Maybe no one else cares, but I think there is such a crazy dichotomy between these two pieces of media.
HBOs Woodstock 99 - a traditional documentary. The conceit is that this huge thing was done a long thing ago with no planning, but it was great. So they tried to do it again with no planning. "The failure was idealism and a lack of planning."
Netflix's Trainwreck - as far as I can tell, the conceit is twofold: "hey, we've all been to festivals!" and "hey, we've all seen that doc about Fyre, right? That same thing totally happened in just as crazy of a way before you were born. It was totally just as crazy!" The crowd even shouted for Sheryl Crow to show her tits! In 1999! At a concert!
I'm open to arguments, but darn it seems like the whole first episode of the Netflix version is interviews with people saying "dude I was so high in 99!"

Haven’t seen either, but I do have a question. If Woodstock was done back in the 70s with no planning, how did it go so well? Like clearly the 99 version failed on many levels, so how did the actual Woodstock function?

They literally got saved by the community; fed and clothed them. The people were sleeping in mud, fricked out of their mind on drugs
