Presence is probably my favorite Zeppelin album. Listening to tea for one would always take me to a different place
The 7th masterpiece album in a row. One more to go. 👑
Begins with a ten minute fast-driving masterpiece, Achilles Last Stand, ends with this, a ten minute, slow burn blues groove masterpiece, and mastery all in between. Insanely great band.
Its not a weaker album, IMO - its an amazing album. But its also far different than any previous LZ album, in that it is not as musically eclectic as prior albums. There is no acoustic, no ballads, not many musical genres represented. Its hard edged, electric, unrelenting, dark. Many songs deal with themes of addition, depression, and disappointment. Robert's lyrics clearly point to bandmates specifically, if you take the time to read and research each line. The album clearly reflects the mental state of the band at this moment in time, which was: frustrated, anxious, angry, addicted. Its almost like an exercise in how to play instruments, at times....but less about narrative/musical structure....sort of musical ADHD. Its not as "accessible" as prior albums because it is so dark....but in the hands of master musicians, it is a masterpiece. Its just a darker masterpiece than what they've done before....and you really have to be in the right frame of mind to sit back and take it all in.
Well said. I concur. A dark masterpiece. I love it.
Tea for one is one of the greatest blues songs I've ever heard!!! It's absolutely a work of art from the GOATS. thank you guys again for your videos and great taste!! Rock on!!¡
Hots on for Nowhere is a top 5 Zepp song for me. Amazing to me it gets no air time or recognition.
I was only into Achilles and Nobody's Fault when I first heard this album, but I appreciate the rest of the tracks a lot more these days.
Presence, just like every other Zeppelin album, is an absolute masterpiece!
Hots On For Nowhere actually did get some airplay, so I think people would recognize it.
Tea for One is masterfully played. I love Bonham’s feel and restraint on this track. Same goes for Jimmy’s playing too
the opening riff of Tea for One is ironically and by far their greatest sonic achievement to my know- nothing ears...
I remember as a kid being very excited by that "typical" opening riff of theirs, and then... oh ok, sloooow
The Tea For One solo by Page encapsulates the emotions the whole band were feeling at the time, at least to me. I love the exhausted feel of this album, the trials and tribulations they all were going through. Plant with his leg injuries, Page sinking deeper into his addiction as well as Bonham. And Jones knowing he had to step up even more (as the next album will show).
Also, when this was released in 1976, I was midway through college, contemplating my future path. Also, what's also interesting is that this LP was released during the disco and punk era, and Zeppelin were accused of being dinosaurs and behind the times. Never for me though, because we wouldn't have really had the direction and feel of the eighties if it wasn't for Zeppelin, again as the next LP will show.
Bonham is great on every album and here he seems to really show some of the most technical sides of his playing infused with such great feel as always. As a drummer, how can you not love this album? Though I love Jones’ contributions outside of his bass playing, Jimmy really carries the whole thing masterfully and I think it’s an album he had to make. Jones more than makes up for it on the next album of course and I hope you continue on eventually. Thanks as always for all the work you guys put in on these reactions!
At this point in their career, it was very frustrating for them. The members of the band were exiled out of England on account of their tremendous financial wealth. Robert recorded this record in a wheelchair! He and his wife were involved in a car accident that nearly ended both of their lives. It was very bad. So, they rehearsed in Malibu, California for this record and then went to Munich in December ‘75 to record it. Also, and unfortunately this was the time where Jim really fell victim to heroin. A couple others were into it too and it wasn’t good. Robert I believe stayed clear of that junk and was becoming more and more frustrated with the shape of the group. By ‘77 it was basically over in my opinion. You never knew if Jimmy would make it through a show as his playing was hit or miss. Bonzo and Jones held it together though, thank heavens! There’s more events from 1977 but I’ll leave it to you guys to research it.
