(2020) Keith Richards & The X-Pensive Winos - Live at the Hollywood Palladium


Review:
Keith Richards’ December 15th, 1988 live recording of the penultimate show from his first U.S. tour with the X-Pensive Winos. The concert was part of a 12-city tour that followed their release of Talk Is Cheap. The X-Pensive Winos included guitarist Waddy Wachtel (Everly Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks), Richards’ long-time collaborator, drummer Steve Jordan, bassist Charley Drayton, Rolling Stones collaborator and keyboard player Ivan Neville, singer Sarah Dash, and longtime Rolling Stones sideman, late saxophonist Bobby Keys. Their live set featured performances of Rolling Stones songs, such as “Happy” and “Connection,” alongside Richards’ solo tracks, including “Take It So Hard” and “Make No Mistake.” The box set and digital releases will house three previously unreleased tracks, “Little T&A,” “You Don’t Move Me” and the Lennon-McCartney penned hit, “I Wanna Be Your Man.” David Fricke’s new essay and interview with Richards, The Loosest Tight Band You’ve Ever Heard, is also included in a hardback book that showcases photos from Richards’ archives. “The real stuff,” Richards said in a statement describing the X-Pensive Winos. “I wish to thank all the guys in this crazy beautiful band. Something to love. I know I do.”
