NOTE: Here is the running order of the original broadcast. If the tracks from this torrent and the other torrent (from the Coastal Stage) are placed in this order, you will have the complete live broadcast (minus some commercial recordings and DJ yakking between sets).

In many cases there was only a few seconds between the end of one set and the beginning of another, so the "radio outro" of one set often will literally segue directly into the "radio intro" of the next one listed (below).

NOTE: All of the sets broadcast from the other stage (Coastal) suffer from dropouts (generally a half to one second in duration) that were inherent in both WWOZ's FM broadcast and the station's live mp3 stream. The problems apparently stemmed from interference that degrades the wireless signal between that stage and the broadcast truck, as this stage (Wetlands) does not suffer from the same dropouts.

The recordings from this stage DO NOT appear to be affected by any dropouts.
