KEITH RICHARDS
and The X-Pensive Winos
The 1988 US shows
24th November – 17th December 1988

This is a series dedicated to Keith Richards’ shows with The X-pensive Winos in the US in 1988.
A big thank you to all the people who recorded these shows and who shared them and to my two accomplices nzb and Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave me the benefit of their versions of these shows and their advice and support ... and therefore without whom this project would not have been possible.

For this show, we had three sources:
Source #1: nzb's and mine (‘Boston You’re Big Enough) are identical and incomplete (‘You Don’t Move Me’ and the last two tracks are missing).
Source #2: ‘Keef Riff Hard’ (Zero Records - ZR CD 202-2) contains only 3 tracks from this show.
Source #3 is containing an mp3 version of our source but with the 3 missing tracks in lossless quality.

I decided to do a mix from these 3 sources to get the complete show with the best possible sound.
Source #2 was the best sounding one but had only 3 tracks, it’s also my reference for the speed. The other tracks are coming from source #1 with exception for ‘You Don’t Move Me’ plus the last two tracks which are coming from source #3.
My reworking was:
Source #1: sound amplification, channel equilibration (+20 to +30% for the right channel), speed had to be decelerated by -2,44%, a little more bass and treble slightly reduced.
Source #2: a little sound amplification.
Source #3: I equilibrated the channels (+5% to the left channel) and deleted microgaps between the tracks.

Our versions complemented each other and so for the first time we have a complete recording of this show!
