I mean suddenly I was on the map.\u201d The next Woodstock was a different story. \u201cThere all these camera crews and topless girls on guy\u2019s shoulders getting on TV,\u201d Crow recalls. \u201cIt was a very MTV kind of moment. No one could bring in any food or water, and the bottled water was super-expensive. It bred rebellion. The porta-potty got turned over, and the next thing I know, I\u2019m playing bass and there\u2019s feces being thrown right where I\u2019m playing. You can imagine the vibe before we went out, and Insane Clown Posse was right after us. The audience was frustrated and angry and it was everything but what Woodstock. It was by far the worst. It was the single worst gig I\u2019ve ever been on. We got out of there as fast as we possibly could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Crow also digs into the making of her guest-packed new album <em>Threads<\/em> \u2014 which features Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, Chuck D, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Sting, Kris Kristofferson, St. Vincent, James Taylor, Maren Morris, Joe Walsh, Gary Clark Jr, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, and Neil Young among others \u2014 and reveals plans to assemble enough live performances with the guests to make a documentary. The full conversation will be published in the print edition of the magazine in August.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/woodstock-99-sheryl-crow-worst-gig-862968\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just how awful was Woodstock \u201999, which hits its 20th anniversary this week?
