Some kind individual has uploaded the elusive studio version of "When I'm with You" onto YouTube yesterday:



Steve released this single in 1989, in effort to promote The Comeback: All Is Forgiven tour. It seems to be one of the most difficult SH/CR releases to track down, and the studio version of this song has not surfaced anywhere else since.

Same here Matt - I've seen the good feedback the song has received from being performed live, and I have no doubt that the studio version will be something to look forward to.

Thanks for the info Stewart, I didn't realise it was ever performed on TV (always presumed the single to be something of a "low key" release). Perhaps it will appear on YouTube one day. I do enjoy the studio version, but I think the 1989 live recording of the track from Brighton/Northampton is the definitive one.

I love this song and I wish he would play it at his concerts. The only version I've seen is from the "Come Back All is Forgiven" tour. It's a great song and I've always wondered why Steve doesn't ever bring it back in his live shows. :)