One thing I have to say, lots of comments flying around regarding Zeppelin's evolution from a tight cohesive young band to a band with growing problems, drug addiction, accidents and deaths.... all of which in my opinion (and many others) affected the quality of recordings and performances.... BUT THAN BEING SAID.... Make no mistake they I am forever grateful for EVERY Zeppelin album including Presence and Door and wish there were more!... there are always gems and great moments to be found even if for me the true magic was in earlier years.
we waited months from ordering to delivery with the usual cover artwork issues delaying things. I was still only19 yrs old back then but this album hit me between the eyes and still affects my eyesight when listen to it. Or that might be down to my age now that I'm 66.
I remember standing in line for this album. And when I played it I was just blown away. To this day tea for one still dose it for me
This album makes me feel equally cursed and blessed. On one hand, it’s Jimmy Page firing on more cylinders than actually exist. On the other hand, it’s the last time he sounded this good. I could listen to his work on Tea For One all day long. The tone / ambience is crazy, like you’re right there next to him as he plays.
"Tea for One" is one of Jimmy's finest work! Welcome to "Hard Core", Dev! Let your imagination, run wild! Congrats on 3k!!
Tea For One is, like many a Zep classic, is just unique, taking what could almost be a routine slow blues format into an almost transcendent space by virtue of the command of each instrument demonstrated by each musician, and a wonderfully heavy yet spacious sound. I don't think I've ever heard anything else like it despite it being essentially stylistically an homage to Peter Green...
For many years Presence was my favorite Zeppelin album. Over the years, however, the album hasn't stood up as well as some of the others, specifically Houses of the Holy, Zeppelin IV and Zeppelin III. So, I don't listen to Presence as much as I once did. On the bright side, when I do listen to Presence, it's that much better.
I have heard everything from the GOAT I agree this is a raw great album and Love Love Love Tea for one! 🥰
Hey Hots on for No Where is Zeppelin hip hop and Plant rapping.
Presence is Zep’s best album. Best tracks are hots, tea, for your life, Achilles and nobody’s fault. Page’s guitar work / layered guitars and production is just magical. The Tea For One solo is better than since I’ve been loving you as it’s understated and more original.
I'll take that bet! I had the 8-track back in the day. Pay up.😁
Great reaction, and I think Dev liked Tea for One even though she prefers it fast and hard.
Page claims this is one of his favorite solos. It is a piece of art. Regal blues.
Lol
Presence is a masterpiece
Listening to your take on Led Zeppelin's music is what keeps me coming back for more. Many Thanks.
I think this is Zeppelin's best album!
Page was heavily into H by this time, and someone once told me "Tea For One' reminded him of doing heroin...
i almost never think about this album unless i hear nobody's fault but mine or for your life. and then i remember it and will listen to a few songs afterwards, sort of like an afterthought. and i always keep forgetting about Hots On for Nowhere, always. Tea for One is for when i really have nothing else to do and just want to sit and listen to something and just zone out for a bit. When i first heard Bonzo's Montreux I've always liked it and still like it.
Love it!
Joe Bonamassa is the leading blues guitar artist in the world today. He is phenomenal check him out
There's a documentary called "Dogtown Z-Boys" about skateboarding in the 1970s that uses "Hots On for Nowhere" in an amazing sequence. I was surprised they were able to get the rights.
Hey, if you have the wherewithal to go after a deep cut like that, I say RESPECT.
The end of Hots on for Nowhere reminds me of Hot Dog from their last official album
Hots on for Nowhere, is my favorite track on the album!
call it 5 for the good chat and 5 for how those eyes are poppin! well maybe more like 3/7 lol..
Aw, very appreciated! ❤
Thank you so much! We'll be giving you a shout-out in our next vid. I hope you like Sabbath. Lol
@@MusicforBusyPeople Iommi aint no Page but he is the Dark Lord Eternal of Garage Riffs!
From what I understand this was mostly robert and jpj. Different take from others put still love it. I think jimmy was having issues at that time. Thanks guys for your input.
