One thing I love about these reaction channels doing classic rock is that it confirms just how damn good the music was back in, what I call, the best damn decade for music ever. I've watched reactors in their teens, twenties, thirties, and forties talk about just how amazing groups like Zepplin were. They often lament what it's like for us folks who grew up on this music listening to what's coming out now. One guy in his 30s said, "How the hell can you listen to today's music? It falls so far short of the excellence of the 70s." Amen. "At our very worst, we were better than most bands, and at our very best we could wipe the floor with the lot of them." JPJ
This is a rockabilly number that grows and grows on you the more times you listen to it. You can hear Elvis coming through in Robert's delivery. And those janglin' guitar tones!
@anthonypowell6234
I've always thought the exact same thing. You can definitely hear Robert's love of Elvis & you can also hear Jimmy's love of Scotty Moore. Those early influences stay in the heart.
Btw...around 2000 I got to see Scotty play. He was about 69 & still had it.
Then I got to sit & spend some time with him. What a sweet, kind, humble man he was. He'd recently been inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & was so happy about it. No one deserved it more.💙🌿
Very nice! I had a similar experience with Dick Dale, when my band played a show with him about twenty years ago.@@deborahcornell171
As a drummer back then, this was my favorite track on the album. It's a total, non-stop workout and you have to be thinking the whole time. As soon as Page's intro is over it immediately does that classic Zep time shift thing, going forward off the beat, then comes back later, then shifts forward, back & forth throughout the song. It's like "Black Dog". Everyone thinks they know it, but you never hear garage bands cover it because it's too complex. I think "Candy Store Rock" was the best modern-era rockabilly tribute, at least until Los Lobos did "Shakin' Shakin' Shakes" 10 years later. This kicks off a 50s section in the middle of Side Two of Presence with the next one, "Hots On For Nowhere", going even further back to the roots of rock 'n roll with Page's nod to small swing dance combos - again with Zep's tricky, futuristic time phrasing. But Presence mostly reminds me of learning my first bass lines on a Spanish acoustic - with a pick! Any weapon to hand, I guess.
Any weapon to hand! Perfectly said!
am i the only one who think this song is awesome start to finish?
the beat is kickin hard! truly love the rhythm section..
Even Zeppelin’s throwaways are better than 99% of any other band’s songs! That’s because even if it isn’t one of their best, it’s always interesting.
you consider this a throwaway? LOL
So true. I haven’t heard a bad song but I’m a Led Head 😊
@@michaelfried3123 I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just saying even their fun, non- masterpiece songs are awesome.
@@deeg8849 gotta’ agree to disagree with ya’ there
@@deeg8849 you need to get off the crack.
Here's some good advice to you youngins out there:
If your Led Zeppelin mix tape doesn't have Candy Store Rock on it then you don't have a Led Zeppelin mix tape.
Very unique off beat melody. You never know what to expect from Zeppelin. John Bonham makes it sound easy but believe me, as a drummer it doesn’t get much more difficult than this amazing song!❤
The next song, "Hots On For Nowhere", is the killer track on this album. Bonz and JPJ tear it up. Pay attention to the sound of the cymbals on that track. Talk about a groove! Wear your hats or your heads might pop off! Enjoy!!
The guitar on that track is phenomenal!
PEACE
LOVE
LED ZEPPELIN
I love this song; it's a 50s inspired, rock and roll/rockabilly number that has tinges and twangs of Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran - both a couple of Jimmy's musical inspirations from his early childhood. It came together in about an hour in studio and has Jimmy flicking off dark riffs at will and inserting a brief yet frenzied solo that comes in for a sneak attack before blending back. To my ear, the guitars have a hint of psychobilly flavor, which is a fusion punk and rockabilly. The drums are so much fun. They start off in 4/4 but goes off time at each bridge section. This song is a favorite of Robert's who said he cobbled the lyrics together from bits and pieces of remembered Elvis lyrics and based his vocal style after singer Ral Donner, who had some success as an Elvis-style singer in the early 60s.
i'm with you on this..
i get when people don't find this suitable to their taste, but to put this well written complex structure as a filler is just criminal to me
Great album. All the songs are awesome. 😎
Robert loved that Elvis-style slap-back delay on his vocals.
Taken all together, this album just rocks hard from beginning to end. The song sequencing is great and tops it off with a slow blues number.
