The Rolling Stones

The live recording of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," captured in 1971, coincides with a pivotal moment in The Rolling Stones' career as they transitioned into a new musical phase characterized by greater artistic maturity. This performance was part of the promotion for their album "Sticky Fingers," which was released on April 23, 1971, shortly after the recording sessions in March and May 1970. "Sticky Fingers" marked the band's first album released under their own label, Rolling Stones Records, and featured iconic tracks that showcased their evolving sound, blending rock with elements of country and blues. The album's cover art, designed by Andy Warhol, became legendary in its own right. Notably, this period solidified Mick Taylor's role as a key member, contributing to the band’s dynamic sound, highlighted during live performances like this one, showcasing the raw energy and complexity that defined their early 1970s output.
