Dr. Lo Faber, guitarist and founder of God Street Wine, has shared footage of the band's February 1992 show at Wetlands Preserve in New York City. While the show is not complete, it features over an hour of archival footage.
"A time capsule from an era before the Internet, before cell phones, when bands played live and all the people did was listen, dance, and talk to each other," Faber wrote in the video's description. "February 1992, the FIRST George Bush was still president, the Cold War had just ended, and God Street Wine was just starting to break out of being an unknown bar band and becoming a talked-about new act in the up and coming jamband scene.
"It's also a great depiction of the venue, the Wetlands Preserve, which was an epicenter of both hippie-friendly music and environmental activism throughout the 1990s," he continued. "It was a great place both to play and to hang out and this video captures a teency bit of the flavor of the scene there."
Faber elaborated on the content of the video and on the guests present. "The video is not the complete show, it captures GSW playing 9 songs, some partial, most complete, and highlights include Aaron's Dad, Hal Lieberman, sitting in on trumpet for 'Sweet Little Angel' and 'Electrocute,' and rapper Ainsworth sitting in for 'When She Go' to close out the night."
