It's the album dearest to me, and I think it has some of their most personal songs, but it is definitely not them at their peak. But for all of the album's shortcomings, it's amazing how good they still sound, considering the dire state Page, Plant and Bonham were in. Plant was mourning his son, and was recovering from a car wreck - basically doing most of the album while seated with his leg in a cast. Page was battling a drug addiction that was in full swing. And Bonzo's alcoholism was absolutely raging, by then. Jones was the only bandmember living a relatively normal life. Yet with all that adversity, they still managed to crank out filthy gems like this (and epic rockers like "Achilles' Last Stand") - that shows the depth of their bond and sheer musicianship. It's why they always leave me in awe.
@@AlphaLimaXray ---- those troubles that the band was going through that all of us Zeppelin fans know about, plus on the verge of a break up, Plant not wanting to perform live anymore, etc..., and still bring able to make seven songs that fill an LP, and I don't know what shortcomings you are hearing, but to each their own, I don't think there is anything wrong, or lacking, or under played, under produced, all songs fit because they were written for this album and not left overs from previous albums, that can make an album non linear in the songs chosen to be on the album. I am not saying you are wrong, we all have our reasons for liking certain songs, albums, artists, and that's the great thing about music. But, I have to say as I wrote before, this is the band at their pinnacle, because they were having problems on many levels personal and as a band and as a business. But they were able to get beyond the problems and it was either make the best recordings they could or it was going to prematurely going to be the last album they make and they had to go big or go home. I believe there are no bad Zeppelin albums from 1 thru In Through The Out Door, no bad songs, each album can be played start to finish on both sides, or all four sides, and never need to skip a song unless you want to hear one particular song and don't have time to play all songs. There are songs on other albums that I like more than some songs on Presence, but maybe it's just the hard heavy metal fan that I am that and this was the first release from Zep when I was just old enough, being 11 yrs old, that I could get excited over an album drop from one of my favorite bands and could buy my own copy instead of listening to my older sibling's albums. So, stay healthy and safe and protect your loved ones
Whenever this song is discussed, many people argue that this is another Led Zeppelin song that was stolen from a Blues artist. While there is no doubt that Blind Willie Johnson recorded a version of this song in 1928, Led Zeppelin did not "steal" it. Most people are unfamiliar with US and UK copyright law at the time and would benefit from a little history lesson. First, prior to 1976, copyright laws only protected music for 28 years; anything older than that was considered Public Domain. Second, the administration of copyright protection falls to the Library of Congress Copyright Office; any composed works that were not registered with the LOC we're not protected under copyright law. Third, most blues artists "borrowed" music, ideas and lyrics from other sources and it is virtually impossible to determine original authorship. As such, even if they had tried to copyright their music, they would have been unsuccessful. Fourth, while obviously finding inspiration in older music, most Led Zeppelin songs are at least 90% original material; they created musical arrangements and compositions far beyond what the "original" artists could ever have imagined. In conclusion, in almost every case where a song is credited to Page and Plant, it is at least 90% original with the remaining 10% being Public Domain of indescernable origin. Crediting that last 10% to someone who recorded it 60 years earlier was not only unnecessary, but would be doing a great disservice to the generations of African-Americans who were already familiar with the material.
if youre right then why were they sued so many times?? Let's face it they stole, and you can justify it any way you want. the idea that they took a song and improved upon is nonsense, its like saying I stole your car but because I made improvements to it its legally mine.
