That bass/drum drop from Jones and Bonham is just filthy dirty goodness!

I've said this a million times ... Presence is the most under rated, under played Zeppelin album. It is the band at their pinnacle.

[@AlphaLimaXray]

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.

[@13_13k]

@@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

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 .

[@charlesgervais4673]

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.

[@antarcticorb9197]

Agreed, what you just wrote should have been introduced into the court case they had.

[@ptxaholic]

I love this kind of history lesson! Lol

[@hifijohn]

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.

[@RobbHuman]

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.

ONE OF THE BEST LED albums. I was 15 in 1977 when I heard this EXPLODING BRAIN!!!

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

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?

[@antarcticorb9197]

Perfectly said, and I too match whatever mood I'm in to the wide palette of Zeppelin songs...and they fit like a glove!

[@eviekelpie1]

Same here. I can't pick a favourite, it's impossible with Zep. This one just makes me happy to be alive!

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.

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!

[@tektoniks_architects]

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.

[@Ledzepnut]

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 :(((

[@eye5856]

[@tektoniks_architects]

@@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.

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.

In a nutshell, this sounds nothing like the original and that is true with 99% of the music Zep allegedly stole. The jerkoffs out there who say they stole the music are just jealous because Zep is way better than their favorite bands.

[@jonasoverka3956]

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.

[@cazgerald9471]

My favorite song on Presence

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

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!

[@36karpatoruski]

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?

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.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

"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.
