Keith Richards & The X-Pensive Winos : Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988



YOU'RE GIVING UP LOVIN'

EASY TO DO

PEOPLE SO PITYFUL

THEY NEVER COME THROUGH

HONEY, HONEY, HONEY

I AIN'T THAT WAY



 Live at the Hollywood Palladium, 

December 15, 1988

 is a live album by

 Keith Richards 

released on 

December,10th 1991

 in the United States

 and February,24th 1992

 in the United Kingdom. 

Recorded during

 a brief American tour

 in support of 

Richards debut

 solo album

 Talk Is Cheap

 in late 1988, 

Richards is supported by 

a set of musicians 

and friends dubbed

 "The X-Pensive Winos". 

The Winos included 

Waddy Wachtel, 

Steve Jordan, 

Charley Drayton,

 Ivan Neville

and 

Sarah Dash.

 Longtime

 Rolling Stones 

contributor 

Bobby Keys 

also plays

 saxophone.

At the end of the opening song,

 Richards says

 that the Palladium is

 "a stage I've been

 thrown off many times"; 

he was referring to 

Chuck Berry's concert there 

on 

January 21, 1972, 

when Richards

 tried to perform 

with his idol,

 but was purportedly

 kicked off for 

playing too loudly,

 though Berry

 later claimed he had

 not recognized Richards.

Richards' set 

during the tour 

was composed 

primarily of material 

from his solo debut album

  he played nine

 of the eleven songs

 from the record 

 and also included many 

of his 

Rolling Stones

 lead vocal appearances,

 with 

"Too Rude", 

"Happy", 

and

 "Connection",

 along with

 "Time Is on My Side"

 featuring

 Sarah Dash

 on lead vocals. 

"Before They Make Me Run" 

and 

"Little T&A"

 turned up on 

bootlegs such as

 L.A. Connection.

Live at the Hollywood Palladium, 

December 15, 1988

 was recorded, 

videotaped, 

and ultimately released

 as an album 

at the suggestion of

 Jane Rose,

 Richards tenured manager. 

Officially credited as

 executive producer, 

she encouraged Richards

 to consider the

 official release 

after showing the 

reluctant star bootlegs 

of inferior audio quality. 

The album was 

released in 

North America

 during the Christmas season, 

in the wake of the Stones

 live album

 Flashpoint

and before

 the recording of 

Richards' second

 solo studio album, 

Main Offender.