Yes nobody cared when blues singers borrowed from one another, but when Zep and Clapton made them into million dollar hits, suddenly there were all kinds of "originators" claiming rights.
@@hifijohn No, it's like me salvaging a tire from your abandoned car (which you borrowed from your neighbour) placing it on my Ferrari, and then you claiming the Ferrari is yours.
I absolutely adore this song. I love the drop at the end of the guitar parts that start the song, where it seems to bottom out and expand before pulling back up. This is another great Zep-style blues; it's got a punch and snap and the guitar solo sounds bright and sharp. I stopped picking "favorites" a long time ago. Now, I pick for mood; what song will fit how I'm feeling right now?
All albums of Zeppelin are FIRE!! I love them all! They all 4 are GOATS of their instruments !! Plant in the harmonica is fire!!🔥🔥 it really played a huge part in this song!!
There's people who say Presence is a bad album. I don't know what they're listening to. About 95% of other bands could have made a successful career off the material in the album .
this and achilles last stand have been my favourite bangers for decades ''m m m m monkey on my back, m m monkey on my back back back back' also how can a mouthorgan be played so dang hard like a train whistle
Nanananananoooo..body’s fault but Zeppelin’s for this amazing jam! Love this tune, the way it starts and stops. My favorite on the album. It sounds like a bunch of dive bombers in the studio the way Bonzo is pounding those skins. Actually they did another song on Physical Graffiti by Blind Willie Johnson, In My Time of Dying. Check out the live version of this too. “Oh Jimmy!”
I'd never heard this song until Page played it with the Black Crowes & it was instantly a new favorite of mine. That man can play the hell out of the theramin too!
Love this song. Great to play on my guitar. Love the riffs. My wife calls this the “ding dong” song LOL. Love the Phasor effect too in the repeating intro bit.
They did it the entire 77 tour, listen to the bootleg from LA 1977, it’s called Listen to This Eddie. SRTS, Nobody’s Fault and Ten Years Gone are the great live versions ever. You can listen to the whole concert on you tube. The chemistry between Page and Bonham are at an all time high.
living thru the era of Zep, they were RARELY played on the radio, compared to other artists of the same age. At least I didnt hear as much. I heard more of it from brother musicians than on media. As a bassist I developed a lot of respect for the rhythm section of Jones/Bonham. Didn't matter what Page/Plant did on top, John Paul and John kicked it and kept the pocket tight.
You just HAVE TO react to the version of this song that they did at the Celebration Day concert in 2007. Jimmy's sustain at the end of those riffs is just FILTHY! In their late 50's and 60's - they killed it!
Love your reactions. This one was a good example of why I think you're one of the best. Though you wanted to pause, you resisted, knowing it would disrupt the rhythm of an awesome song. A masterpiece and good example of how special these four guys were. Also a good example of John Bonham's expertise. Not sure any other drummer could have filled his shoes and fit in so perfectly with a band like Led and their style. Particularly at that time. Hard to pick a favorite Zeppelin tune, but this one would get strong consideration. Very underrated, as is the album, "Presence". Heard you're doing "Candy Store Rock" next. Another gem, and example of what made this album so good. "Hots On For Nowhere", Achilles Last Stand", heck, the whole album is awesome. Led Zeppelin was quite possibly the greatest Rock band of all time. I was very fortunate to see them live in 1977. Led live was an experience of a lifetime. And hard to believe the ticket was only 8 dollars!
Presence was always the Zeppelin album we'd put on when we just couldn't decide on what to listen to. Each song is very unique and this one is one of their best.
This is one of the few Zep songs, IMO, whose live versions never measured up to the studio cut. The studio cut is full of angst, anger, piss, and vinegar. This was a dark time for the band, and the track perfectly captured the dark mood and desperation of the band. They sound like cornered animals, and are intensely great here. I have concluded that the reason they never quite captured the desperation and angst of the studio cut was because they recorded it at "rock bottom" for the band - the most filthy and depressed moment of the band's existence....and they were never this low again......until they lost Bonham, and it was over. Majestically powerful.
