Live At The Hollywood Palladium – Keith Richards And The… – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Captured one electric night in December 1988, ‘Live at the Hollywood Palladium’ is much more than a solo detour for Keith Richards—it’s a full-throttle celebration of rock’s enduring grit and groove. Backed by his handpicked band, the X-Pensive Winos, Richards leads with swagger and warmth, delivering Stones favorites alongside his own gems with a looseness and joy rarely heard on studio takes. The chemistry among the Winos is palpable, from Steve Jordan’s thunderous drumming to Ivan Neville’s soulful keys, creating a communal, almost familial vibe that crackles throughout the set.

This album stands as a testament to Richards’ singular vision outside of the Rolling Stones: raw, unvarnished, and deeply rooted in the tradition of rock and rhythm & blues. The live setting breathes new life into classics like ‘Happy’ and ‘Take It So Hard,’ while deeper cuts reveal the depth of Richards’ songwriting and the band’s musical telepathy. For vinyl enthusiasts and rock devotees, this record is a vital document of an icon stretching his wings, reveling in the freedom of the stage. It’s a snapshot of a night when the spirit of rock was alive and gloriously untamed.
