My favorite song of this band.

This song is Robert's growing sarcastic cynicism with the LA cocaine/drug scene and the rock scene in general. You can hear the weariness in his voice. He said it was a dig at someone he knew and cared about and how she was getting deeper and deeper into drugs. It's in the lyrics; "And she said, 'Don't you want it, don't you want cocaine, cocaine, cocaine?'" and later in the song when he sings "On the balance of a crystal, paying through your nose." you can hear a loud snorting sound. As I said, this is a very intense album where the cracks of dissatisfaction and disillusionment are really showing through.

Spot on. Of course. 😘👋. And more than a little pissed off with Jimmy and his drug use, and the crunch of the contractual deadline they were under. Robert was not in a good place by then for allot reasons. I think the beginning of his emotional distancing from Zeppelin as an “affair of the heart” as he put it years later.

Also, there is something intensely real about their exhausted feel that emanates from this song. In other words, they're so emotionally spent from their own personal trials yet they manage to knock this out and raise their musicianship to another level. Immense respect!

The way John Paul Jones subtly alters the bass line after the solo is sublime. Perfect example of why they're the best Rhythm section in rock. They're just so laid back.

This song is just one of several bangers on this album that often get overlooked when discussing Zeppelin.

This album actually rocks hard asf. It's not as experimental or fancy as the others and its not even my favorite album, but man it's a banger. Glad you guys liking so far and can't wait for yall to hear the other songs

Achilles gets the most praise from this album, and rightfully so, but For Your Life is just as good. That bass groove is just so thick and delicious, maybe even sensual if that makes any sense...

JPJ is such an unreal musician. Always on point without fail. This song - like so many Zep songs - is the deepest groove. This is considered to be a deep cut and it has like a dozen unique and creative hooks. Those guys were just absolute masters.

In fact, Presence ,the complete album..is underrated....stop..period...

This is a favorite on mine. I love how they let this song breathe. In places they play minimal music and there are touches of hardly any sound. Just adds to the groove or funkiness of the song.

I always loved this song.

LOVE this song. Plant’s push-pull with Jimmy’s guitar. The whole shebang. You guys gave it the reaction it deserves. Thanks!

Presence is right behind Physical Graffiti in my favorites list. Each song is unique, perfectly structured and performed. Great use of space. Next song, Royal Orleans, uses it nicely as well. Page's use of the whammy bar in the rhythm and lead creates great tension and energy. Also note that the bend and stretch of Page's guitar is echoed in Plant's vocals. These songs are evidence of the continued growth and mastery of the band in their playing and song writing. The four masters strike again, hard.

Often overlooked album. This album rocks, swings and grooves with dare I say a touch of Jazz?Bohnam is the foundation holding it all together as usual. JPJ the secret sauce on top of the foundation. Page & Plant with the texture. Just Led Zeppelin it. “Tea for One” is like “Since I’ve been Loving You” part 2 without the angst.

Those long notes are so beautiful.

You guys are having the same reaction that we did back in 76 or '77 when this album first came out. The first song is Achilles last stand and from there through the rest of the record you knew it was just next level led Zeppelin! The whole album.! Y'all have a great day! Peace!

That's a Crispy Creme Donut right there. Right out of the oven. So warm, sweet and creamy. Such an underrated tune.

See how you guys pick out each members contribution so infacticly. That's the true sign of a GREAT BAND!

This is my favorite Zep album of all time.

Just when you think it can't get any better it does. Still a lot of great songs to come

In my top 5 Zeppelin songs....that's saying alot.🔥🔥

I think one of ZEPS best songs. Enjoy how much you guys respect this material. Thanks and take care.

Genius's, no doubt! No one else sounds like them!!!!

Hanging it out over the edge, and snapping it with a time warp back beat. Mozart, Led Zeppelin, equivalent, but completely different. Basically, genius.

I forget how great this song is, your reaction reminds me, thank you

GENIUS

Probably Zeppelin's heaviest album, and the only one without any acoustic guitars.

I commented on your Physical Graffiti end song that Presence was killer, glad to see you witness why. Apex Zep here gentlemen.

Just wanted to thank you for being the first to react to one of LZ's hidden gems, it's always been one of my favorites.

This song Crush Crush Crushes! Killer bass/drums, smoking guitar riffs, deep ass vocals.

Could have or maybe should have been the 3rd disc on physical graffiti. Gotta love that snarl eh?😊

Top level!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

The farther down the rabbit hole you go, the more you realize what geniuses these guys are. The more you listen, the more you understand.

Cool fact Jimmy page recorded all the guitar solos in one gawd damned night for the entire album. Keep that in mind listening to the rest of this album.

When they played the final show with Jason sitting in for his Dad, this song was a request Jason insisted on. They had never played it live.

Such a different sound. Love it.

The Presence album contains many truly great Zep classics, underrated, without question. And yet, somehow to me seems jut missing something. And I don’t know why it is or even what it is. And I don’t want it to be this way. At all. Yet, it is.

