Since I've Been Loving You and Tea for One Reaction have a lot in common.

[@Ed9870]

Page chose his solo on this song among his top three, the others being Stairway and Achilles. Tea For One is powerful in places, and light as a feather in others. Delicate, monstrous, regal. Like Led Zeppelin themselves.

[@LatinBostonH8ter79]

He did the overdubs for that entire PRESENCE album in one night. Dude was legit laser focused on his work, despite smack starting to take over his life.

[@davidgreene7676]

a journey by which jimmy takes us...thats jimmy..enough said

[@jonrhythm3686]

Lest we forget that arguably the main reason Zeppelin could do big epic songs like this is because Jimmy laid down the law from the very beginning with the record company that they would not do singles. Gotta be the smartest move in all of Rock music for my money. Damn right STB, he is a Wizard.

[@oombaclyde5736]

He dressed like Merlin while parading around Boleskine House. A wizard indeed.

[@kensalazar5066]

Their whole record deal was the best in history, Page and Grant had full control. Atlantic Records had absolutely no say..one reason they released the 4th album " UNTITLED " with nothing on the cover ..at all to indicate what it was.. Record company called it musical suicide..

[@catherinefourfeathers2079]

Agree with your take on Bonham, he LEAD THE WAY for so many songs, leading/shifting each instrument - miss his drumming greatly, since he died & the band broke up - the orchestra Page & Plant worked with after was incredible - the drummer & Bassist on this LIVE concert were amazing, in lieu of Bonham & John Paul Jones… Zeppelin were the best mix of rock & blues & Cajun - toss in an orchestra for good measure etc - downloads of magical music - not from this planet…like so many others from the era…a wonderful time to be alive - TY for these Reactions…nice to see our old classics are being appreciated all these decades later…

[@sicotshit7068]

I would have loved seeing a live performance of Tea For One, back in the time, with the original band. The four of them were just magic together, & no other band even compare. The studio was Plants raw true feelings, after their car accident, wanting to be home with his family. Not knowing if he’d ever walk again, & his wife Maureen almost losing her life. He felt Page & Grant didn’t understand what he was feeling, they just wanted to get an album out because of not touring.

[@JoeandAngie]

Jimmy's production is 2nd to none. As is his, guitar playing, of course. Ledhead since 10yrs old in 72. Jimmy could place sounds in your head any place he wanted. Great rxn, man.

[@seancromwell327]

Since I been loving you & Tea for One should be played back to back!

[@ryanr5319]

I adore the fact that you referenced Pagey as a "wizard." :-) Your insight into the foundation on the welcoming shoulders of Bonham is shared. Additionally, the dual to how his drums speak as does Mr. Page's guitar. Love your videos good sir.

[@richardkersey4960]

Tea for One and (Since I've been loving you) are the 2 songs that taught me how to play the Blues. The feel and spacing are incredible. I pretty much learned my groove and phrasing from Bonham. Achilles' last stand is about young friends who begin their journey into adulthood and life's adventure during the Trojan War and the return home of the Odyssey.

[@Mboogie69]

I agree that this song is one of their best yet it’s more of a hidden gem. Can’t even say how many times I’ve just zoned out on this one. Glad this finally loaded to the channel

[@sicotshit7068]

Sadly many of their best songs, weren’t really played on the radio, so many don’t realize just how amazing they really were/are.

[@nigelthomas589]

Tea For One is one of my favorites with its phenomenal 'goose flesh' solo with sublime choice of notes and arpeggios finding new inner melodies and opening new spatial and temporal possibilities-Magisterial Page playing and production!

[@drj602]

Dear man, Listeners of your sensibility do not come around the pike everyday my friend. Thank you for the joy.

[@SoulTrainBro]

My pleasure!

[@coleenandera794]

Since I've Been Loving You, Tea For One, and You Shook Me all remind me of walking into a smokey blues club and being blown away by the sound.

[@margaretgerhold5922]

I swear I can feel that guitar plucking at my heart. Robert's voice at my soul.

