** To the extent that any band's performance can be considered a precipitating cause of the riots - a dubious proposition, given the structural issues mentioned above - that would be festival closers Music/RedHotChiliPeppers. And even then, it's less "precipitating cause" and more "pile-up of horrible coincidences": given that UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} had happened not long before, the decision had been made to make anti-gun violence a major theme of the festival. Despite the disturbances of the previous days as well as internal opposition from the production team, organizers went ahead with the distribution of hundreds of thousands of candles meant for a vigil, which indeed [[HopeSpot created a beautiful tableau of a sea of lights]] backdropping "Under the Bridge." However, by the time RHCP came back on for their encore, those candles had been used to [[FromBadToWorse light the first bonfires]] that would eventually blaze out of control were appearing in the crowd (which led to Anthony Keidas's bemused observation "holy shit, it's ''Film/{{Apocalypse Now}} ''out there"). The band's choice for an encore? A cover of Music/{{Jimi Hendrix}}'s "Fire" at the request of Hendrix's sister. That just set things up for the matches-in-the-sawdust-filled-room moment that followed; attendees had been vaguely promised a major capstone performance, perhaps reprising an act from the original Woodstock, and were indeed given one...in the form of ''archival footage ''of Hendrix's '69 Woodstock performance as Peter Lang [[AntiClimax thanked everyone for attending]]. After a weekend of price-gouging and substandard facilities, attendees were ''not ''feeling charitable, and the now-infamous riots kicked off.

* Music/TheWho's song "Who Are You" is well-known for featuring the [[PrecisionFStrike F-bomb]] ("Who the fuck are you?"). However, the F-bomb is only dropped twice in the song, not all the way through despite what listeners remember.

The first F-bomb doesn't appear until the second chorus and the second occurs shortly before the song wraps up, but a lot of people immediately sing "Who the fuck are you, who who, who who, who the fuck are you, who who, who who..." etc. when singing it.