This is the first time i have heard this song!!!! Surprisingly. I had y'all on just regular play on my laptop speakers. HUGE mistake. You were talking about a killer bass line by JPJ, (BTW- my favorite member of Led Zeppelin, He is a MUSICAL GENIUS!!!) So, I put my headphones on and was BLOWN AWAY.... The regular speakers of the laptop do not pick up the BASS. JPJ is Killing it on this track. Congrats, great reaction. Another classic by Led that is going in the rotation of my playlist. Thank you.

Since this is your first time ever hearing this song, I *have* to recommend at least one serious listen to the entire "Presence" album-- ideally, in one sitting, first track to last. "Presence" is not one of the most popular Zeppelin albums, but it has some of Page's and Bonham's greatest playing, and JPJ is on fire throughout the album too. "Nobody's Fault But Mine" is thunderous, and "Tea for One" is a great, haunting, slow blues song that is one of the lesser-known gems in the Zep catalogue.

Yeah definitely a tight groove. JPJ & Bonzo are in lockstep. Very few musicians today tackle this correctly **I saw Angeline Saris & Jeff Campatelli jamming at a show with friends do this quite well** but I saw Zep back in the day in Oakland and they were quite special

That is a SLEAZY groove!! Gritty/grungy jam!

Glad you did'nt skip this album?👍👍

As a 16 year old bass player who cut his teeth on JPJ and The Lemon Song...and thinking that was as good as it gets... album after album I soon realized that #JohnPaulJonesIsTheGOAT in my book ... Great reaction guys...thumbs up and shared.... gt

You will be very glad that you kept going through this album so underrated

Love how you are rediscovering the brilliance of the grooves. I'm so used to them i kinda forget how amazing the groove is

You guys are just so fun to watch and listen to! As I said in another comment, you get the little things, the nuances that add up to greatness. And I just love how you have been celebrating how amazingly versatile Led Zeppelin was. I remember standing in line at a record store in Houston, that stretched around the block, to get this album when it dropped. And when they came to Houston for their tour, fans overwhelmed all the ticket outlets and they brought firetrucks to spray the crowd and stop them destroying the record stores (who sold most concert tickets then, just as Ticket Master was getting big) but they couldn't stop disappointed fans from trashing them because the tickets sold out in two hours. TV stations were freaking out and the mayor even commented about the radical young rock fans needing to be contained. And they literally destroyed several Tower Records stores in Houston and other cities-- I never made the connection or thought about it, but that may be why record stores stopped selling concert tickets and let Ticket Master take over! Ahhhh, good times! You guys keep up the good work you're doing! I love you guys! You were born to do this!

Kudos for reacting to this song! For me it's one of their most heavy hitting, funk groove, in the pocket songs. And Page started using a Stratocaster on this album with the whammy bar for those deep dives. Bonham and JPJ - best rhythm section in rock music ever.

You’ll notice this album has no keys, strings or acoustic guitars. Their most straightforward album. This is Jimmy Pages album, while the following album In Through the Out Door has keys on every song. That is JPJs album, with almost all the songs written by him.

Love it! They always come up with something new!

This was my favorite from that album. I wore out a few turntable needles listening to this.

Kind of funny that the band got their start by finishing off the obligatory scheduled shows as the Yardbirds before changing their name and later releasing their self titled first album. Supposedly their name came from a comment from Keith Moon of the Who who had stated that the band would go down like a lead balloon and from that they came up with Led Zeppelin.

This is so freaking hardcore! They’re all just showing off. It’s not fair!❤

I think they were trying to intentionally do something here, like a dance track maybe..?? I know they liked hanging out in Disco's and Dance clubs and that was becoming BIG in 1976. Always loved this one.

This has become one of my favorites from Zeppelin!

They all put on a clinic, This album has Page's most emotional studio solos IMO.

Presence giving Presents. Great reaction!

TRULY the greatest rhythm section in rock history.

AHhhh!!Another Beautiful Day for This ol Rev!!!!Diggin Zep w/Brothers La&Che is the downright Religion I Need!

One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes!

Lots of time changes and different things happening in this one. Took me years to appreciate as much as I do today because of these sudden changes in direction. A fairly ambitious Zep song!

Enjoy, 'Presence' is my favourite Led Zep Album.

they do this song at the O2 arena gig and its the best song of the night. This song is underrated.

The appreciation you guys show for the songs generally and specific parts of the songs specifically is wonderful. I've listed at Zeppelin since the mid-80s when I was a teenager and discovered their music through a friend. I went though a long period of exploring other music, but now that I'm in my 50s, in a way I've rediscovered their music, and today, I hear it differently. I'm able to appreciate it more for the truly masterful musicianship, and the KZread reaction videos have further helped me love them more deeply by seeing other adults discover them and immediately catch on to what was special about them. Using words like "the best" is a very loaded and is subjective, but if I were pressed, I'd have to agree that they were certainly endlessly creative, always evolved in their sound, consistently surprising and dynamic...and had "band" sound. So....yes...maybe they were the best band. Led Zeppelin was a band in the most true sense. Each were masters of their instruments, but together they were magic. Not one single person could be replaced without changing everything that made them special. Keep going through the albums. You have lots and lots of more gems to unearth.

One of the best reactions ever

This and Driven to tears in the same day???!!!! Shit is happening on this channel. Love it!
