Can someone help me identify this version of "when it's time"?

[MattRTGB]

some backstory:

Jean Repetto (from what I've gathered, now known as Jeana Repetto) was fifteen (https://www.discogs.com/artist/689398-Fifteen) drummer in 1989 and later, guitarist during their reunion in 1997 (She appears on Lucky https://www.discogs.com/master/413748-Fifteen-Lucky).

I'm pretty sure that she lived/lives in the bay area and did some classical/jazz stuff too in the early 2000s.

And she was also from East Bay Mud (https://www.discogs.com/artist/414855-East-Bay-Mud) 

Back to the song...

I really never heard this version and the title says "portastudio 424",a 4-track recorder, perhaps the same billie used for the demos?

Please help me! And let me know if I found something new, maybe? Thanks

Also I've never seen neither this photo nor billie with a brush cut lol

I knew another WIT version was recorded during Dookie days l, so it must be it.

Nope, this is yet another 😂

Omg so this makes what — six versions of WIT we have now?

Really makes you wonder how did it took them almost 20 years to finally record and release the damn song.

Right? People talk about Good Riddance waiting around for the right release but this song has to win the award for the longest wait and most number of false starts - 1992-2010

[MattRTGB]

so this is a 4 track demo from dookie era?

[jengd]

Love the harmonies on this version.

@Todd What do you think? Do you have any more info on this version? 😁 Someone should get in touch with her maybe she has a master copy?

That version might have been before 1992 because the versions in 1992 are fast-paced. Let me know if I'm wrong.  

Scroll down to number 21 on the list to listen to When It's Time live 1992.

The thing is that it was recorded several times but as production goes on it always end up back in pool. It was demoed in Dookie days. Cavallo liked it but it didn't have a space into the record. Tried again in Nimrod, they went for Good Riddance, probably they tried it for Warning but they chose Macy's Day Parade.

The song easily have like 5 versions floating around in their archives. Probably it happened to a lot of songs. Is not easy

Scratch that @MattRTGB,  I found it! Scroll down until you see ‘When It’s Time’ Demo (1992?). I knew it was some time 1992 😄.

https://greenday.fm/audio/demos/

Info: This previously unknown acoustic demo was surfaced by Jean Repetto in 2024 and likely dates back to 1992 when Billie Joe would frequently record demos on a 4-track. 

You can hit the cloud button with an arrow next to the song to download it.

Now you reminded me of Billie Joe also performing the song during American Idiot sessions.
