"That was a damn good song"
Couldn't have said it better than that. Still hits almost 50 years later. Locked and loaded
Now you can understand how devastating it was to the band with the loss of this drummer. 😢
It sure was...I cried alot! My all time favorite band!
There is no Led Zeppelin without Bonzo.
Presence is Zep’s best kept secret. So underrated yet sooooo good. 🔥
I know right, love this album.
Not really. It’s good cause it’s Zeppelin but it doesn’t compare to their other albums.
It’s one of my favorite Led Zeppelin albums. It’s different, so I can see how it’s not at the top of your list.
It's always been a go to for me without even thinking about it, you know often visited , pulls me into orbit.
My second favorite Zeppelin record behind PG, but it opens with my #1 favorite LZ tune.
I love the early records with their reworking of old blues tunes, folk ballads, and straightforward rockers, but this record for me is extra special cause the Zep is flexing their FUNK, which they execute with moxy and zeal, though it also feels really loose compared to a lot of the earlier material.
Considering they were going through a lot of struggles (Plant in a wheelchair, and addiction issues), in contrast, it feels like they were really just trying to relax and enjoy the process of jamming together on this slab.
The wonder in youre expressions just cant be beat. Discovering all this led zeppelin in such a sshort time must be exhilarating. We at least had a few years to digest it all. Thank you for another great start to my day.✌️🎸🎶🎼🎵
This could have dropped in the early 2000s along with the strokes, Wolf Mother , black keys and the white stripes and killed the charts
I’m excited for you guys to hear Tea for One. Jimmy Page pits on a blues clinic. The band is absolutely firing on all cylinders on this album.
Indeed...
I love Tea for One and I'm gonna Crawl , two slow songs but two of me favs.
Which is doubly remarkable to me, considering the time crunch they were under, Jimmy’s drug issues and Robert’s physical condition and depression. Remarkable. But hell, they were just that good
By far one of my favorite songs by them.
This song is one of those songs that gets no recognition but is a top 5-10 Zeppelin song for me.
Presence is definitely their FUNKIEST album...what's great though is hearing this one and the last two you did one after another, bang-bang-bang! They all roll off nicely together.
Jimmy knew what he was doing in that regard!
The Band sounds absolutely amazing on this album, and on this track. Jimmy's guitar layers are not about fancy riffs or 32nd note solos. He is blending different sounds, volumes, echos, distortion and intensity to produce a symphonic affect the way an orchestra does when they use additional instruments to emphasize parts of a composition. John and JPJ are their usual stellar selves, producing sharp, clear, and decisive rhythm to this absolute gem of mixing and producing a new sound for the band on this album. Robert Plant, whether or not his voice has changed from younger days, finds new ways to shock the listener while still providing a tone and cadence that leaves no doubt you're listening to LZ!
As a kid, I got a LOT of "turn that down" coming from other parts of the house when this album was playing.. Except for my Grandmother who said that this song was, and I quote " That music is Hot to Trot"... A kindred spirit, no doubt..
Every couple of days you guys remind me of how much I love this album. I was 10 years old when it came out but hadn't started listening to LZ yet. 2 years later I "borrowed" my brothers Led Zepp II album (cassette) and I was hooked.
LarryJnyc it was House's of The Holy that got me started on Zep in 1974.. I was 10 years old!!! Then I went on a heavy diet of Zeppelin 2.. I then got Physical Graffitti for Christmas of 1976 and I felt for sure it was the greatest album I've ever heard!!! 47 years later and I still love Zeppelin and I never grew bored of Physical Graffitti!!!10 Years Gone and in the light are just amazing
Ha you think these guys know what a cassette is?
Bonham is so damn good on this track!
Incredible! 50 years later and I'am still shaking my head. Unbelievable.
The last song left on the album is one of my favorites, it's a little different tempo but it hits the right chord when your in a pensive mood. I'm enjoying your journey.
I haven't heard many of these songs in years though I listen to Zeppelin quite often. Thanks for this deep dive into their discography, it has awakened my appreciation for many of their songs I had forgotten about. I look forward to your reaction to In Through the Out Door.
Same.
👍👍 Looking forward to In Through The Out Door!!
Proud to have worn this album out.
Bonham's drum pattern on the last verse is what makes it, for me. Another fantastic reaction, gentlemen. Have a great weekend!
Down the rabbit hole😊
Robert wrote the lyrics to express his increasing dissatisfaction with his (then) current life situation and if you read them, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. The lyric "I've got friends who will give me f*ck all" (he sings "flock" or "fluck" in an attempt to fool censors) is directed at Jimmy and manager Peter Grant, whom Robert felt weren't being sympathetic to his situation of injury, being worried about his family, homesick, etc., not to mention the drugs that were going around. Musically, it had bits of its start from some of the improvisation Jimmy would do during various performances of Dazed. He'd regularly remember bits of spontaneous riffs and whatnot and file them away for potential use in later material. It also has hints of "borrowed" sounds from their song Walter's Walk, which they'd worked on a little but wouldn't get released until CODA. It came together in about an hour's time in studio.
