KEITH RICHARDS ROCKS NYC FOR CHARITY
Keith Richards reunited with his solo band the X-Pensive Winos on Thursday night (March 10th) at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre to play a three-song set at the “Love Rocks” charity concert. Richards was backed by longtime right-hand man — and now the Rolling Stones' drummer — Steve Jordan, keyboardist Ivan Neville, guitarist Waddy Wachtel, and bassist Will Lee subbing for an absent Charley Drayton who now tours with Bob Dylan.
Richards and the band performed three songs — “999” — the opening neumber to Richards' and the Winos' 1992 Main Offender album, which will be reissued on March 18th, and such Stones standards as Let It Bleed's “You Got The Silver” and Some Girls' “Before They Make Me Run.”
