The Chain….its a shame

[DownOnRodeo]

Someone must have the bootleg mp3s lying around.

I've lost them in changing computers over the years, but I used to have at least two tracks of about 7 minutes each, ripped right from the studio where they were playing around with the track in its very early stages. My favorite part was when it's just Lindsey and his guitar playing the verse music, and you can tell everyone likes it. Then you have Stevie singing that dreadful "Write me a love song" lyric over Lindsey's guitar, and you can tell even she doesn't like how it sounds. Then Lindsey comes in with his lyric, singing Listen to the wind blow... and you can tell everyone loves it. The rest of that track is endless iterations of that part with differing attempts at harmonies.

The conspiracy theorist in me tells me Irving and Team Stevie had them buried on Youtube etc because they take the air out of the recent myth that it was Stevie's song.
