KEITH RICHARDS
and The
X-Pensive Winos
7th November 1992 – 24th February 1993
The 1992/93 American shows
This is a series dedicated to Keith Richards’ shows with The X-pensive Winos in the US, Argentina and Canada in late 1992 and early 1993.
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.
Line-up: KR (gtr, voc)/Steve Jordan (dr, bass, bvoc)/Jerome Smith (bass, bvoc)/Ivan Neville (keyb, perc, bvoc)/Waddy Wachtel (gtr, bvoc)/Sarah Dash (voc)/Bobby Keys (sax, perc)/Babi Floyd (bvoc, perc)

For this show our versions were identical - with a low sound, sometimes saturated and incomplete (only the last minute of ‘Something Else’ and the first half of “Take It So Hard” were recorded) and there were also lots of flaws and gaps.

To help me in completing the recording, nzb sent me a video from the show. But sadly, it was also incomplete (“Something Else” and “Take It So Hard” were even shorter than on the audio source!). There were also many flaws like raw intensity variations in the first tracks and the sound was hissy.
I decided to use the audio source as the base and to complete it (when possible) with the video source.
As usual I declicked the sources, reworked the transitions between the tracks and adjusted the speed.
On the audio source I also reworked some sound intensity variations, in particular in “Runnin’ Too Deep” and “Before They Make Me Run” and the advance from the left channel (from 10 to 30 milliseconds) is now corrected.

Here are the details from the reworking of the audio source with patches from the video source:
- “Gimme Shelter” the banter was damaged and there were 2 gaps: I used a patch from 6’11 until 6’48.
- “Runnin’ Too Deep” was cut in two parts at 2’58. At 4’09 there was a gap with a 4 seconds sequence repeated: all is now reconnected without consequences.
- A repeated sequence of some seconds is now deleted between “Hate It When You Leave” and “Before They Make Me Run”.
- On “Will But You Wont” there was a 2 seconds gap at 1’16 which is now patched and, after 6’24, several gaps in the banter: now the last 35 seconds come from the video.
- “Words Of Wonder” the first second is patched and a 4 second patch at 5’08 was also necessary.
- “Eileen” I deleted a short gap at 7’09 without consequence.
- on the ‘band intro’, the introduction for Steve Jordan was missing, it is now restored with a patch from 2’12 until 2’37.
- “Whip It Up” was cut in two parts at 2’57… with about 1 minute repeated: all is reconnected now.
- “I Could Have Stood You Up” has a gap at 4’52 completed by a 2 seconds patch.
- in “Happy” a 1,5 second patch in the start of the song had to be patched
Note that the encore break was not recorded in any of the sources.
- on “Take It So Hard”, the first second is missing on both versions and the audio version, which is about one minute longer than the video, is cut at 2’51.

The bonus tracks:
Merging both sources was difficult because of the many flaws from each source but IMHO they come out interesting. Here I selected the best ones as bonuses.

As usual all the infos are coming from Nico Zentgraf's Rolling Stones Complete Works Database: [www.nzentgraf.de]
