I watched it a few weeks ago and I thought it was great. I started listening to more Beach Boys than I ever have and ordered a Wilson biography called Catch A Wave to get the full, unembellished story. The movie mostly focuses on the the making of Pet Sounds and conception of Smile as Wilson's mental health deteriorates. Original music by Atticus Ross, too.
"Tobie Amies' long-awaited King Crimson documentary, In The Court Of The Crimson King, King Crimson At 50, will launch this October. You can watch the trailer below above.
The documentary, described by Crimson leader Robert Fripp as "A grown-up film about working players living, dying, laughing, playing..." was four years in the making and will open for one day only in select independent cinemas worldwide on Wednesday October 19, with a specially filmed introduction.
Following that, the film is scheduled to stream via nugs.net (opens in new tab) on October 24. A BluRay/DVD release and larger box set will follow, which will include previously unseen live performances from the band, outtakes and hours of unreleased additional footage."
