Agreed, a great version, but like all these DVD's etc overdubbing gives a false sense of the performance. Talking about ovedubs, if you consider how many live albums they've done and dvds it rare that you hear anone talking of them going back into the studio to record the overdubs. I think I'v just about read most Stones related books and I can't remember ever reading anything about doing overdubs. Now is this simply cos it's just so boring they don't think it worth a mention, or they have an unwritten rule that they don't mention overdubbing, or that they don't do them and session players do them...I bet one of you either has the answer or a strong opinion on it!

Yeah, I konw this collection has problems - especially "Rocks Off" - but "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" is brilliant. Just one man's opinion. A few other gems mixed in there too.

I agree that the LL does not include one of the best takes of Knocking, that Pierre's overdub is somehow disturbing (and not necessary), I also think that if I am available to play congas on the next Stones tour for free - it can't be too difficoult to find a percussionist in flesh and bones to do the job instead of sampled sounds, THAT SAID, during the licks tour Knocking was at least decent on bad nights excellent most of the times.C

Not really the sort of thing that would be discussed in too many books, but its well enough documented and proven that almost every Stones live album (as well as the Biggest Bang DVD box set) contain substantial overdubbing as well as a lot of editing.

My issue is the obviously dubbed in second guitar during the verses. Listen to the Wiltern audience recording and you'll hear Ronnie playing something different. The second guitar here sounds (to me anyway) like it's also in open G, and I doubt it is Ronnie - or Keith for that matter. My guess it is Pierre doing an overdub, countering Keith's live riffs.

Got Live (well, live), Ya Ya's, Love You Live and Still Life are edited, but as far as known there's no substantial overdubbing except for the lead vocals. Flashpoint is the first live album with substantial overdubbing, and live material from 2000 on are overdubbed by other guitarists than Wood and Richards.
