Keith Richards And The X-Pensive Winos - Live At The Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988

Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988 is a live album by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, originally released in December 1991 via Virgin Records.

"The house lights are still up, stage lights down, as musicians stroll through the shadows, taking a seat on the drum riser or dropping to the floor in a circle. There is chatting and laughter amid drinks and smokes. Then a single, white spotlight hits the leader from behind: Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, now on his feet, assuming the position as he fires up the first riff of the night, the clanging-guitar call to jubilant disorder in 'Take It So Hard.'" — From the all-new essay, "The Loosest Tight Band You Ever Heard" by renowned rock writer David Fricke. Featured exclusively in the reissue of Keith Richards & The X-Pensive Winos Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988.

The restoration and reissuing of the storied solo catalogue from Rolling Stone Keith Richards continues with this set featuring the solo hit “Take It So Hard”, Richards-led Stones classic “Happy” and previously unreleased performances of “You Don't Move Me”, “Little T&A” and the Lennon/McCartney penned “I Wanna Be Your Man”.

Recorded during the brief American tour, the only leg of the shows, in support of Talk Is Cheap in late 1988, Richards is supported by a set of musicians and friends dubbed "The X-Pensive Winos". The Winos included Richards, Waddy Wachtel, Steve Jordan, Charley Drayton, Ivan Neville, and Sarah Dash. Long-time Rolling Stones contributor Bobby Keys also plays saxophone.

This double album 2LP record set is a limited edition 2020 reissue on 180 gram red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and remastered audio, pressed in Europe via Mindless Records and BMG.
