*FIRST TIME LISTENING* ROLLING STONES - CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING (REACTION!!!)

I’ve heard this song at least hundreds of times, and I almost always hear something new. So much going on at such a high level. Masterpiece.

Perhaps THE greatest jam of all time. And, yes, a jam. The song ended. The band didn't. They kept going.

When you consider that the jam at the end is live improv.....just mind blowing. Especially the greatest rock sax man of them all, Bobby Keys doing his thing.

This album turns 50 on April 23. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, and Goatshead Soup. That's a run of five studio albums that is hard to top.

This rabbit hole runs deep. Keep digging brother, you're just scraping the surface.

Stones are great "gimme shelter", "sympathy for the devil", "miss you", "waiting on a friend" so many others

From the 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Recorded in London, spring of 1970 Mick Jagger - vocals Keith Richards - Rhythm/Lead guitar Mick Taylor - Lead/Rhythm guitar Bill Wyman - Bass guitar Charlie Watts - Drums featuring: Bobby Keys - Sax Billy Preston - Organ/Keys Rocky Dijon - Congas Jimmy Miller - additional percussions In interviews, Mick Taylor and Keith Richards described the last half jam was exactly that, a Jam Session. The Tape was still rolling because the song was suppose to fade out but Taylor kept going and by accident it became a thing after other musicians picked up their instruments again and joined back in, all while the tape was still recording. The Jam was an unplanned continuation of the actual song and all done in One Take. Keep in mind, the Stones are the original bad boys of Rock that started in 1962 and part of the British Invasion along with the Beatles. They are longest running band in history still recording and touring today. Covid cut their 2020 US tour short but plans to continue when things open up more.  The Rolling Stones are true pioneers of modern Rock & Roll

Mick Taylor is definitely one of the most underrated Guitarists of all time ever.

Keith Richards said the song was supposed to end after the first part, but the tape was still rolling, and Bobby Keys (saxophone) kept playing, so they let it play out. An accident like that only happens with great players who are fearless and know each other & their instruments well.

Any song Mick Taylor plays on is awesome. He elevated the band to greatness.

This song came out when I was in junior high...The best teacher I ever had was my math teacher Mr. Lee, a hard @ss Asian who would NOT tolerate not learning. Once a week he would play classic music and give us time to do assignments. I talked him into letting me bring in a song and this was the one I picked. Mr. Lee was impressed.

Rolling Stones gave all their props to the original Blues artists that inspired them to play the style that they developed. They are iconic and always kept it fresh.

It is songs like this that show why the Stones have been as big and popular as they are for as long as they have.

The great thing is that the second half of the song is just a spontaneous jam session. They just left the tape running.

There's a man who appreciates great music

This is one of my favorite songs from the era when Mick Taylor was on lead guitar. Wild Horses from the same album is another banger.

The Stones rarely disappoint, but this period, bet. '69 to '74, with Mick Taylor on lead guitar is hands down their best period..And, in particular, this song!..It's my favorite Stones song...I have been listening to this song for 50 years, and it is still as fresh today, as it was the very first time I heard it..It doesn't have the ability to age.

Filthy was the exact right word. Love to you Jay Rah.

Nobody, but has laid down the quantity and quality of filthy grooves that the Stones have. If you like those filthy grooves, may I suggest Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, Tumblin Dice, Midnight Rambler, Slave, Sister Morphine, Melody and It's Only Rock and Roll(but I like it) just to name a few.

This entire album is awesome