[@campcrafter4613]

You totally understand Led Zeppelin! Welcome to the family ! In a fun way.

[@markiosty8748]

Jimmy's solo is a masterpiece !

[@fredyoung9384]

Tell me a band that was more dialed in. I wish this was here today. Genius.

[@PeterTea]

What a song! And that intro always kills me. I wonder if that was going to be another song and they just tacked it onto the front end of this song. With all the superlatives that you can throw Zeppelin’s way, I guess you can tack on clever as well.

[@SoulTrainBro]

I thought the very same about two different songs.

[@unclejessiesrodshop8432]

@@SoulTrainBro The beginning of the song was the "good times" and the rest of the song, well...

[@darrylbennett4297]

I agree that this is a sister song to Since I’ve been loving you, the main difference is that they’re actually wounded in life when they recorded this. They were at the height of their powers and ascending during the recording sessions for LZIII

[@christopherhuot2826]

Dude you are the mellowist guy I've ever,seen!!! Love it😊

[@nightman6016]

Great reaction man, glad to see you giving this masterpiece the praise it deserves :)

[@freethinker--]

This song is so overlooked,it has always been my favorite Zep song.

[@cjo2012]

Hey STB, having taken in your reaction and having read some of the fellow hard core ZepHeads insights below, I'd like to lay another, possibly different, angle of appreciation on ya my dude. Way back IN 76' when this came out, I would do something that for a number of reasons hasn't been in my life experience since the 80's. And that is listening WITH someone: In either silence, or with one of those polite, half whispered comments you occassionally slip in during your listening section. I was 12 when Presence came out and my elder brother would put it on and we'd listen together but I hadn't lived near enough to have the maturity and life experience required to appreciate it anywhere near the level of feeling it invokes in me now. My brother was 6 years older and, at that age, 6 years is a huge age gap. But he is the one who turned me on to Zeppelin and always insisted that I not babble, but listen with him. Often he'd be pretty high and would sit on the bed and slowly sway, slowly rock, back and forth, almost like as when on heroin, which is a dark alley he would later join Jimmy in going down. Jimmy was in the THROES of a smack addiction during these sessions, and while I do NOT romanticize that at ALL, he joined the ranks of Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker and was playing at a level of depth, maturity, and emotion that can only be described as ineffable, truly sublime. Sublime has become an overused word, like 'awesome' to the point where it's meaning has become diluted. But the sublime is what I experience when I am immersed in listening to Tea for one. I'm a guitarist since the late 70's and while I've never tried smack, there's something I can't explain about having a bottle of red wine and a few joints of green bud and jamming along with this. But I'm getting away from my point. Watching your reactions is the closest thing I've had to listening to Zeppelin WITH someone, in DEEP listening, for over 35 years. You don't just pay attention, you EXPERIENCE with DEPTH. And you LOVE the blues, especially in the minor key, which is sadder than standard blase blues in 12 bar major. And I thank you for being our listening companion. You are a solid brother my dude and by the way, thank you for your service in the Navy. I'm also going to say what no white boy is saying: We who love and respect where Blues comes from, are obviously into having Zeppelin affirmed by a black brother. I think we feel it lends traditional street cred to Zeppelin blues, and affirms its legitimacy and gets approval. Black folks making reaction videos is all over youtube these days. I also LOVE when the young kids give Hip Hop a rest and listen to Zeppelin, the appeal is timeless, universal and transcendent of 'race'. There isn't black or white, there's just dark skinned or light skinned. Me? I'm a light skinned brother ya heard? 😇🤣😎💜 So thanks again for your energy and your affirmation. Peace and all best to you always and in all things. Since I've been drinking Tea for One. 🙏

[@sophicfire]

It is amazing how Jimmy blended 3 guitar dubs on this song, particularly in the beginning.

[@bobbyn.9773]

Bro I love that you are uploading some of your older videos..and this album was recorded and mixed and finished in 19 days with a brilliant production by Pagey like always ...and Tea For One is my favorite song in the album! Merry Christmas brother to you and your family!

