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.

12 - It Means A lot


This concert is well known by fans because it was officially released.
There are only one tracks missing on the official soundboard version and you will find it as a bonus on this version which is an audience recording.
The original recording of this had a poor quality. It consisted of three parts, with having in the first two parts a very weak, deteriorated or absent right channel. The sound was also very hissy.
For this two first parts I only kept the left channel, duplicated it and then I reduced the hiss and boosted the bass frequencies.
Part 3 started with ‘Struggle’: the right channel was useful but had to be amplified first by 30%, then (after 1’43 min.) it only had to be amplified by +10% for the right channel… until the end of the recording. The channels have also to be rephased.
Then I edited the tracks and checked the speed.
The second part started with big speed variations in ‘Time is On My Side’. Sorry I can't do anything against that, but happily it gets better afterwards.
To be synchronized with the official version the first and second part had to be accelerated by +1,1% and the third part by +0,75%.
