Rescheduled from 3.27.91. Mentioned in the 3/27/91 issue of the Cavalier Daily.

These two songs have circulated in the community since the early days of the band on a tape/disc called Granny's Basement which also included various studio and demo performances. The start of IBYU on the previous source includes Dave speak that suggests that it is the first performed song of the set. Before Redemption Song, Dave mentions he'll do a "Bob Marley tune... alone" suggesting the band would perform with him afterwards.

In 2023, cassettes of the 7.27.95 performance surfaced including better quality versions of these two songs with the date 4.3.91 as their performance date. After these songs, two of the studio performances are separately notated in the filler with completely different dates.

Considering the entire filler is in a completely different order than the Granny's Basement mix, it's quite possible that these songs did come from 4.3.91 and the confusion about the Granny's Basement source and the reference to that date began with the source of this filler. We may never know without a more complete recording or a master tape with this music surfacing. For now, we're putting these songs here on this date.