You hit it, their live music in the late seventies wasn't up to par, especially when you compare it to MSG in 73, when they were at the top of their game, Robert losing his voice, the car wreck, and then losing his child, plus the drug addiction, they were definitely at a low point, but I believe they were turning it around until Bonzo's passing :(((
@@Ledzepnut if only plant had his 71 voice during the filming of the song remains the same.... my dad saw them in oakland 1977 and said it was good but he was disappointed in page...
@@Ledzepnut I agree the dependencies were a big issue, especially for Jimmy....and I agree that they were starting to turn it around when Bonzo passed. If only.
@@eye5856 They were "hit-and-miss" post-1975, mostly due to drug dependencies (mostly Jimmy). Robert's voice was erratic at times, but Jimmy really drove that bus. When Jimmy was "on," the show was great, and vice versa.
one of my all time favs. that harmonica is blistering. and yeah you said it DIRTY. i finally caught up to you because like you're listening in order i'm listening to your reactions in order. can't wait for a couple. i don't even want to give away what i'm waiting for you to listen to.
This is one of those great Zeppelin songs that I think most people don't know (and Zeppelin fans themselves forget) comes from the Presence album. The majority of times I've listened to it were on either the Zeppelin box set or Mothership best of album.
I don’r understand why so many Zep fans get upset that other Zep fans don’t rank this album higher. It is because they like other Zep albums better. If it were the other way around, guess what - same thing. Simple, no?
I love how the harmonica and guitar solos play the same thing, as they did on "You Shook Me" from the first album, although it included the keys as well
"Presence" is my favorite album from Led Zeppelin, although I'd say that "Physical Graffiti" is probably their best. But I didn't really get into "Presence" until a few years after it was released. I needed some background music while doing some major assignments for some course at college. I put side two on infinite repeat mainly just to have some sound drowning out what was going on around me. Somewhere around the fourth or fifth time it played I started to get really drawn into it, especially _"Nobody’s Fault But Mine"_ and _"Tea for One"_ (but then those two songs account for about two-thirds of the side!). The more I played it, the more I liked it.
A tragically under-rated album, hated, even, by some Zep fans. Yet it has two out of three of Jimmy Paige's favourite solos on it: Achilles Last Stand and Tea For One.
There was a Christisn rock group called The 77's who did a version of this song by using the style of Zep but going back to the otiginal blues lyrics on an album called Drowning with Land in Sight. Interedting to compare.
If you heard this and the Blind Willie Johnson song side by side, without the lyrics, you would never know this is a cover. It's only because of the lyrics we know the relationship between the two. I am in no way putting the Blind Willie Johnson original down, it is a work of genius in it's own right.
By this stage of the 70's punk and disco was huge and LZ was seen as an old style of music. I bought this when it came out and my friends thought I was a weirdo.
Don't understand why this album is not as popular. There's some brilliant songs. My particular favourite is Tea for One. But on listening again it might be this one
When you get to live stuff from this album….I would say this is a must. You have live from Knebworth and live from O2. Both are excellent . I have preference for O2 just because I think Jimmy is in better shape, and Robert’s voice is better than Knebworth…..IMO but yeah, it’s not Bonzo. A definite one would be For Your Life from the O2……only time it was ever played live and they knock it out of the park. And you can tell they know it….they were all smiles…
After lunch, me and my buddies would listen to Nobody’s fault ❤❤but mine just before auto shop
That bass/drum drop from Jones and Bonham is just filthy dirty goodness!
neck snapper!!!100%
When that blues harp tears in, so beautiful
I've said this a million times ... Presence is the most under rated, under played Zeppelin album. It is the band at their pinnacle.