The next album is Plant and Jones, Presence is definitely Page
@Ledzepnut in through the out door your probably right. Get confused with those two cause there so different. I know it was one of them. That's way I said I think. Thanks for your input
And check out Bonamassa's live version of ZZTop's 'Just Got Paid', when he morphs into 'Dazed and Confused'. Can't link it here, but it is this version:
Joe Bonamassa - Just Got Paid/Dazed & Confused - 4/20/13 BonaVegas - Pearl Concert Theatre
Enjoy the zep stuff.the official knebworth footage is great for Achilles and nobody's fault but mine from presence.are you going to play anything from the one of O2 show from 2007
Yes we will be getting there at some point
Tea For One as a standalone song is amazing. But as a fan who followed their entire history in great detail as it was happening and to this day.....Tea For One, for me, was a disappointment in ways that no other Zep song was. Here's why: One of Jimmy's greatest qualities as a songwriter and guitarist, IMO, was his ability to be a musical chameleon - he could play any musical style, and his solos all sounded different from each other. Dazed and Confused came from the same guy as Rain Song, as Fool In The Rain, as Trampled Underfoot, etc, etc. Unlike guitarists who sound the same from song to song (see: The Edge, for example, or anything AC/DC, etc), Jimmy always wrote songs from different moods and vantage points, and his guitar work was always on-point with the personality of the specific song he was playing on. He would play one style of guitar on one track, and the next song would be completely different. Each song he wrote had its own personality, and each guitar track was faithful to the song it appeared. Why Tea For One disappoints me is because this is truly the first track in the catalog up to this point where Jimmy virtually duplicates the structure of a previous track (Since I've Been Loving You), and even quotes it directly. If you follow his guitar choices in the song and compare it to SIBLY, he takes the counter-point/mirrored approach (where SIBLY goes "up," TFO goes "down"), but the choices are very predictable and obvious. Its as though you are following along in Jimmy's head, and he's thinking: "I can't go THERE with this solo, because I did that on SIBLY, so I'll go the opposite direction." All of that strikes me as a bit sad, because the implication was that Jimmy was running out of IDEAS.....which is about the worse thing anyone could say about someone like Jimmy Page up until that point in time. It was almost re-hash - creative fatigue. Naturally I believe this was due to not having the creative clarity because of his growing additions....but Tea For One is a track that I always feel explicitly shows Jimmy looking for help and falling into a familiar pattern....which is so unlike him. Brilliant song as a stand alone....but a bit sad when looking at the arc of the band's story to that point.
Wow, could not of said it ANY better, in every way!... I posted a comment above about Tea being my LEAST favorite Zep song, mentioning that I hated Plant's vocals and it cemented in my mind that his glory days were over... but YES for Jimmy as well, predictable and almost forced sounding to the point of it sounding cheesy (the song construction)... I was fortunate to see them for the first time in '72 and by the '77 tour Jimmy was a changed man.... in earlier years he would close his eyes on stage and get lost in the music and create, create..... in later years he stopped doing that... it seemed he became almost too aware of himself and the crowd if that makes any sense... and it seemed to carry over to his song writing as well.... I know I will get bashed by many here and believe me Im not bashing Jimmy, I love the man!... But I always felt that had it not been for early Zeppelin an album like Presence would not have gotten as much attention at all... but then again younger fans that didnt get into the band until later after their demise seem to like Presence a lot... so what do I know!
I think you know quite a lot, sir....I saw your post about Tea for One and I think you were spot-on, 100%. I think Jimmy was caught in the grip of addiction at this time....and he barely showed up for In Through The Out Door. It was a bad time for him ...I'm so happy he wrestled those demons and won, eventually. Good chatting with you.
When you put this album in perspective, I think it may have served as unintentional (individual, not couple's) therapy for Jimmy and Robert. It was done rather quickly, hence some of the lack of originality. I have to agree that Plant's vocals are a bit lackluster (for him) on Tea for One, and Jimmy is mostly replicating a working formula, but let's face it, these guys are human, and Zeppelin fans were spoiled by their brilliance for years. But Nobody's Fault But Mine, For Your Life, and especially Achilles Last Stand, are unique and are enough IMO to carry this album over the hump of mediocrity (for them).
