Comment 
The Mermen played one three hour set. The Beach Chalet had an New Year's Eve package costing $100 per couple. 
The package included a sit down dinner, dessert and champagne toast. About 10:30 the Mermen began and played 
and didn't stop until 1:30 or 1:45am 

flaws
d2t14 ~ 3:16 brief drop out removed
d3t1 ~ 9:04 diginoise, unrepairable
d3t6 ~ 3:07 gap with some audio lost
d3t12 ~ 6:22 mics bumped
the left channel looks to be clipped/limited occasionally though I didn't hear any impact from this
