    Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988 is a

    Rolling Stones contributor Bobby Keys
    also plays saxophone.

    At the end of the opening song that the Palladium's "a stage I've been thrown off many times"; Richards was referring to Chuck Berry's concert there on January 21, 1972, when he tried to perform with his idol, but was purportedly kicked off for playing too loudly, though Berry later claimed he had not recognized Richards.[3]

    Richards' set during the tour was composed primarily of material from his solo debut album – he played nine of the eleven songs from the record – and also included many of his Rolling Stones lead vocal appearances, with "Too Rude", "

    Little T&A
    " turned up on bootlegs such as L.A. Connection.

    Live at the Hollywood Palladium, December 15, 1988 was recorded, videotaped, and ultimately released as an album at the suggestion of Jane Rose, Richards tenured manager. Officially credited as executive producer, she encouraged Richards to consider the official release after showing the reluctant star bootlegs of inferior audio quality.[4] The album released in North America during the Christmas season, in the wake of the Stones live album Flashpoint, and before the recording of Richards' solo album Main Offender.
