That's true. I keep saying that the best Always performances actually came in the late summer/early fall of 1995. This one is the perfect example, as is this (where I can't get tired of posting it since it's so good!):

The first takes are done with Jon, later Richie takes on some lead vocals!

This is awesome! How in the world did you get this? Anymore?

Amen brother! I was lucky enough to see them in Milwaukee on August 11, 1995. While there is no video of that on YouTube, these are close enough to bring back awesome memories. Always in Camden, NJ and at the Jones Beach shows in 1995 also kick ass.

I just finished listening..... listen closely at the exact 15 minute mark to about 15:30. Richie nails it vocally and Jon says 'that's great'. Jon then tries it and falls flat so Richie coaches him through it. Jon don't seem thrilled but does it anyway.

Bty, are you sure this is a live rehersal and not in a studio?

Lets pretend that there are members here who work in the BJ camp and have access to that mysterious vault. And lets also hope they are in the process of going through it now in lieu of another box set.

I don't think it was a member here that has access to the vault but I think some stuff is slowly leaking out. Also I agree with whoever said it's more likely it's a rehearsal studio demo than during Evening With. It'd make no sense for this to be rehearsed then.

EDIT: This is such a huge major find. Also at 9:50 you can clearly hear Alec, almost throwing a wrench into the "Alec never played in the studio" idea. Though you can hear him making some out of key mistakes.

From a file sharing board. It is not the studio rehearsal but it's for the recording of an Evening With. The two days of rehearsal and the two shows have leaked, all in this quality. There's a few other songs out there like this as well that weren't part of the broadcast and you hear them rehearse songs like the Animals medley and Papa Was A Rolling Stone for the first time. Someone has to go out and buy the original record so they all know how the original vocal arrangements are and I think Tico sings partially lead on that as well. Alec makes plenty of mistakes, he can't play the Keep The Faith bass intro and skips notes here and there. It's a great find.
