The largest bell, the Mother Earth Bell, weighs 13 tons. It is rung at the beginning and end of each concert and it takes two people standing inside its maw to swing the giant clapper between them.

There's also Woodstock 99, a mostly dull double CD with live songs by rock-hoppers (Limp Bizkit, Korn) and straight-ahead rockers (Godsmack, Buckcherry) drawn from this summer's controversial concert.
