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,

What you're saying makes sense but it's still askew. With them promoting the KTF why would they be rehearsing a live version of a song that didn't make the record. The lyrics are slightly different, Jon's saying things like "When you get the melody down" and "When you know the words" etc implying it hasn't been recorded yet. Even the B-section has a different swing to it. Didn't someone say FoF was formally recorded after KTF? Pre-Wedding day post KTF?
Man this sounds like such a cool recording. I forgot how much I used to love this band.
