American Idiot cast "Good Riddance"

Not sure if this was posted before, but if it was I missed it! Apparently, the OBC of American Idiot actually did record a studio bonus track of "Good Riddance" and it just wasn't included on the CD. Center Theatre Group posted it on their soundcloud a few months ago, but I'm not 100% sure it's the OBC. Can anyone confirm?

It's either the cast from the OBC or a good group of college kids or another cast. It's a great recording regardless.

It is indeed the version of the song that was cut from the OBCR.

It is the OBC. And yeah, it was suppose to be on the cast recording. There's actual an earlier mock-up of the track list that had it but I guess, since they wanted Green Day fans to buy the CD, they put Billie's version of "When It's Time."

I actually prefer the live versions that they put on the official website about midway through the run. I downloaded so many of those. The studio recorded version just seems a little... dead... heh.

I don't know- I like the studio version, maybe just because the sound quality is better and I like picking out the individual harmony parts and individual guitar lines.

Apparently this track was released as a free download for a while on one of the Green Day sites... did anyone snag it?