Walter's Walk walks all over my brain with Bonzo's floppy bass drum and Page's rolling riffs! It's one of my favorites.
Presence never landed as much for me as their other albums but y'all are helping me to give it its proper due. Thanks for that!
I hope you're learning that this album is better than you perceived. 👍
I hate to compare the earlier albums with the newer, but I thought they got better with age.. I love ITTOD even more. JPJ has a huge role in that album, and Jimmy's creativity was amazing. I'll never rate all the Zep albums bc for me they were all A+
@@Michael-Philip yeah, I'm no musician (although I noodle a bit on an acoustic guitar, playing chords & riffs to Zep tunes I picked up over the years). I just know which songs & albums have drawn me back again & again and that's pretty much Zep 1-4, HOTH, and PG.
ITTOD is like a different band, but I enjoy it on its own terms.
Presence never had as much of a magnetic effect on me, but (like I suggested above) these reactions may change that!
Achilles Last Stand is to me Zep's apex performance. It's the song I'd play for someone who never heard Zeppelin.
you might scare them away with a ten minute song.
@@Greg-io1ip
This album has so many different styles and sounds. Another great one.
Love the Friday morning Zep drops gents
that groove that Bonham and JPJ laid down, made this song....one of the lesser known gems that LZ gave us. And that guitar outro that JP laid down was just full bodied and in your face.
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs
Wow, 50 years and it still rocks! Hadn’t heard that since I packed up the vinyl and moved to TN, 12 years ago. Glad you enjoyed it!
Time to nip up to your loft dude
Loving to see you guys appreciate this underrated LP. Def a banger and love that controlled casual approach that Page takes on the solo. The next one is a slow burner, blues masterpiece IMO; think you will approve🔥
I forgot how much I liked Presence. It's been a while since I heard some of these tracks.
So much more to love on this album
Robert had his accident so the tour was off. Jimmy booked studio time for two weeks. Worked 20hr days to finish it. And what you hear from Robert is a man who was in a wheel chair singing when u should’ve been resting.
Bonham, Bonham, Bonham & as you guys always say, Plant's improv at the end....golden...
We warned you guys into being surprised 👍😁👍
I never appreciated this song as much until listening through your experience of it. It's actually a banger!
Led Zeppelin..Hots on for nowhere
:Hip Hop
:Robert Plant rapping
:Hear a little James Brown groove.
What else is there to say about the masters of groove? Close your eyes and pick a song. You’ll never be disappointed!❤
I love all ZePPeLiN albums. But Presence is just so good.
Presence is one of my top fav Zeppelin records right there with PG, but Presence really brings that swinging funk groove like none of their others, which made it one of their catalogue I would spin the most.
When you guys got a new zeppelin to review I have to dust off my headphones straight away 👌
Haha! You guys found another gem. Been a huge LZ fan over forty years. Thanks for reminding me that this album deserves to be put in proper perspective. The band always struggled with why it didnt seem to hit people like the others. We should have knwn that they were right.
Just imagine how many "samples" could be taken out of this album and all the rest of Led Zepp's albums???!!! Hundreds!!!!!!!!!
Zep was a great utilizer of space. Did that a lot on this album. To me, Presence is a top three Zep album. One of my favs. And this song one of my favorite Jimmy solos.
I love when Jimmy just goes off into a different space and doesn't play by the rules..
@@Michael-Philip yes, exactly
Yes Presence Rocks as well as In through the Outdoor. Waiting for that one. ❤
Their previous two albums featured plenty of keyboards, acoustic guitar, various playing styles. It's nice to hear them on Presence get back to basics: electric guitars, bass, and drums. And they really show off their rhythmic dexterity. Deep, complex grooves on this album that most bands would not be able to pull off. On every track, what JPJ and Bonham are playing is SICK.
I love every song they ever made!
There's just no one better Period !
More funk, and I'm here for it!
I've been listening to this Lp since the day it came out and it NEVER gets old.
I defy any group on their best day to match THE POWER of this one song let alone the rest of the Lp.
PEACE
LOVE
LED ZEPPELIN
Led is so unique!!
They core of led Zeppelins success is how they made sure all parts of the music including vocals ny Robert was all loud
There was a story about Bonzo going onstage at a Who concert? grabbing the mic and saying this is John Bonham from Led Zeppelin and we got a new album called Presence and it kicks A**! Don't know if its true but there's video of Keith Moon hangin jamming onstage with Zep so anything's possible! Anyway I always loved Presence and feel that it truly showcases Bonzo's super powers!
