The Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking (Alternate Version)

I’ll never forget trying to learn this on guitar-I was so blown away by All guitar parts like some musicians - but the meat on this bone its biggest burst at beginning- what a thing to hear as a 15 year old who’d just gotten his first electric guitar 🎸! Never learned it perfectly- he’s winging a riff in progress- the next take maybe sounds even different from these two- if we had version.’ Dylan released the progress of writing a song-‘and he always did it different. Bet they did too - well, I mean KEITH did-

[@peter22564]

One of the greatest rock n roll riffs ever made

Hearing this is like meeting a long lost old friend you haven't heard from in years.Wonderful.

[@danb8891]

The Stones at their best...Mick, Keith, Mick T, Bill & Charlie jamming on a pre-elaborate song in a perfect musical symbiosis.

[@zippy6667]

This is quintessential Rolling Stones - gritty, absolute perfected rock n roll; no wonder this song turned out to be the iconic lick it's know as. Incredible!

[@danielnoonan128]

I feel that both versions can stand on each's merit. Both are quite different with the original being more polished and finished product. The guitar solo toward the second half is the Rolling Stones rock n roll at it's best with Keith and Mick T. jamming away in a free style of solos full of hot licks and riffs. Wow. Great to hear the raw, uncut natural talent flow of the Stones circa 1970-71.

[@kurtcer]

Yeah...two different songs..both great..I prefer this but I like it raw

[@jgwire]

I agree- i was comparing different versions- which for me is impossible- this is another song, in a weird way- even tho it’s not- listening like that makes more sense- I could be wrong- but that sounds like a well recorded version of how hard they worked to finally produce the original song’s organized production- they seem organic- plus they hard all the time they wanted in the best studios Surrounded by the best producers- so that helped…this almost sounds like practice and working to Find the song- they didn’t have the record Version yet-im guessing Of course

[@mfnd502]

Far superior version.

[@dilshadsadiq3348]

One of my favorite tracks. MJ along with The guitar playing for Keith Richards and Mick T and the drumming combination of Charlie’s Watts is an absolute treat. Rock n Roll is hard to beat especially when the Stones are performing. Love these guys to bits, you are truly a legendary band.

[@joaquincasamayor3304]

possibly the greatest rock and roll song of all times!

[@muckey7800]

That solo in the middle crushed it. 🤙

[@ptownscribe1254]

Keith! Funny that the released version is lauded for Mick Taylor's solo in the second section, when it was originally Keith in the first.

[@muckey7800]

​@ptownscribe1254 I know. Kieth is the definition of gritty guitar both om lead and rhythm. Always loved it

'Working take' is what it is. This band has pretty much always gone from a riff to a song - taking days, weeks sometimes years to finish. Heard here is part of what takes place between conception and the final studio cut for the Record. Vocals would typically evolve the slowest, with Jagger humming and/or mumbling thru parts of the developing tune.

[@ozozerene]

Kieth just said, "...there's something menacing about the note intervals in the way he tunes his guitar in open G. Hit the strings at the right way at the right time...you got cheap trip to heaven!

This version has Keith soloing on the end. MT does an accompanyment type solo at the begining. He switched to straight rhythm/chords for the chorus section till the end (the G - F - C - G part). Put headphones on and listen and you'll hear the differentiation between MTand Kieth.

Aside from rhythm guitar on every album from '69 to '74, I did some wikipediaing for ya, and here's all the extra stuff he did, again, other than rhythm guitar. lead guitar on Sway, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile slide guitar on "Sway" and "You Gotta Move" slide guitar; bass guitar on "Tumbling Dice", "Torn and Frayed", "I Just Want to See His Face" and "Shine a Light" electric, acoustic and slide guitar, backing vocals, bass guitar on "Dancing with Mr. D" and "Coming Down Again"

Mi tema favorito del disco, es una sorpresa que haya otra versión. Es muy buena pero, obviamente no podrá superar ni la fuerza ni el mito de la original. My favorite song from the album, what a surprise that there is another version. Very nice but, obviously, it can't beat the power and the "mith" of the original.

[@somamusika]

More than an alternative version sounds like an early rehearsal.

[@cliffmcginnis3231]

I actually prefer this version to the original. I know a lot of people like the long jazz section, but I've always found it a bit drawn out and it kind of alters the tempo and flow of the song. This keeps it in character, if that makes sense.

[@sh0tgUn_sYko]

Stephan Arminski I've always hated that fucking jazz part, such a different tempo, just searched "Can't you hear me knocking without jazz part" and ended up here.

[@JSTX9216]

I hate this version but I hate that stupid jazz shit in the other one more, such an epic song and that part ruins it just like the 10 minuets of drums on Moby Dick. Zeppelin had an epic riff for that and spoiled its potential with a drum solo nobody wanted to hear

Sounds like Keith in both channels to me. If it was MT, he could not have resisted a solo. Moreover, defo sounds like a Fender on the left - with little runs that are classic Keith.

[@bevo1776]

The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID HIM. Mick Taylor was not given credit on SEVERAL albums--- and therefore, no residuals. Also, his mates should have got him all the help they could to combat addiction. They did not...

[@hanson2205]

Yes absolutely

[@Aristipp-ng5fu]

The Mick Taylor Worshippers are a very prominent group on certain websites dealing with The Rolling Stones. Here X is a case in point. They determine what is true or false. Their credo runs as follows: Before the guitarist took up full-time employment with the group, RS had been a bum band. With the advent of Mick Taylor RS were elevated to a high(er) plane. When he terminated his employment, RS became a bum band again. So this credo proves that The Rolling Stones have been a bum band for over 55 years and that it was for five years only that they played tolerably well, which fills the Mick Taylor Worshipper with intense delight.

[@ptownscribe1254]

@@Aristipp-ng5fu Nailed it. Taylor cult is bizarre.

[@ptownscribe1254]

Odd comment when this version of this song is clearly dominated by Keith, who plays one of his best solos. Actually, the main part of the released version also is dominated by Keith, and Taylor plays rhythm in the other channel. MT's solo in the second section is beautiful, of course.
