I just think this song is the epitome of the Zeppelin sound✌🤘

Robert Plant was a great vocalist but my god could he play the harmonica as well. Thanks to you both for reigniting my love for this album after too too many years !

So right, love how it flows

The drumming on this by Bonham is out of this world!!

I've waited until this song before commenting. Yes JP was brilliant, RP both singing and harmonica were superb, JPJ was doing his bit which was fantastic, but Bonzo reached the stratosphere. His drumming just proved once again that he was and is still the Master of his trade. This album ( Australian point of view ) was not widely accepted at the time of release. LZ were on a different track with this album and this threw some people. By 1978 I had purchased my first NAD sound system which was setup in the spare bedroom. It was a Quadraphonic system and the speakers were the best I could get at the time. I put the record on and lay on the floor in the middle of the speakers and played Presence. I thought that it was okay. However, when I played it the second time some days later I got to appreciate it more. This happened the more I played it. Some radio stations at the time really gave it a hard time, which I believed wasn't deserved. FM was just starting out here so one was stuck listening to it on AM which did nothing for the songs on album shows that played them. For me personally this is the tour de force of Bonzo's playing. This album is amazing and nearly 5 decades later still stands up with the rest of LZ's catalogue.

Absolutely amazing!

Traveling riverside blues must be reacted to!

DJ Robert Plant is the singer and harmonica player, Jimmy Page is the guitarist: electric and acoustic, John Paul Jones is the piano, mandolin and bass player, John Bonham is the drummer. Remember this trivia DJ.

This is my all time fave Zep song right here!! This is the perfect example of each member's top musicianship while also putting on full display how tight they were as a band with the way they would stop and start perfectly together on cue and in tempo.

What Led Zeppelin did between 69 and 79 can never be duplicated again.

Thank you, thank you for reacting to one of my fav LZ songs.. Definitely in my top 5. This song is the gold standard for Pregnant Pauses!!

Another excellent track. If you have the notion I think you'd like the Page and Plant Unplugged version too. That would be an idea - to do the whole album 'No Quarter - Unplugged' after 'Coda'. There are a few non Zeppelin tracks on it. Also would you be reacting to double live album 'The Song Remains the Same' and/or 'Celebration Day'?

I love this album but this is my favorite song off this album

Was the first Led Zeppelin song I heard back in the day. Made me buy an harmonica. ;-)

Zeppelin 1 you shook me he uses the harmonica you can see it on official video 1969

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!

It’s nobody’s fault but Zeppelin’s for that eargasm.

Four English geniuses , playing music with west African roots Mali ,via the mississippi Delta, there will never be another group like or near led zeppelin on this side of armageddon.

Their sound on this song perfectly captured the madness that was swirling around the band at this time. As great as they are as a live band, I've never heard a live version that captured the raw anger and anxiety of this studio version. I think this track perfectly captured the desperate mood of a band surrounded by angst.

Quintessential Zep. It has all the elements. #HammerOfTheGODs

I’ve never listened to Led Zeppelin until I started following your channel. I’m discovering LZ as you’re discovering BTS. I’ve recently listened again to Disturbed’s cover to Sound of Silence. I’d love to see you guys react to that.

The guitar intro is Epic!...Scary sounding. in '76 there was Kiss and Aerosmith, my brother's pal brought this over, dropped the needle and I was totally mesmerized. I was 10

Bonzo really went crazy with the double kick bass on this album and Physical Graffiti.

My God how I love this song!

Bohnam after The MONKEY ON BACK lines crushing it!!!!

One of Bonzo’s FINEST moments….

great track :) always loved this one

This song is a re-working of a Blind Willie Johnson song and follows the "call and response" style that Robert and Jimmy were able to pull off so well. If I'm not mistaken, if you listen very closely, when they do the abrupt stops, you can barely hear Bonzo counting them back in. Another underrated gem.

:29 Jimmy Page casts his hook near DJ :49 DJ notices the shiny fly 1:00 Jimmy Page tugs the line slightly 1:10 DJ swims towards the hook... 1:25 DJ is hooked!

The 77's do a cover of this that is the complete lyrics and, if possible, a better, cleaner guitar solo by the fabulous Mr. Mike Rowe.

This may sound odd. But I’ve always felt that the end of the song is VERY “punk”. I would argue this is a predecessor to punk rock. Simple chord structure (relatively speaking) and heavy in the “push” of his voice. Listen to early late 70’s to very early 80’s punk and then this. Anyhow. Great react. Underrated gem of a song. The harmonica is unreal. Do some blues traveller :)

"Communication Breakdown" was THE predecessor to Punk - 1969. Punk existed when this was recorded. A nod is as good as a wink, I suppose.

Punk was in existence long before The Ramones, The Pistols, or any of the other pseudo-punk, snarling, spitting, lobotomized drones immerged.

Yo DJ I bet that Buckeyes Ball is getting a little heavier to carry after Saturday's game ??

Love that song 🎵

I think people forget how awesome Led Zeppelin was and a lot of younger people have no idea. Compared to The Stones, The Who and Black Sabbath they don't get near the recognition, probably because of the comparatively short amount of years the band was together. But make no mistake, between 1969 and a few years after Bonham's death into the early 1980's there was no more popular hard rock band and no one got more radio time then them. They also had a huge influence on heavy metal and some of their songs are arguably some of the earliest heavy metal.

Yeah there's that old microphone and I can't tell you what model it is but there's a particular one that they use for harmonicas and it gives it that warm tone I like when Bonham does Gap Triplett and then the two beads and then he switches it up where was a gap between the two beats and the triplets and then he changed it up a little bit you know you think it's going to do one thing and it does another fucking guys

This and Achilles Last Stand are as great as anything Zep ever did.

Sounds like Jimmy and Robert picked up some Indian influence when they visited, during Roberts leg injury recuperation

Love this Tune, what guy doesn’t! Cus we all know why! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@uncnorseman2067 I believe Michael Roe of the 77s once said this. "Here's a song that Led Zeppelin stole from Blind Willie Johnson and we're stealing it back." (of course playing off U2's declaration on the Rattle and Hum cover track, "Helter Skelter") kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYOs2dGEornSY84.html

'I wasn't ready' (part 32). Count to ten, or some other means of preparation! 🤔

That is correct !

You know…,,I’ve watched this journey through Zeppelin that you guys are doing, and now we’re on Presence. I’ve come to a conclusion. I could be wrong, but I honestly think that DJ doesn’t like Zeppelin all that much. Which is fine. But come on…..he’s not interested enough in the band to have a clue as to who plays what…..by the 7th studio album! ?? Besides, how could a drummer, or a keyboardist/bass player play harmonica at the same time? Think about it. I was waiting for him to guess Jimmy Page next…🙄

Robert Plant, ripped off harmonica and a big fan of Sonny boy Williams, harmonica style playing An interview Robert Plant gave to Rolling Stone magazine highlighted the blues star’s irascible nature. Plant loved going to blues festivals and, aged 14, he introduced himself to the legendary harmonica player at a urinal. Williamson responded with a curt “f__k off”. Plant reportedly then snuck backstage and helped himself to Williamson’s harmonica.

Pretty good record but not their best
