The heavily-edited, VHS version of Woodstock 99 comes to DVD, presenting two-and-a-half hours of music from a fairly diverse lineup, including Jewel,,,, and Lit.

But for casual fans who appreciate the comforts of home more than the total Woodstock experience, Woodstock '99 delivers plenty of highlights.
