Explores Woodstock 99, a three-day music festival promoted to echo unity and counterculture idealism of the original 1969 concert but instead devolved into riots, looting and sexual assaults.
A reality-tv show where 5 celebrity couples in rocky relationships each season would stay in a big mansion together with continous meetings with psychologists and experts in the field led by Dr. Jenn Mann to try to sort their relationship problems as well as personal ones. The 2 couples that spawned the most controversy in media were the tumultious relationship beween rapper DMX and Tashera Simmons plus actor Doug Hutchinson (The Green Mile) and wife and fame-seeker Courtney Stodden (they stood out alot due to Courtney being 17 turning 18 when the show was filmed while Doug was 52). Some a-list celebs appeared (Too Short, Treach from Naughty By Nature, Jenna Jameson, Scott Stapp from Creed, JoJo from K-Ci and JoJo and Ghostface Killah for instance). But half of the so called celebrities were people from previous reality-shows like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Teen Mom and Jersey Shore that weren't even that famous when those shows were on and most even forgot existed when they appeared on this show.
Creed Live was shot with 239 high definition cameras. Recorded September 25th, 2009, at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston, Texas. 17,000 screaming fans attended.

The original Creed band members deliver a stellar performance after almost a decade in hiatus.
A Latina working in Los Angeles as a messenger is randomly discovered and fashioned into a pop music star.
If Nirvana's Nevermind heralded alternative's ascendancy into the mainstream, Creed's mega-successful 1997 debut showed just how quickly--and craftily--alt.rock's musical hallmarks could be utterly co-opted by it. Fueled by vocalist Scott Stapp's Weiland-inspired growl, Creed rode the Seattle pop-suffused string of hits included here to become one of the 90's most successful rock acts--if one whose level of critical revile nearly matched its multi-million sales. This CD/DVD combo features 13 of the band's signature performances (including all eight of its number one singles), songs that often turn on a Christianity-inspired message that could be as opaque (the anthemic "Higher") as it was overt ("My Own Prison," "What's This Life For"). The accompanying DVD completes the career retrospective, anthologizing nine of the band's videos along with previously unreleased live performances of "Torn," "Higher" and "Weathered." --Jerry McCulley
