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.

VOLUME 15:
17th December 1988
- EAST RUTHERFORD -
Brendan Byrne Arena

17th December 1988: KEITH RICHARDS. East Rutherford, New Jersey, Brendan Byrne Arena
Line-up: KR (gtr, voc)/Waddy Wachtel (gtr, bvoc)/Ivan Neville (keyb, bvoc, guitar on Happy, bass on I Could Have Stood You Up)/Charley Drayton (bass, bvoc, dr on Take It So Hard)/Steve Jordan (dr, bvoc, bass on Take It So Hard)/Bobby Keys (sax)/Sarah Dash (bvoc, lvoc on Time Is On My Side and partly on Make No Mistake, perc)
Note: With special guest Johnnie Johnson (p) on I Could Have Stood You Up, Crazy Mixed Up World and Run Rudolph Run.

Lots of versions for this show are circulating and coming IMHO from 4 sources:
* Source #1: is complete and in average quality. The speed is the correct one here.
* Source #2: has a better sound but it’s incomplete.
* source #3: found on ‘Kiff Riff Hard’ (ZRCD 202-2): only two tracks ('I Could Have Stood You Up’ and ‘Run Rudolph Run’) but in very good quality
* source #4 coming from DrGibbles, was originally posted on Dime and can be found on Captain Acid's remastered version (see the ‘info file’ ).

Sources #2 and 4 were used by Captain Acid who posted a very good version of this show (see information in the 'docs' folder).
I decided not to use these sources and the version of Captain Acid will soon be posted to complete my version! The version that I propose to you is complete and corresponds to source #1. I added (as a bonus) tracks from an unusual version of source #2 (including 2 additional incomplete tracks) as well as the 2 tracks that are present in version #3.
With the version of Captain Acid you will therefore have all the sources in circulation.

- Reworking on source #1: the right channel had to be amplified by 15% from ‘Make No Mistake’ until ‘Happy’.
The phase had to be corrected and I reworked the transitions between the tracks that now start with the song. Note a fade in/out between ‘You Don’t Move Me’ and ‘Make No Mistake’ and after ‘Happy’ (encore break) but no music has been lost.
- Reworking on source #2: had to be decelerated by -3,4% and sound was amplified.
- Reworking on source #3: had to be decelerated by -1,7%

As usual all the infos are taken from The Rolling Stones Complete Works Database by Nico Zentgraf: [www.nzentgraf.de]
