This Time
 

Can somebody please confirm for me that this song, , is in fact the version of This Time that David Bryan plays on Bon Jovi Rarities 2 recorded live at Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ, on December 21, 1995- which I suspect it is. Thanks in advance.

thats the one, wrote it for curtis stigers

Thanks again. Ya, it was written as a demo for Bon Jovi's debut album, by David, in 1983, and resurfaced as a hit single in 1995 when Curtis Stigers recorded it for his album, Time Was, I believe it was called. Is that correct?
The fact that Jon mentions something about Xmas at the end of the track, lead me to believe that it would have to be the one from December 21, 1995- right around Xmas time; and the fact that he mentions it as having been a hit single by Curtis Stigers that year, at the beginning of the track, did the same as well.

never new it was a early demo. I got in the xmas show cd, think hugh sings "walking the dog "as well

Yeah; check this website:

Under the third listing on the page entitled "Bon Jovi Demos #1 1983", the third track is This Time. As the site says: Runaway (4 different versions)/ Maybe Tomorrow/ This Time/ etc.
