  1. I recently made a post about the song and the hotel Royal Orleans. The posts were all so great that I wanted to make a post on the whole Presence album/CD. I love Presence. My least favorite cut from the album would be Candy Store Rock. I am not knocking Candy Store Rock but I like all of the others more. I will say that I much more prefer Candy Store Rock to the studio versions of some of the songs from III. Achilles is my favorite song from the album and that's probably not too big of a surprise. Achilles is among the hardest tracks the band ever did and it also showcases the whole band's talents. I have already said how I feel about Royal Orleans in my last post. (Great song. Should've been performed live.) The big surprise at the Celebration Day Concert in Dec. 07 was when they performed For Your Life. When the show was released I had people telling me how surprised and shocked they were at how good this song was. I wasn't. I was headbanging to For Your Life twenty plus years earlier. Nobody's Fault But Mine is true Led Zeppelin! If they weren't going to show off but two of the tracks from Presence then it would have been a crime for this not to have been one of them. People brought up Hots On For Nowhere. Yes! Yes! Yes! I could never listen to Hots On For Nowhere because I can't listen to this song without head banging - not a pretty sight. Tea For One always takes me on a journey. Achilles might be my favorite track from Presence but Tea For One is the deepest track on Presence; and they were correst in making it the album's closer. Tea For One always has sort of an anesthetic effect on me but yet it certainly doesn't put me to sleep. This should have been done live but at the same time I would have wanted them to keep it fairly close to the studio version, as they always did with: Kashmir, The Rain Song, and Stairway. I guess the '77 tour was supposed to be the Presence tour. I have never understood why they didn't showcase more of Presence on the '77 tour.
