KEITH RICHARDS
and The X-pensive Winos
The 1992 European shows
27th November – 18th December 1992


This is a series dedicated to Keith Richards’ shows with The X-pensive Winos in Europe.
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.

For this shows we had 3 versions:
- nzb’s version is lossless but runs too slow (it had to be accelerated by +4%)
- “Paris 92” (DP 9307) has the correct speed, is lossless but very hissy
- “Vive La France” is hissy and lossy
I kept DP 9307 and used a treble reduction (-6%) to upgrade the listening pleasure.
I amplified the sound of some parts by 2% (first 2 minutes of “Hate I When You Leave” and the start of “Before They Make Me Run”).
I equalized the channels (+10 to +25% for the left channel).
I reworked the transitions: now the tracks start with the song.
I deleted a little gap at the end of “Wicked As It Seems”.
Note fade in/out before “Happy” and “Connection” (encore break).

As usual all the infos are taken from The Complete Works Of The Rolling Stones database by Nico Zentgraf: http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm
