That WOULD make more sense with Alec being there I guess then.

I've not listened to it that carefully yet (The entire download is at least 11 hours long). Jon does know how the full song goes though, he's pretty much guiding them through the song, so no, they're not writing it there. They're just working on the live arrangement of the song as it's slightly different from the studio version, and with them having recorded roughly 40 songs for Keep The Faith it's not surprising they can't remember one or two.
Judging from the way Alec plays Keep The Faith live during the rehearsals and the way the song sounds on the album I reckon it's Huey playing the bassline on the studio version. Alec is skipping notes all over the song. It wouldn't surprise me if Alec wasn't there most of the time while recording the album and its respective outtakes, thus not knowing Fields Of Fire either. Jon snaps a few times at Alec during the rehearsals as well.
Salaam Aleikum,