They recorded this whole album in about 18 days. I think what they did was just get in a studio and jam for 20 minutes or so and something like this would come out . They were on automatic at this point .
Actually Page had already written the music and the changes so Plant had to follow the music so it was not really improvised since he knew what changes were coming since that is how usually Pagey writes the music..
50s sock hop is a great call out, as Robert Plant loved Elvis. And 50s pop, rockabilly, etc. if you check out his solo career, it’s got a lot of 50s love. “Sea of Love” is a great cover.
This isn't doo whop this is Elvis Presley Rock and roll! Robert plant is doing his doing his Elvis Presley impression!
This was always one of my favorites on the album. It's like progressive rockabilly...
FINALLY! Someone who notices how Robert Plant just goes off in any direction especially at the end of songs! Think of Ramble on, they ended up with so many they just layered a bunch in! And live?! Sheesh he would sing anything live. It didnt always work but hey, it was interesting!
Drums are great on this kicker.
Even if you don’t care for it, I’m still excited to see what you think of TEA FOR ONE!
In reference to Roberts voice, i believe this was recorded in a studio in Malibu and Robert was in a wheelchair from a complex leg fracture after the car accident. So most likely sitting down.
Bonzo. . . .🔥Thanks for the reaction.
Loved this song from day 1 when it first got airplay
This one may be a filler for non drummers - But it's a masterpeace for drummers, Bonzo shifts the kick accents back and forth. A true genius. Wait for it at 03:01.
I couldn’t have said it better myself! From one drummer to another
You're gonna love next two songs.
Completely agree. The song Tea For One is also derivative of their own previous song Since I've Been Loving You. Zep are a truly magnificent band though, a small perceantage of filler, but a Wholle Lotta Klla ;) In the nicest way with incredibly multi-dimensional philosophies and melodies, and that's what's art is about
Tea for One gonna be a show stopper jawdropper blues brawler for the Bros
You can hear not only rockabilly but you can hear some james brown influence during the break @ 3:03. ☮️
Robert Plant loved this song, said it was probably his favorite on the album.
Rockabilly!
Awesome
I think you'll love the next song. Probably the most underrated Zeppelin track of em all. Bonzo is an absolute beast
Led Zeppelin plays baby making music. Trust me, I know...our baby just turned 33💜
Oh, my god, I can't believe we guys are playing this one I haven't heard this
Just listen to Bonzo
Reminds me of Roberts later band the Honey Drippers
Engineer [Tape] - Jeremy Gee.
Engineer, Mixed By - Keith Harwood.
Executive-Producer - Peter Grant.
Producer - Jimmy Page.
Then Page again when he remastered the library.
I can't wait for you guys to hear Robert Plant sing with the Honydrippers in the remake "Sea of Love". In fact.....why wait?
Ya that last part was heavy af whooo
I agree with mr scott on all points…Bonzos drums and JPJs bass are the heart of this song…another reason to like this channel are the subscribers…La and Che wrap it up neatly…well done, all!
Wow. You two are going deep. I have not heard in this song in ages. Going to add it to my collection. As always fellas great reaction. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
this is totally Robert Plant music, this is the direction he wanted to go in towards the late 1970's. He even wanted to leave Zep, and tried to but Bonham reeled him back in. Page and Bonham liked the heavy rock songs but Plant wanted to do more Elvis, rock-a-billy 1950's type stuff. After Zep you can hear it when he was in the stray cats and honey drippers.
This is a definitely a tribute to 1950s rock, but Jimmy's guitar playing has a 1960s funk sound and rhythm to it. Robert's singing starts out with a tribute Elvis, as Robert is mimicking that deep Elvis voice.
Bonzo's stutter stop pardiddle-laden drum beat is killer and Jonesy adds the bottom end thickness to the whole glorified organized tight cacophony ! There's an acoustic guitar buried in the mix, but you can't hear it.
This is the only Led Zeppelin album with no audible obvious acoustic guitar, nor keyboard on it. Maybe that might be the reason for this album ending up in the record store bargain bin. It's a phenomenal album - start to finish.
The next song up - is to die for ! Great reaction gents ! ❤🎉🎵🎶
If a beat can be called a “Shuffle” in reference to a walking rhythm, this would be a “Hinkey stumble”.