But for all of the album's shortcomings, it's amazing how good they still sound, considering the dire state Page, Plant and Bonham were in.

And Bonzo's alcoholism was absolutely raging, by then. Jones was the only bandmember living a relatively normal life.
Yet with all that adversity, they still managed to crank out filthy gems like this (and epic rockers like "Achilles' Last Stand") - that shows the depth of their bond and sheer musicianship.
It's why they always leave me in awe.

Yup
It’s always funny watching people’s mind being blown like mine was in my youth hearing Led Zep. We have all been there my man.
ONE OF THE BEST LED albums. I was 15 in 1977 when I heard this EXPLODING BRAIN!!!
The moment you realized that sound was a harmonica was mint. :)
46 years old and smokes ANYTHING from this century.
I’ve never been able to listen to any LZ songs turned down, the dial must go up to 11!! ✌🏻
Nasty, filthy kick drum.. omg.. and Robert slaying the harp!!!

Perfectly said, and I too match whatever mood I'm in to the wide palette of Zeppelin songs...and they fit like a glove!
Same here. I can't pick a favourite, it's impossible with Zep. This one just makes me happy to be alive!
Right on. I got a play list for driving to work, a playlist for going to sleep, & Salvo for making every day just a little bit better!!!
Me too, Henrietta! BTW….howdie! 👋
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 How do? :)
Absolute Banger!!! The 4 musical geniuses at it again.
This is quintessential Zeppelin. It has all the elements.
He beats the 💩out of his drum kit! Crushes that crash ! Simply amazing group, the best ever……
All albums of Zeppelin are FIRE!! I love them all! They all 4 are GOATS of their instruments !! Plant in the harmonica is fire!!🔥🔥 it really played a huge part in this song!!
This song is killer. Best song on the album. Severely underated.

Each time he says, nobody’s fault but mine he says it in a slightly different way each time❤
One of the heaviest songs ever committed to tape. Pure and absolute thunder.
Bonham is ferocious on this. Everyone is but damn , Bonham was so good.
this and achilles last stand have been my favourite bangers for decades ''m m m m monkey on my back, m m monkey on my back back back back' also how can a mouthorgan be played so dang hard like a train whistle
I LOVE this song.
You should check out their 2007 Celebration Day version of it too.
Their music is timeless!!!
I saw this tour in 1977 and was totally blown away by this "new" music that they introduced!
This tune is really one of Zep’s top 10, maybe even top 5. So many amazing things going on, but Plant’s harmonica work is off the charts
Jimmy’s solo at the end is vicious.
In my top 5 for sure! I just love everything about it, it's got everything! It definitely should be more popular than it is
They are all good albums!! It's incredible how they just stayed strong through out their career
My favorite song on Presence
That is rock n roll right there. Blues given back to America by four English guys.
Love this song. It's in my top 5 LZ tunes. The 'pregnant pauses' should be a staple in every music class!!!
The ‘pregnant pause’ is a great way of putting it. Talk about giving birth to an amazing tune!
Hots on for Nowhere has some nice little pauses too.
Nanananananoooo..body’s fault but Zeppelin’s for this amazing jam! Love this tune, the way it starts and stops. My favorite on the album. It sounds like a bunch of dive bombers in the studio the way Bonzo is pounding those skins. Actually they did another song on Physical Graffiti by Blind Willie Johnson, In My Time of Dying.

This song got me into zeppelin in 1980 at 7 years old
My favorite Zeppelin song🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥Robert Plant playing the harmonica
Had to click on this one, as it's always been one of my top Zep songs
Your channel has only one direction to go......straight up - when including The Mighty Led Zeppelin!
I'd never heard this song until Page played it with the Black Crowes & it was instantly a new favorite of mine. That man can play the hell out of the theramin too!
Love this song. Great to play on my guitar. Love the riffs. My wife calls this the “ding dong” song LOL. Love the Phasor effect too in the repeating intro bit.
Lol, makes sense. I also call the " monkey on my back" song lol
I love this song! They did it live...fabulous but can't remember when or where! Robert on that harmonica!!
Yes Robert + harmonica = pure joy!!!!
Official live versions in Knebworth, and 02 both are amazing!
They did it in Cincinnati in 1977, and I think on the whole tour.
They did it the entire 77 tour, listen to the bootleg from LA 1977, it’s called Listen to This Eddie. SRTS, Nobody’s Fault and Ten Years Gone are the great live versions ever. You can listen to the whole concert on you tube. The chemistry between Page and Bonham are at an all time high.
This song was played at virtually every show on the 1980 European tour, Julie.
Another LZ song I forgot about! Going straight to my Spotify. Fricken gem.

As Jimmy Page has said over the years Zeppelins music was about light and shade, and in so many of their tracks you get it all.