That being said, I agree with most of what you all are saying, but I have to disagree about Bonzo (from a previous comment). Even with whatever burn-out, alcoholism, or whatever he was dealing with, I don't think he ever faltered. His contributions to these songs are about as much as a drummer can provide. The real shame about Presence is the lack of JPJ impact. That certainly gets rectified by the next album, but then you have too much Plant/Jones and not enough Jimmy!
@@MusicforBusyPeople I agree Nobody's Fault and Achilles are among Zep's greatest tracks....no doubt. I disagree about the album being therapy for Robert. In fact, Jimmy "forcing" Robert to record this album from a wheelchair increased resentment from Robert towards the band - a fact that is greatly reinforced by the lyrics from "Hots on For Nowhere" ("...Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder, Event I should happen to fall, Time and his bride (the band?) growing older, I've got friends who will give me fuck all." .....and..... "And if you ask my advice, take it slower, Then your story'd be your finest reward" - this is DIRECT resentment towards Jimmy for forcing this recording session); and later on the lyrics from Carouselambra (next album) where Robert calls out Jimmy specifically ("Where was your helping? Where was your bow?"). Any doubt that "where was your bow?" was referring to Jimmy? The lyrics for Carouselambra clearly describe the cracks and inner rotting of the band - pay particular attention to them when you post that reaction.
This is Robert saying: "Where were you when I needed you? Where was your understanding and compassion?" Robert had family seriously injured in his car wreck before Presence, and he had a close relationship with each of them. Robert's concerns were about things more important than music - he was told by doctors he might never walk again. Jimmy LIVED for Led Zeppelin....it was his obsession. Jimmy cared about Robert, but Jimmy was worried Zep hadn't released a new album in several years and he wouldn't/couldn't wait until Robert was ready. This was not therapy for Robert - he just as soon would have sat it out until he healed, but contractual relationships and fan demand didn't allow it. But the resentment caused by the recording of this album planted the seeds for the end of the band. As Plant later wrote in Carouselambra: "Take of the fruit, but guard the seed" (ie: enjoy the fruits of your labor (business), but guard the seed (protect your family and put them first).
@@MusicforBusyPeople The other line from "Hots" I forgot that applies: "Now everything's fine under heaven, *Now and then you've got to take time to pause, When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around, Or you'll land in a boat without oars* That is Robert saying: chill, Jimmy. We didn't need to do this now - I'm in a damn wheelchair. If you keep pushing me, you will have "Zeppelin" but not me.
Take the Zep test, don't listen to them for six months, what album would you put on first. Probably not Presence, an adult album. ❤
Didn't Page use a Strat on the Zep 1 album?
I think you may be thinking of the Telecaster?
No that was his 59/60 Telecaster that he used with the Yardbirds (previously owned by Jeff Beck)... As far as I know the first time he used the Strat in the studio was the Ten Years Gone solo
Pages last stand
Pretty much. He was more like a session musician for In Through The Out Door. A few of his solos on that album were fantastic (Fool In The Rain and I'm Gonna Crawl, in particular) but Jimmy was no longer steering the ship...and that definitely hurt their overall sound.
@@tektoniks_architects yeah and live it was a struggle for him. 77 he was in a daze. I’ve only heard 1 solid solo from that tour with all the boots I’ve heard. 79 m/80 he struggled and of course same post zep. Arguably lowest point 83 ARMS
@@derekjackson1039 Agreed. I'm trying to find the best '77 soundboard sound/show so I can get a cd (I have a source for pretty much any performance) but haven't figured out which '77 show is their best - they were erratic (Destroyer? NY? Landover? I have Seattle on dvd). Of course, the '77 shows had their best array of songs - everything up to Presence. ARMs was hard to watch...its amazing he ever got anything back. Late '90's Page/Plant and some Black Crows Jimmy did make a considerable improvement.
@@tektoniks_architects oh yeah 90s he got his shit together so Plant worked with him and he was playing zeppelin really well, best since 75. Coverdale stuff prob his best writing since zep too but wasn’t “great”.
