Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fire - 7/25/1999 - Woodstock 99 East Stage (Official)

[@DeeVee-f7k]

The fact that the producers told rhcp to try & calm down the crowd & they come out and play this is fucking savage 😂

[@ARO323]

Absolutely the best fuck you they could have given to ‘the man’ 🤣

[@буба-з3ч]

This is not true, the song was on the original setlist, and Hendrix's relatives asked to play a song in his honor.

[@ClickToPreview]

I was there in the crowd. Maybe it was on the setlist, but it pretty much happened on cue then (!) as morons had lit the outer barrier of the venue on fire a few minutes earlier.

The Chili Peppers absolutely KILLED this song! They do the best version in my opinion, plus you gotta listen to the version of fire that has actual fires going on during it and it's absolute chaos.

[@j-dub618]

I was there that night and started to get worried that the crowd was getting out of control because of the fires and the overturned cars. So during this song I was right in the middle near the front and I had my girl crowd surf over the barrier to the security staff. Then I had the crowd lift me up and I crowd surfed over the metal barrier to security's hands. But right before I surfed over the barrier I turned around on my back and got a 5 second glimpse back at the fires and 250k+ fans and lights. A sight I'll never forget. BTW, I stuck the landing when I was thrown over and security loved it!! Then we got the hell out of there.

Well the concerts were really good, everything else sucked. They had not nearly enough water. The toilets broke after day 2 and over flooded so the whole concert ground was full of human shit and piss, plus everyone just pissed where they were because the toilets were broken.

[@robertg9153]

Whether or not KZbin's guidelines are or are not as rigid as you think, MAN, is to me irrelevant insofar as my comments here go. I'm just sharing my alternate viewpoint :) Again, as to nudity in general: When you shame it, you draw attention to it objectify it and thus inappropriately envalue it with a traditional but not well thought out stigma, which I personally believe has undesirable consequences including body shame, sexual repression in adulthood, and the oversexualization of the human physical form... Sexual attraction long ago used to be untouched by herd mentality and we procreated just fine; furthermore, sexuality can instead be more about the personal CONNECTION with the person, instead of having all this focus on these mysterious hidden body parts we GIVE so much power to by means of such taboo associations. When you hide and forbid something, it becomes something of an obsession. That's basic psychology. Why don't more people ponder this? Some do. They're called nudists :)
