One of their best songs! I don't know why anyone would consider this album weak, for me, it is incredible.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Sure is...they have no weak albums!

[@steverickenbacher7110]

I guess you had to be there. The album was not well received upon release. It was a bleak time in NYC (where I grew up) in the mid-70s, and the album itself is dark, brooding and a definite change in tone for Zeppelin. Add to that the fact that the band was going through a rough patch at the time, and you have a recipe for a less than happy album. Perspective is everything, and I do notice a ton of revisionist history where Presence is concerned.

[@eximusic]

One of my favorite Zep albums. I like For Your Life. Although these songs don't sound like pure blues, they really channel the spirit of the blues more than any other white artists.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

I agree with you, Someone said Presence is Zeps worst album. They're out their mind. Zeppelin doesn't have a bad song, never mind a bad album! This album cooks!

[@steverickenbacher7110]

@@edwardcapobianco2975 Yikes! You sound like a scientologist. LOL

[@neillenet291]

Can't understand why anyone would dislike this album. It's a great album.

[@smith9808]

So true, however it’s a testament to how great the previous 6 albums were as you can only compare it to them, which less face it, are considered better to the majority of people.

[@rbmtn4879]

Not sure anyone dislikes it, but Presence is problematic because it's frontloaded with four good/great songs, then the last three sort of peter out and are among their worst.

[@fearsomeforce2904]

I also think that people are not aware of this album because it received much less airplay than all the the prior ones. I also feel that folks who say the album is terrible have not actually listened to it carefully or at all!

[@neillenet291]

@rbmtn4879 They are among the worst songs to you, but plenty of people like them. Music is a matter of personal taste and its subjective.

[@vernhoke7730]

Never had any problems with this album. Bought it when it came out and listened to it dozens of times.

[@benshafer5198]

That screaming harmonica solo intro is everything 🔥. This track is a cover of an old Blind Willie Johnson song first recorded in 1928

[@BBaldwin]

Not really a “cover”. I prefer to say more of an interpretation..the arrangement is light years beyond Blind Willie’s.

[@kathybwell]

@@BBaldwin Led Zeppelin were masters at remastering old blues songs.

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

I couldn't agree more. Robert blows the roof off the dump with that harmonica! He is criminally underrated as a harp player.

[@obyvatel]

@@JohnWhite-xc3md More like not rated at all. Custard Pie, When the Levee Breaks, and NFBM, he's amazing

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Zeppelin doesn’t have 1 mediocre album ! All top tier 🔥❤️🎸

[@patches6309]

The tactical pauses in Bonz's drops? OMFG!!! His rythym is so complex but perfect GOAT DRUMMER EVER WITH NO EQUAL!

[@markiec8914]

The best or at least among the very best drummers in the modern era imho...

[@tnightwolf]

In this album i do consider this as one of the prime examples of why John Bonham is the greatest Rock n' Roll drummer ever!

[@MatthewStegeman-d7g]

Bonzo is the greatest of all time and it's not close.

[@clifton8929]

Killer cut from that album. It just keeps coming like a pitbull after an intruder. You can't get away from the groove, the slide guitar and drums bite down hard, then the harmonica - No Mercy. Runnnnnnnn!

[@gerardodoherty9178]

You can run...

[@m_v__m_v]

Well said lol

[@frankdascoli709]

This album is their most underrated and is chock full of badassery. Plant really rocks that harmonica as hard as anyone. So glad you guys kept going…..and please include the live covert album Song Remains the Same in your journey! It has so many iconic live versions: You already did TSRTS/ Rain Song and just the solo from Stairway but you must do the full song, along with a crazy 26 minute Dazed and Confused, stellar version of No Quarter, a phenomenal and very bluesy Since I’ve Been Loving You, a Whole Lotta Live medley that is just an amazing jam session. They really show their almost telepathic improvisational skills on the whole record/ concert. Please include that as part of their canon. You guys rock, love all your reactions. You guys know your music. Thanks for the vids

[@shmortisborg]

Im not sure thats a harmonica, I think it might be a guitar pedal similar to the one used on When The Levee Breaks and a few other of their songs.

[@frankdascoli709]

[@BuzzWreck61]

The greatest rock n roll song ever recorded. There…I said it.

[@tektoniks_architects]

One of the most ferocious, anxiety-ridden, angry Zep tracks in the catalog. Robert laying out the truth bombs - the mask is off.

[@juliemanarin4127]

This is amazing live too! Bonzo perfect timing...Robert on that harmonica...JPJ bassline...Jimmy fabulous guitar work...how can you get any better!

[@vicprovost2561]

I so liked it right away and it just got better over time, I can't wait for Tea For One, I saw Page/Plant do it in concert in 1998, they slayed it that night.

[@dandrechsler6884]

This album has always been under rated. But my friends and I have always loved it. It just didn't disappoint

[@JoeandAngie]

Yesterday I determined, while in my truck jamming to Presence loudly, that this is the greatest rock and roll song of all time.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Presence was intended to be a full-blown guitar exploration. It succeeded magnificently.

[@davidmastro5406]

JPJ and Bonham with that killer groove, and Plant with the best harmonica solo ever.

[@christianman73]

"Presence" is a hard rocking, bluesy, funky, beast of an album. I love it! As a Zeppelin fan for many, many years, I also urge you, *please* don't listen to the people who will tell you not to react to the next album, "In Through The Out Door." It's a different kind of Zep album in many ways, but it's brilliant. It doesn't rock as hard as their other albums, but it's still great, and *very* worthy of a reaction. "Carouselambra" is amazing!

