> Enjoyable celebration of New York City’s jam-band haven.

The defunct New York City rock nightclub Wetlands Preserve is memorialized in this pleasant, informal documentary. Although the club presented musical acts from different genres during its 12-year lifespan, it was best known as a jam-band showcase where various acts that went on to mainstream success (Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler) plied their trade in epic-length shows. The film also focuses at length on the club’s environmentally conscious aspect, from its activist center to the use of green materials (including marijuana) on the premises.

Shelf Talk: The film premieres theatrically in New York and Los Angeles in March, so jam-band fanatics will be aware that it contains rare audio and interviews with seminal figures on the scene, including The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and Dave Matthews. The environmental-activism theme also is timely and provides a socially conscious reason to rock out.

Documentary, color, NR (drug use), 96 min., DVD $24.95
Extras: concert footage, outtakes
Director: Dean Budnick
First Run: L, March 2008, NA
