I can't give a first hand account of either, but yes Woodstock '99 was generally considered much more violent than the original, which was expressed in various ways: vandalism/looting, setting fires, rapes.

Maybe the original festival had some similar instances but the intensity and frequency of them was considered much greater in '99.

This is a great documentary if you want to see video footage of just how much of a disaster it was.

I remember hearing about Woodstock 99 in the news during that time. That there were "problems". That documentary was pretty shocking. I hadn't realized it was that bad / chaotic.