This is definitely in my top five and primarily because of the drums and the harmonica
I have long held that Presence is the most brutal music ever laid down on disc.
another song you must see the live version of "celebration day" . Robert playing a beautiful harmonica
Yet another very good cover which was Zep`s speciality.
You should see this on the Celebration Day Live Blu-Ray. Very powerful performance.
I love how the harmonica and guitar solos play the same thing, as they did on "You Shook Me" from the first album, although it included the keys as well
Best band of all time
I really like the stop and go of the band. The timing for that must be difficult at best. Another great song on this album!
This is one album I never get tired of listening to , I bought the day it hit the store !!
This is my favorite Zeppelin song ever
Great song..... It is soooo good or dope
As they say
Love the harmonica solo!
"Presence" is my favorite album from Led Zeppelin, although I'd say that "Physical Graffiti" is probably their best. But I didn't really get into "Presence" until a few years after it was released.

How fuxkin good is Led Zeppelin!!! Harmonica just blows it up to another level too, the ending is SICK as well - ok now GET BACK TO THE REST OF 2112!
I think this is the 1st album I actually bought the day it came out. Great freaking album...
Me too! It was actually the first album I EVER bought. Still my favourite album of my favourite band ever
One of my favorites
Got to play the live at Knebworth.... "oh Jimmy!!!" 🤣
A tragically under-rated album, hated, even, by some Zep fans. Yet it has two out of three of Jimmy Paige's favourite solos on it: Achilles Last Stand and Tea For One.
I loved this song in the early 70s. It’s does start slow but when it gets to the harmonica, it’s awesome.
Love this song. Great harmonica by Percy. Watch the live version of this from Knebworth 1979.
Dude....Every L.Z. Knows it all. This tune is GREAT! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They have the most big songs that it's so hard to know which is a favorite
One of the few Zep songs that as a causal guitar player I can play very well.
There was a Christisn rock group called The 77's who did a version of this song by using the style of Zep but going back to the otiginal blues lyrics on an album called Drowning with Land in Sight. Interedting to compare.
A fav also , they did it when I saw them
I f'n love this song.... :-) Nothing else to say about it. 🙂
Zeppelin's catalog is so deep that some albums/songs get lost in the shuffle.
After "Physical Graffiti" it was a tall hill to climb.
It is one of the reasons asking Zep fans to name their favorite songs is like herding cats.
“Having an Overload”. Yep.
Yeah one of their best 👍
If you heard this and the Blind Willie Johnson song side by side, without the lyrics, you would never know this is a cover. It's only because of the lyrics we know the relationship between the two. I am in no way putting the Blind Willie Johnson original down, it is a work of genius in it's own right.
By this stage of the 70's punk and disco was huge and LZ was seen as an old style of music. I bought this when it came out and my friends thought I was a weirdo.
It’s in my LZ top 5. Extraordinary cover.
Love that searing flange on the intro
Hot damn great reaction!!!! I heard this when it first hit the airwaves- super job!
TEA FOR ONE!! TEA FOR ONE!! I am going to immediately look for you reaction to TEA FOR ONE! See ya there!
Don't understand why this album is not as popular. There's some brilliant songs. My particular favourite is Tea for One. But on listening again it might be this one
killer song
Very popular back in the day
Robert can play a mean harp.
I don't have this on CD yet, but I've had it on tape. Guess it's time to upgrade.
Purceys harmonica was awesome
I really like it. This song is going back on my main playlist
They did this when I saw them.
Bonzo's drumming on this is sensational... 🥁😎
Bonzo's drumming on [insert song title] is sensational 8-P
When you get to live stuff from this album….I would say this is a must. You have live from Knebworth and live from O2. Both are excellent . I have preference for O2 just because I think Jimmy is in better shape, and Robert’s voice is better than Knebworth…..IMO but yeah, it’s not Bonzo. A definite one would be For Your Life from the O2……only time it was ever played live and they knock it out of the park. And you can tell they know it….they were all smiles…
