This is Dave's original pre band four song demo tape. This is what he gave Carter and the boys to get them to play with him.

This is before Boyd was in the band. Boyd was asked to join for the 3/91 demo to play on Tripping Billies and joined the band shortly after.

Notes: This is the order in which the songs appeared on the Original Demo. All songs featured Dave, Greg Howard, John D'Earth, and Kenneth Davis. There are no known copies of any of these performances in circulation. Dave, with this same crew, also recorded a demo in 1-2/92, repeating STJL and Recently. Both of those songs appear on the old tape/CD labeled 1990-93 demos, and Recently cuts in on Sympathy For The Devil on the alleged 8/21/91 tape/CD. This is commonly called the Nov, 90 demo, but recording actually began in October.