Thanks for playing this one, haven't heard since the 80's
First off, yes, Che, please say whatever you feel. Honesty is the best policy, etc.. Second, I think this is pretty much "filler," too, lol! One of the very few Zep songs , imo, that is, but hey, yeah: it's just kinda THERE. Fireworks-free zone. I know some others will agree. I like JPJ's bass line thruout, and Plant's "ad-libs," but for me it's Bonzo's machine-gun bursts of drumming at the end that really propel it up a notch. Maybe La was grooving to that some also. --Get ready for the funky "Hots on for nowhere"!
“Hots On For Nowhere” is MUCH better!
@@BBaldwin Yup! I think they might get a kick out of how energetically funky Bonzo's drumming and drum-FILLS are in that one! And Page's quirky-cool guitar solo. ANd Robert's lyrics, AND , well, yeah, it's MUCH better, lol!
you guys really need to do a reaction to Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979 it one of the best versions of the song ever, Bonzo go all out in that clip
I can't wait til you get to the next album, In Through the Out Door. For me, I love all the songs on that album except one, which kind of comes out of left field, but lots of people actually like it. I admit I wasn't too familiar with this album, except for a couple songs, but I'm enjoying hearing it. They can't all be perfect but I'm happy to go through them all.
Let me guess, Carouselambra is the one you don't care for?
@@sebastianblack6506 No, I can't stand Hot Dog!! I love Carouselambra 😍
@@jenniferfoster1692 That's understandable, Carouselambra is the better song by far.
@@jenniferfoster1692 Aw, man, I love Hot Dog! It's so funny, spot-on country rock and, of course, based on a true story about Robert and a 17 y/o girl from TX that he had a fling with back then and she dumped him, lol. Carouselambra was trippy and spacey late 70s take on the New Wave sound that was blowing up at the time, but it hasn't aged well at all.
@@sheila1965troubles Haha, I know, a lot of people like it! I 'get it' more now that I did back in the day, but my habit has always been to skip over it. For me that album is just one long experience, not separate songs, but Hot Dog just messes up my flow, lol!!! I like the backstory about it, though, thanks for sharing that!
You guys to listen Wearing and Tearing by them as well
Been really enjoying your zep reactions. Watching someone discover and greatly enjoy something for the first time that you've loved so much for years is a lot of fun:) Once you've completed their discography, do you plan to do like a breakdown on what your favorite zep albums were and which songs were your top faves? Would love to watch that. Keep up the great content/vibes and thanks for what you do.
I used to despise this song. But over the years it's really grown on me. Even if it is "filler", Zeppelin filler is still better than most bands "good"
No way it's a filler!
Sounds like an homage to Elvis
It is! “Baby Lets Play House”.
Pay off on this song is definitely at the end, you guys nailed it!! Notice, NO keyboards from JPJ on this album...!!
Plant's tribute to Elvis Presley, I believe.
Good analysis guy's .
Yeah, a 'filler' song for them will be the best for many others. They sound great no matter what they play. Just a damn fine album that time has been kind to. Can't wait for Tea For One, one of their very best blues, Jimmy Page utterly shines with a tone only he had. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Zeppelins Elvis tune
A bit of Elvis in a funky, heavy role.... rolll.
It's a long video, but Drumeo has a video with Brandon Toews playing 175 RUSH songs in 25 minutes. It's SO worth a reaction. IT'S F-ING AMAZING!!! How anybody can piece this medley together blows me away. It took him 10 weeks to compile it. You will LOVE IT!
They were trying to get it down as close to a Country and R&B mix but it didn't really get all the way there. Nobody is better than Bob Dylan's bands post Blonde on Blonde at this type of Rock N Roll, distilling it back down to the original Country and R&B mix that Chuck Berry used to create Rock N Roll. The Bakersfield Sound is what brought Country back into Rock N Roll, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings being the primary drivers in all that.
I think "Tea For One" is on this album and that song is a fantastic jam!
Yo play I'm gonna crawl by LED Zeppelin Blues all the way.
Percy doing his best Elvis on this track...😁
The Elvis tribute.
This is one of the few led zeppelin songs I never liked and always skipped over. This is a album filler or you could say they where just having fun.
Yes, very ‘50’s echo. Like Jerry Lee Lewis, some Richie Valens, Ventures, many others.
