A lot of this is about sexual assault and they show it. If you're like me and f'ing HATE watching that, here are Jewel's bits and where to find them.
First, Jewel comes in at around the 48 minute mark to chime in on a section about Nirvana and how they (temporarily) gave the isolated and voiceless a lot of hope and belonging. All this is to say that was the glory of Woodstock '94 that couldn't be re-captured in '99 because vapid rage rock and insipid pop was back in style by 1999.
She comes on again at 58 minutes, saying the era and show was disjointedbecause it didn't really have a purpose. There was nothing to fight like there was in '69, but the kids still wanted to fight. This made them aimless and, eventually, unruly. This segment is more largely about women in the festival, so she has a teeny bit of focus. Fun fact I had forgotten: there were only three female acts for the whole 3-day festival! Jewel, Alanis, and Sheryl Crow. One each night. Like it was a quota to fill. Pretty depressing in retrospect.
At the 1 hr 30 minute mark, Jewel comes back one last time. They show some screen time of her show from Sunday at 5:30 PM, but no music. She briefly talks about how depleted and strange the crowd was that evening.
This is basically the thesis of the whole thing: the rampant toxic masculinity in every crevice of this show fed by unbridled profiteering ruined everything about this festival and made it absolutely trash by every metric. It's a stain on our people and my generation. No wonder so many women my age grew up to be misandrists.
In the last few minutes, it becomes an ad for Coachella.
Final thought: The whole time I watched this movie, I thought about Rocking the Suburbs by Ben Folds. This video is much more entertaining.
