Pop-O-Pies - Demos 1981 + Transfer, Los Angeles 3-21-85

The demos is 4 different versions of the song Truckin'. I think the last one is a live version. On track 4 the DJ and the band play a tape a record and talk all at the same time so it's not easy to decipher what's going on. I also don't know if any of these versions is the one from the record. It's from a radio broadcast and has excellent sound quality. The live show was recorded from the audience and has good sound quality. Can anyone fill in the song titles?

  1. Demo Track 1 is from The White EP
    Demo Track 2 is a live medley - starts with "Catholics Are Attacking" and goes into two full versions of "Truckin" back-to-back.
    Demo Track 4 is the band interviewed on a radio show while they play The White EP AND the original Grateful Dead version of Truckin' underneath in an incomprehensible mess.
    Demo Track 5 is another live version.
