Set 3
CommentMany of the tracks on this demo seem to be the same versions as on the "Rutabaga" demo, which in turn match up with the three demo tacks on the '94 radio sampler entitled "Dave Matthews Band." On the sampler, the band lists the tracks as being from a '91 Quad Studios demo. This leads me to believe that much of the "Rutabaga" demo is actually from these Quad sessions. The last several tracks on this disc seem to be filler from other studio sessions.

The recording level from the tape was a bit high, causing some mild distortion at the loudest points of the music. If anyone has a cleaner copy for conversion, please let me know.

Note: Exact date is not know (12.??.91)

Recorded and mixed by Bruce Miller, this is most likely Dave's original demo tape, although no proof of that is given. Well known as "Rutebega Studios" and even assigned a date, the only thing known about this tape is that it was most likely recorded over a period of weeks in 1991. The myth of "Rutebega Studios" has been proven wrong by nancies.org's famed "Waldo" and the early Dave Matthews Band Promo (given out to radio stations and fans).