Love your reactions guys. I need a couple of bobble-heads like you for my rear window. 😂 JPJ and Bonzo!! Best rhythm section ever!! Like Trammell & Whitaker or Reese & Robinson. None better. I heard an interview with JPJ and he said he never considered going on after Bonzo passed. Just couldn't imagine playing with any other drummer.
That really was a drum clinic. Those fills pauses and the halftime shuffle towards the end’s always make me happy
Wowzer... not heard this one before...what a top tune! Won't be able to get that riff out of my head for quite a while 😅
I always thought this and Royal Orleans were just beautiful little hidden gems. Always loved Presence. You guys have a treat coming for last tune too imo.
Tea for One is a beauty! Page and the blues riffs.
A underrated album. Great reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
I like how you guys soaked that one in dam good song and dam good reaction
Week that Presence was released (early April '76), Billboard charts featured Johnny Taylor (Disco Lady), Captain & Tenille, Bay City Rollers .. that contributed to my affection for this album.
My favorite band ❤️
Did y’all know, on this Day in 1979, the boys played their last UK show ever with Bonzo. Seems fitting to have one from them today 😢
The struggle was real trying to figure out the lyrics to this one. I swear I must have heard it a thousand times over the course of years before I did. Lots of LP's back then didn't have lyrics on the inner sleeve(s). Like this one. 😀
Bonzo and Page were laser-locked. Mind-melded.
When I was in high school in the late 70's, a good friend and I were deep into the Zeppelin. One of us made a homemade mix 8-Track tape of various Zeppelin. (If you can believe that not only did one of us have a machine at home that you let you record vinyl onto 8-track, but apparently, one or both of us had 8-track stereos in our cars. The thing about those 8-tracks, there were four "programs", I think they called them, each 15 minutes long. So it would play that 15 minutes, then there'd be a loud awkward clunk sound and it would start playing the next 15 minutes. It was really hard to time things out in that format, and even professional releases trying to mimic the albums would sometimes fade a song down in the middle, allow for the program change, then fade back up into the rest of the song. That tape we had, "Hots On For Nowhere" changed programs during it. Right after the line that says something about the "rain, dear", there'd be a loud clunk and it would go straight into "Dancing Days". We listened to that tape a lot, and ever since, when it gets to the "rain, dear" part, I'm always a little thrown off that it doesn't immediately go into "Dancing Days"...
Hah, great story, i still have memories of similar "special moments" in songs I heard countless times on my cassette tapes that still percolate up to my awareness when I hear their same flawless versions today, lol! One example is my friend Roger recorded the Stones "Street Fighting Man" for me one time. He knocked a button sideways and launched it from recording the radio to "record with a live mic." So Mick's singing "I shout and scream, I kill the King, I rail at all his"---and suddently Roger's voice is saying "Oh, f***!" as he realizes his mistake before switching it back to the Stones playinglol!
@@joescott8877 Heh...
Always liked how this album seemed like a departure with Nobody’s Fault and Achilles Last Stand. Then the last song, Tea For One brings you back to the first album. Better than advertised.
They bout to bring it on home with Tea For One 😅
This is on a list of Zeppelin songs you may not remember the song title name, then you go, "oh this one! It jams! I just called it "My Backbone', cuz we thought it was about something between the sheets".
I hope you guys do "Tea For One" a slow and very bluesy song.. amazing 🙂
I love that you guys check out all the deep cuts like this one... You never hear this on the radio ❤
Tea For One... a masterpiece & its next!!🎶💙🎵
For me THIS is my pick for LED ZEPPELINS BEST ALBUM
I always loved this track!!!
It’s crazy how good the album is and how often brushed aside because album sales weren’t that good when released. So much was happening in music at that time. Disco reared it’s head…Donna Summer, KC and the sunshine band
I love seeing you guys latch onto a tune at first listen that took me much longer to fully appreciate! It just makes me love it that much more.
I thought I lost all my brain cells in the 70’s. I still remember the words and beats in this one. Wow. Thanks for playing!
A good ol' drum and bass jam turned into a song.
i just love seeing their heads bob to zeppelin
I've found my people!! my fav (and the best) LZ song 🔥🔥
The finale song is probably gonna be your favorite fyi. Been waiting on that reaction since the journey started
Yep, me too! I think they'll effing love it, or be bored by it. Nothing in between. But I think they'll be over the moon with it, man! They will be in a blissful trance by that groove and jimmy's soul-caressing guitars. I used to be bored by it, back in my idiot, impatient days. the I actually began LISTENING to it, and now recognize it for the brilliant favorite of mine that it is!