[@margaretgerhold5922]

This is why Jimmy never needed a sax in his band. Goosebumps all over the place.

[@mikejacobson14]

I'm with you on that, Tea For One $ Since I've Been Loving You are about my two, very bluesy favorites. Thanks Shipmate!

[@SoulTrainBro]

Thanks for listening

[@chazbell754]

You appreciate Zeppelin,like I do,man!

[@williamweiss6128]

As a 62 yr old drummer love all Zepp as any drummer should but Presence is my favorite for Bonham teaching me his vibe. Legend. Lost art, Bonham grooving to the music.

[@johnelrick8945]

Page is easily up there with the best. Power, Precision and Passion.

[@helenespaulding7562]

This is SUCH a great blues by Zeppelin. Great live version from the Page/Plant tour MERRY CHRISTMAS Wayne!!! Oh…..just heard you say it was a back to back with live version. Cool !

My dear friend, you are easy to read when it comes music reactions. Yes, that guitar talks to me too, Bonham’s drums talk to me, JPJ’s bass/keyboards talk to me and Robert Plant doesn’t just talk to me, he comes through the music and makes love to my senses. It’s complicated. Lol. Love your reactions still. Have a very Merry Christmas, love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@gistechrep3816]

It's hard to pick a favorite, their best song. Each successive tune [that is new to you] becomes your next #1! And it's a subjective, based on your likes and styles that you love. That's the reason they are ranked the best hard rock band in history.

[@PeterTea]

"Swearing originated from the navy." I learned something today.

[@simonmadi1177]

Hands down the best song to slow dance to. Stairway To Heaven speeds up at the end, and makes it awkward to slow dance to. I danced to this song with a friend, cheek to cheek our bodies gyrating on each other. It was a magical moment.

[@robs.6891]

Robert wrote this album in a hospital bed in Greece, Where he & his wife were in a car accident breaking his leg. Yeah, English people pay 55% income tax Somehow i feel Robert's solo "Big Log " Makes Since i been Loving You / Tea for One. Makes it a trio

[@duanewelsh5611]

Had tickets to see Zepplin in KC show cancelled because of Plants accident. Heartbroken! Saw Page w/ the Firm, Plant on Solo tour.

[@75yellowraven]

As much as I love this, the live version from Japan with orchestra is even better. Just watching Jimmy in that is mesmerizing!!

[@bowtiefidenine]

I agree with both of these 2 songs 😅

[@randygumaer282]

I love all music Zeppelin, butTea For One is my favorite Zeppelin song, for me, it is their best original blues song a supreme British blues ballad. check out the Tea For One studio cover by guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa it's an epic homage to Led Zeppelin and the guitar skills of Jimmy Page.

[@dandrechsler6884]

Sorry it's taken so long for me to watch this reaction. The zeppelin song is probably my favorite and has always taken me to another place

[@IC27185]

There is one more even better than Since I've been loving you.. it's on the CODA

[@MrBedZeppelin]

Glad you found this Gem. I prefer the song that was written first. You never forget your first, right.? Tell me, what did Jimmy share, with you.? No, no don't tell me, that is between you and Jimmy!

[@lizroberts6257]

hendrix and Page. How to rank? I was lucky t see them both live; Jimi 2x-once in a small venue. Bottom line: Jimi is a God; Page is an Archangel.

[@timbrown2637]

I think this is the best blues song by a rock band ever! Bonham is easily the best less is more drummer ever!

[@duanewelsh5611]

Joe Bonamassa's does a good cover of this. Page and plant we're very special together!

Great album and a great song. Both often overlooked. Not sure how anyone can listen to this album and not conclude that John Bonham is arguably the greatest rock drummer of all time.

[@wesbeuning1733]

Love the orchestra in the live one. ...kinda funny they had to have a whole damn orchestra on top of their bassist, to play basically JPJ's part lol.

It's been said that this is the ONE time Zep 'repeated' themselves. Even if true, I'm cool with that. Just like I'm cool when my girl wants to 'repeat' getting it on. When it's the best, 'repeating' ain't no crime.