@@derekjackson1039 Agree with everything you're saying. I wish him and Coverdale did more. Jimmy was still hoping Plant would go back to Zeppelin, but Jimmy wasn't reading the tea leaves properly, and Plant had no intention.
Where is my $100😀?
The two comments below show how polarizing Presence was!... "Tea for one is one of the greatest blues songs I've ever heard!!"... "This disc made me quit them."... My own opinion for what its worth (not much!), is a little of both... When I first put the album on my turntable back in '76 I did feel it was a welcome return to more of a raw rock sound... I love Nobodys Fault and think Hots On and Royal Orleans are a lotta fun... Achilles is a classic but I always skip over it (dont shoot me)... But this album also has my least favorite song, Tea for One!!!... As a guitarist and long time worshipper of Zep how can that be possible?... Sure some of Jimmy's playing is good, BUT I cant stand Plant's long drawn out miserable vocals... AND the song itself sounds like a cheesy attempt to do, as you say Mike, Pt. 2 of Since Ive Been Loving You.... except for me Since is about 1000 to 2000 times better!... Keep in mind that when I first heard Tea For One it was the day the album was released and I was 18 years old in '76... And it cemented in my mind that the glory years of Zeppelin were gone for good!... No more Robert belting his balls off but also with great subtlety and amazing unique vocal tone... and Jimmy? Gone for good are the incredible and perfect solos like Stairway, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, etc... and even Bonzo, listen to ANYTHING he did on the first five albums and its mind blowing.... But I digress.... Does anybody remember laughter! LOL
Wow....I just wrote something similar about Tea For One, and after I posted it, I saw your post. Spot on and I completely agree.
@@tektoniks_architects Yup, same to you about your spot on post!... Hey if you dont mind me asking, whats your age?... Im 65 and I find that younger people are much more accepting of later Zeppelin than I am... you an older fan like myself?
I'm 59, and my name is Ernie. Nice to meet you.
You must be my opposite doppleganger in life... (smile) I like everything on Presence EXCEPT Achilles' Last Stand and think Tea for One is one of their best tracks. You are correct, it seems quite like a warmed over Since I've Been Loving You. I like both songs for different aspects. SIBLY is early Zep using its mastery of traditional blues to compose something with a more complex / nuanced chord progression than normal blues. The only two drawbacks are a bit more of the younger Plant's "baby, baby" tendencies which make the live version on Song Remains the Same almost unlistenable for me. (Yea, I know... sacrilege...) Tea for One has some of the same chord flows but it reflects five additional years of Page working in a much higher quality studio environment (Musicland studio in Munich versus Kiwi in Tennessee). When I listen to Tea for One, the REVERB is a fifth instrument in the song. Page's interplay between the main lead and all of the side fills uses that space to highlight the emptiness being conveyed by the chords and vocals. I do understand how many fans do not like Tea for One. When the band recorded it, the band had trouble seeing where Page was going with it and really had trouble following his direction in the studio. I doubt any of them really "got it" until they heard the final mix. Page had to do all of the overdubs for the album in about 2 days before losing the studio to the Stones who were coming in next to record and did virtually all of them alone. The other unique sonic aspect to Tea for One (and everything on Presence) is JPJ's bass tone, due to him using an Alembic bass and SWR amp, which gave a very -- umm, grasping for a word -- TAUT tone rather than a softer, warmer tone that upped the tension on all of the material.
@@stratfanstl hey it’s what makes the world go around and a wonderful thing that we all have varying opinions. Every Zeppelin album has something great to offer, but they did evolve rapidly. The band on presence feels like such a different band that recorded the first album. But of course it’s the same for guys and there is a common thread throughout. But I grew up on early Zeppelin so it was always tough for me to accept the changes, even though change is good!
You owe me $ 100 😂 i loved this song since '85
Ps magazines like Rolling Stone ruined the chance of the album becoming huge , giving it bad reviews 🖕🖕🖕
Presence is their weakest album, but it is miles above the vast, vast majority of stuff released since by most other 'artists'.
You would lose a lot of $$ with that bet except with people who aren't real Led Zeppelin fans.
This disc made me quit them.
