The song came about as the result of a jam session at rehearsals and features a sharp, aggressive riff from guitarist Jimmy Page]]. Lyrically it is mainly about uncontrolled desire. Overview For his solo Page employed a backwards echo]] (where the echo is heard before the note), and also put his guitar through a Leslie speaker]] cabinet, to create a Doppler effect]] with a Hammond organ]]. This was a technique Page had himself used as far back as his work with the Yardbirds]], and faced serious scepticism from audio engineer]]s when he tried it on the earliest Led Zeppelin recordings. 'The Wanton Song' was played live during some of the Led Zeppelin's European and American Led Zeppelin concerts|concerts]] in 1975, but was then dropped. 'The Wanton Song' was played extensively as an opening number during Jimmy Page and Robert Plant]]'s tours in 1995 and 1998. The song was played live a few times when Jimmy Page teamed up with the Black Crowes]] in 1999.
