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.

Various different versions circulated for this show:
- the version from nzb and me were the same: the first 11 tracks from the 17/12/92 show (see Vol 10).
- another version is ‘Locked Away For Two Days In London’ (Rockin’ Rott - rrr 2002-031),
but a comparison using the stage banter of KR (see excerpt from Olaf Reuthebuch's Words Of Wonder-book in the accompanying doc-file); confirmed without any doubt that only the first five tracks were authentic, the other ones are coming from the Paris 7.12.92-show! So the 2nd part of Rockin’ Rott and ‘Words Of Wonder’ are wrongly dated.
- the good version is ‘Weil du Geburtstag hast’ which contains the first part of the show (11 tracks) and is not coming from another show (I checked them all).
Conclusion is - we have only the first part of this show.

As usual I reworked the transitions: now the tracks start with the song.
The first seconds of “Take It So Hard” are missing. I reworked the amplification and channel equilibration in some parts of this song.
One second in the middle of ‘Too Rude’ has been altered (it sounded very low).
The end of ‘Hate It When You Leave’ is missing too.

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
