--The band was RD3 - Bob Weir, Rob Wasserman & Jay Lane  

vg NOTES (2025-12-08):  
--I added that this recording is fob as I've heard enough Wetlands recordings (& been there enough times during its run) to distinguish pretty well the difference between something recorded in the taper corral next to the sbd desk & something in front of that...this one totally has the feel of being stealth recorded out in the midst of the crowd as even though it sounds great, you can hear the crowd all around the taper & at the same level of the mics (vs being a little below & in from of the mics if it were done from that infamous corral area, etc.)...additionally, after the encore, one can hear a discussion between the taper & some attendee about where the taper was taping & at one point the attendee says. "...you ever hear of the tapers' section??" - so, there's that clue as well.  In the Wetlands, you were either in the taper section corral or you were fob as the space was short & wide & there was only the back wall of the club behind the corral, etc.  
--regarding t01 ("Jack Straw"), this track only contains 40 seconds of blank space & there was no info about why that is...my assumption here is that this blank space was the 1st 40 seconds of the DAT that tapers would typically record blank space onto in order to get past any potential errors, etc.  I theorize that because the beginning of t02 ("Walkin' Blues") is clipped & abruptly jumps in with the tune already in progress (but before the 1st verse)...this leads me to believe that Dan Greenberg started recording then & that's what was on the DAT that Buzzeo transferred...of course, if "Jack Straw" exists from this recording & I'm wrong about this theory, Dan or Mike please get that 1st tune circulated from this source, please!!  
--Bobby on electric guitar for "Wang Dang Doodle", "Little Red Rooster", "The Other One", "Cassidy"
--while technically being RD3 for this show, the shows were billed on posters as "Bob Weir Rob Wasserman & Friends" & "Bob Weir & Rob Wasserman"  
--this show (& the 3-day run) was "A Benefit For the Federal Land Action Group"  
--this venue sadly no longer exists...it opened on 1989-02-16 (New Potato Caboose performed) & officially closed on 2001-09-11 (Project Logic & an All Star cast played there the night before & there were scheduled shows throughout the rest of this 'closing week', but the world changed on the morning of 2001-09-11 just a few blocks away)...after this official closing, it was able to open for 1 final jam session on 2001-09-29 that included Robert Hunter...the venue became affectionately known by attendees as the "Sweatglands" due to how hot & sweaty it got in the place (nickname credited to John Popper of Blues Traveler)...also known as "The Wetlands" & "Wetlands"
