Next up for me after Bobfest at MSG, another top 5 or top ten concert of all time took place at the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday, February 23, 1993. I never appreciated the genius of Keith Richards until I saw him play with the X-Pensive Winos. Keith as front man blew the roof off of the Beacon Theatre that night and if memory serves me right, I think I had strep throat but managed to still attend this extraordinary performance. My buddy Eric, the biggest Rolling Stones snd Richards fan, and I had seats in the orchestra to the left of the stage and had the best pure rock and roll time with an ecstatic audience that was into every tune. There is a live album and DVD of another of the Winos gigs, not the New York City, and as luck, and coincidence would have it, Keith Richards & the X-Pensive Winos will reunite on that same Beacon Theatre stage early next month for the Love Rocks We Deliver Benefit that will also include Hozier, Mavis Maples, and Warren Haynes. I was fortunate to grab a pair up top during the presale of the benefit that is now completely sold out and I am completely pumped for this upcoming show.

Talk is Cheap

Rock on!
