Source:   Sony ECM-909a > WM-D3 by Rob Robles
Transfer: MC (XLII-90) > Nak Dragon > Tascam DA-3000 (DSF 1-bit/5.6 MHz) > Tascam HRE > PCM @ 2496
Master:   Wavelab 11 (tracking, levels, cross-fade tape flips, DDI Codec (Dolby B / -27.2 dBFS), remove DC offset, resample, Lin dither) > FLAC 1644

Thanks to Rob Robles for the cassettes and to the LL community for mulling over the title of track 6.

01. Dedication to Bill Graham
02. Fever
03. banter
04. You Can Leave Your Hat On
05. banter
06. My Funny Valentine
07. Finders Keepers
08. Dynamite
09. Wonderin' Why
10. Hi-Heeled Sneakers *
11. The Harder They Come
12. banter
13. Blues For The Rainforest
14. The System
15. banter

Encore:
16. Resurrection Rag
17. Sugaree

* w/ Bob on sax

This was, according to Merl, the last night of the 1991 East Coast tour.  Perhaps that's why he says "merry Christmas and Happy New Year" right at the end of the encore, even though it's still early November at Wetlands.  Either that, or the cassettes were seriously misdated, but there's no obvious candidate for a different date.

Enjoy!