Zep does Rockabilly, like a Gene Vincent tribute
Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jimmie Foxx, Satchel Paige, Jamie Foxx and Himmy Butler 😎😂
La & Che, please react to your 2nd *_ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)_* song. You guys loved, *"Evil Woman".* Well, they've got a ton more great songs! I really think your next ELO reaction should be to their 1976 classic, *"Tightrope",* you fellas will love it!! (Studio version.)
I know I like that one.
One of the handful of Zeppelin songs I don’t care for. And that’s just because I don’t like rockabilly that much, no matter how well it’s played.
I agree with you guys. Not my favorite. But they still bring it. Rockabilly
Slap back!
Whole Lotta Elvis and Roy Orbison going on.
🤪👍
Its all JPJ and Bonzo on this one
sounded like he was trying to imitate Elvis in the beginning
Despite the great musicianship and inventiveness this song could have been titled, "Ear Candy Rock", because it plays to 'what the '50s sounded like' rather than what made the original rock 'n' roll so great such as the 12 bar turnaround/release that's like a spiral staircase where you arrive back on the same chord but the feeling is elevated and that is only elaborated and enhanced by the right-to-point solos such as you find in Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula". If Led Zeppelin had applied the inventiveness in this song to '50s originals they might have been more successful than Robert Plant's efforts with the Honeydrippers which were merely covers of the originals.
Zep rarely missed. I don’t think they had “album fillers” though. I listen to III and Houses on, skipping I, II, and IV, probably because I wore them out as a teen.
I like it when you keep it real, we all know its a filler song but it has cool parts.
I love Jimmy's playing throughout this album...really loosens up which is saying alot considering his usual looseness
If Buddy Holly had lived....This.
They were trying to get it down as close to Country and R&B mix but it didn't really get all the way there. Nobody is better than Bob Dylan's bands post Blonde on Blonde at this type of Rock N Roll, distilling it back down to the original Country and R&B mix that Chuck Berry used to create Rock N Roll. Crosby Stills Nash & Young would be second to Dylan in doing that, the Country and R&B mix.
Not the strongest track...perhaps its the mixing. I'm not sure what it is actually! It doesn't matter much for me, I still love them. ❤
Robert Plant was a big fan of Elvis Presley.
Rock-a-billy, LZ style! I think you're right - an album filler! Thanks for your insights LA and Che!
Sinister rockabilly.
This is what Elvis would have sounded like on acid😂
You mean end of song not record! And Robert plant isn't ad libbing in the song! Those are written lyrics the only time Robert plant ad libs is when performing live!
No a song on an album is called a record. Maybe that started wit cds but a record is one song
I love all of Zeppelins LPs except for this one and Coda.
This record is great man what are you saying
@@eye5856 I love the others, but not this one. This one just doesn't grab me the same way.
I agree. Aside from Nobody's Fault - which is classic blow the roof off blues rock Zep - this album left me stone cold and still does all of these decades later. Not to knock their creativeness and musicianship, which of course is outstanding, but the super jazzy stuff just didn't do it for me. Not really a big jazz fan to being with and absolutely LOVE the blues, so when they took this turn, I just couldn't go there with them.
Not their best song but Bonzo has a strong groove going on here...
Voodoo trance music from the British Isles never sounded so good
La you look like your trying to figure out Bonzo technique
This has always been the one zep song I can’t listen too.. it’s not good. But the final two tracks are gonna makeup for it tenfold
This is a filler track- a play on Elvis’ “Baby Lets Play House”.
Dont let John Bonham know that track was filler.... i think theres more happening in that track than most Zep tunes...
Not sure why all the singing y'all heard was the wooo wooo. I heard a lot of the usual LZ songs about gettin' some. lol, but yeah the song wasn't that good till the end. Drums were phenomenal throughout.
This is one of a very few Zepp songs I don't like. They probably have 6 or 8 songs that I consider filler songs. I never liked this song from the first time I heard until now. It never grew on me.
I think of this as filler, one my least favorite Zep songs, but it still sounds great. Ironically, it was released as the single in the US. Bonham kills it, he played his ass off on this whole album. I love the next 2 songs, really Candy Store Rock is easily low point of Presence for me. But still sounds great.
This is the only LZ song I skip when the album is playing.
Listen again to just the drums. 😉
Not my favorite, but the rhythm is so different.
Album filler???? Did you hear the drumming on this? Back in the day we were dancing our buts off to this.