[@JohnTurner313]

The bass on this song is HUGE!! 🤘

[@nikmills]

My roommate back in 1985 asked me a question while this song was playing. The timing was perfect when I responded, "N-n-n-n-n-n-n-noooo!"

[@andreweaves7975]

the 'harmonica' drop is the best in ALL of rock n roll......paired with john beating the hell out of his kit....best ''drop'' ever.

[@Ed9870]

Plant kicking everyone's ass from a wheelchair with a harmonica. Imagine what he would do standing up. I grew up outside of DC near Andrews AFB. When this first came on the air in Spring of 76, I pulled over because new Zeppelin on the radio required my full attention. When Jimmy Page came in with that sonic guitar intro, I thought the F-18's were taking off from Andrews. And then the onslaught continued as you just heard. It was that powerful.

[@markiec8914]

Dang I didn't know they recorded this album sometimes after Plant had a car accident. That's remarkable.....

[@Ed9870]

@@markiec8914 It was tough to get information in those days before internet. But apparently he and his wife, daughter and Page's daughter went off a steep turn on the Greek island of Rhodes while on vacation. Maureen Plant was almost killed and had to be airlifted back to London for transfusions. Plant suffered a dislocated ankle, which was reinjured during the recording of Presence when he tore his Achilles tendon after falling over speaker wires in the studio while on crutches. Thus the song Achilles Last Stand, which tells the story of being "in sandy lands on holiday" and so on. Unfortunately the rest of the album was recorded while he was wheelchair bound with this leg up. Remarkable vocal performance under duress.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Tightest, hardest record by Zep. Yes. Now you see why I've got Presence as my 2nd favorite Zep album. It shows that Zep just kept getting better and better in their writing, playing, producing. We can only imagine what they would have done if Bonzo hadn't died. Great stuff.

[@steverickenbacher7110]

We don't need to imagine.

[@dholte1]

Nobody’s fault but Zeppelin’s for this gem. It sounds like dive bombers in the studio the way Bonzo is hitting those skins. I love that start and stop rhythm. All of them are deep in their element. They have some great live versions of this too that you should check out. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@robertprice6830]

First album I bought was 2 then one. Then got them all in succession. Get this. I lost them all in a damn divorce. There are people who didn't want the band to progress with the music. That's why after Physical Graffiti some fans are not too keen on the albums after it.

[@juliemanarin4127]

[@eximusic]

Although it's a modern rock track, with even progressive sounding elements, the main guitar riff channels some deep Mississippi Delta blues.

[@onemotherpucker]

Hands down their most underrated album...way ahead of its time. 😛👍

[@sthubbins4038]

Over the years, this has become one of my top 10 solos by Jimmy Page. It’s not the flashiest, but it’s so beautifully paced and constructed, swinging and tight, subtly psychedelic with that intro (played by bending the strings BEHIND the nut!), adding some trademark “sloppy” runs, then sliding right back into an amazingly tasty bending lick that both elevates the song into the finale, and leaves space for Bonzo’s incredible drumming. Brilliant.

[@Gunnercoops]

Guys please tell me, do you think this sounds as if it could have been made yesterday, it’s still so fresh ?

[@jasongraham5648]

Their time signatures are so bizarre, in a GREAT way

[@matthewmarana4573]

This album was created during a difficult time for the band. There were more difficult times to come, as many Zep fanatics know. Newer generations were getting tired of big bands at the time, giving birth to the punk scene. Plant sang most of the album while in a wheelchair (Achilles Last Stand aka "The Wheelchair Song"). Drink and "other stuff" began taking it's toll on at least 2 members...😢 They had Peter Grant, but Jimmy was the boss and having his hand in everything was quite the exhausting task. HOWEVER...this album gets no where near the attention the previous recordings do/did. A shame because it is them at an amazing level, despite the distractions. ❤ You guys do a great job on your reaction videos. But I so eagerly await your Led Zeppelin reactions. Thank you for being true music lovers. Giving everything a fair shake! 👍🫵✌️🤙

[@kathybwell]

Wow, never knew Plant sang most of this album while in a wheelchair - that's so impressive!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Imo I think the suits started having way to much influence on the record business. Kathy b well good thing plants voice wasn't in a wheelchair 😊

[@davidmack9842]

Quick story; I bought the Presence CD right when it came out and took it over to a friend's house who had the most high-end stereo system I've ever seen…massive speakers and all the associated gear. We put it on and during Nobody's Fault But Mine we had it cranked when suddenly during Jimmy's solo one of the speakers cut out. We shut everything off to check it out, and the fuse in the back of the speaker had blown. And not just the fuse's little metal filament was broken, but the glass case that the filament was in had shattered. Such is the power of Led Zeppelin.

[@denisewright3179]

[@SnoBear626]

What a BOP! The blues cooked in fish grease.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This is a reworking of the song by Blind Willie Johnson. 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. People forget about this album more often than not, so I'm glad you decided to continue without getting sidetracked by doing live stuff or any other Zep peripheral material.

[@tnightwolf]

By far one of their best songs imo. Often overlooked (by "mainstream") but definitely just another banger song! Also a bad album (by critics) when, imo, is just another incredible piece of art!

[@charleymaysjr4177]