Another masterpiece, three cheers to you two thanks
I hope you guys like your blues sloooow, mellow, and masterful, cos that's what "Tea For One" is about to give you! It's got a groove that's so cool it's glacial. But if you allow yourself to fall into it, the ice will be your new best friend. I was late to love it--took me awhile to REACT to it--that is, actually LISTEN to it. Then I was "OMG Where have you been all my life!!" LOL. Hope it works its bloozy magic for y'all as well!
Such a great song
In Through The Out Door is another under rated album ..IMO. Hope you get a chance to check that one out too!
Depends on how you define under rated. It was a huge commercial success and got a lot of radio play, unlike Presence. But some music critics didn't like it. I think it's fabulous.
@@wiredhorn87 When I was traveling back in the early 80's I had 3 cassette tapes with me to listen to on a bus trip from the east coast to the west coast. Who's Next, Houses of The Holy and In Through the Out Door. I know every word to these songs having played them for hours on end. I love ITTOD...just felt it deserved more credit than given to at the time. Yes, it had commercial success for a few songs, but good, deep cuts never saw the light of day. There is no bad Zep album.
@@leemcclements8889 I'm with ya! Born in '69, I don't remember, of course, the release of I - Houses, but I definitely remember In Through The Out Door because my classic rock stations (Tampa Bay Area) were saturated with it from its release all the way thru the 80s. The song that turned me on to Zep was All My Love. I heard it on my older brother's boom box, about 1980, and it immediately resonated with me as being so beautiful and moving. I asked him, "Who is that?". He answered like I was stupid and just curtly said, "Led Zeppelin". I became a megafan. It is still in my Zep top 5. My favorites in order are: II, I, Houses, In Thru The Out, IV, Physical, III, and Presence. Special shout out to a handful of stellars on III and Physical. Peace and Love.
I will always wonder where Zeppelin would have gone musically and what they would have put out if things had not gone so horribly wrong in 1980. With the untimely death of Bonham and the disbanding of Zeppelin, we will never know what could have been.
That's how Led Zeppelin grabs you by the head and ears --- and blows your skull cap off w a deep groove full of stank and head spinning "say what's ?!" groove ! They were incredible and to think - this album ended up in the bargain bin - LOL.
Bonzo's fills are insane from the middle of the song through the end!
You want some greasy, grizzled, melancholy blues - up next "Tea for One."
The Boys were flexin on this album big time! 💪🥴
Love this album! Thanks for reacting to it! Brings back a lot of memories.
I used to be "that guy" in high school, one of those who brought a jambox with him, blasting it thru the halls during class breaks, at lunch, etc. The rockers dug it, anyhow, lol. But I had THIS song playing sometimes, and other Zeppelin "hidden gems," and more casual Zeppelin fans, "reacting" to it as well, were like "THAT'S ZEPPELIN??!" they had no idea Presence or "Hots on for nowhere" existed, cos the radio didn't play them. I was proud to spread that gospel, and proud to spread it LOUD!
Love it when they leave a hole in the mix bonzos drumming usually always will try to syncopate with Jimmy's riffs to the point that he plays the guitar melody's with his kit he does this in so many songs. It just locks it all down so tight. All my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Man, I love that song!
My favorite song off of Presence!
yup.........thanx guys you saved the best for last Tea For One is straight blues
If you guys want to see a singer who was a big influence on Robert Plant, you should watch Steve Marriott with Humble Pie, singing 'Black Coffee', on The Old Grey Whistle Test, tv programme. Plant used to go see Marriott play, all the time.
Bonham is a beast
There is no filler on this record. I'm looking forward to your reaction on the last track. After you finish Presence, In Through the Out Door is very different, but you have to take some band history into account with the changes you'll hear. Presence is my sentimental favourite record of all time.
Taken altogether, from beginning to end, this is one of the very best rock drum albums of all time.
Presence is a much better album than most people give it credit for. I love the cocaine inspired boogie....
I agree. I like this album much more now, than I did years ago.
Keep it up guys. Your reactions are great. And yes, this is a hidden gem.
ROCK AND ROLL😮BABY
The 80’s were looming. Disco was a thing to be sure. Music was changing and evolving and as the rock bands go Led Zeppelin was the top of the spear.
“In Through the Out Door” is the charge into the 80’s. Page and Plant steady. Bohnam driving the bus, but JPJ and his Secret Sauce really flex that album. 80’s synth heavy music and prog rock were looming. JPJ lays down the blueprint on what and how to do it. I hear much of “In Through the Outdoor” sound on both Page and Plants solo albums. What might have been?
Zep just had the ability as a band to find a crazy heavy groove and add totally unexpected twists, with Page and Plant overlaying vicious leads and vocals. Although different in tone, Black Sabbath was great at that deeeeep groove also.
I always appreciate you guys
