Also the fires started during the RHCP set. They asked the Red Hot Chili Peppers before their encore to ask the fans to stop setting fires. Not only did they tell the promoters to **** off they played Jimi Hendricks “Fire” song as an encore to be more in the face of the promoters for daring to ask them to calm things down.
There is being against the man. Being a rebel etc. and then there is deliberately making the violence worse among your own fans on purpose.

That's some bullshit if that's how RHCP were portrayed in the doc.
They told Janie Hendrix that they would play "Fire" as a tribute to Jimi, who, iirc, may have been an iconic performer at the original Woodstock, or something. I remember grampa telling me about Jimi playing the national anthem in a very orthodox and respectful way.
They had obviously planned it, because for the encore break they ALL went and dressed up as Jimi, replete with white fringe leather jackets and headbands, so it wasn't like they decided to play "Fire" at the last second to thumb their noses at anyone.
Sometimes, things have simple explanation if anyone cares to look.
Will quote Eminem here though when I post "mother**** a limp bizkit."
