Page & Plant perform a killer version of “the Wanton Song” from their 1995 No Quarter tour:

The Wanton Song is on the second disc of Led Zeppelin’s 6th studio album “Physical Graffiti”. The song is said to be about sex due to some sexual innuendos in various verses. The dictionary definition of "Wanton": Sexually indiscriminate: lacking restraint or inhibition, especially in sexual behavior. The band wrote this song during a jam session. Led Zeppelin played this live on some of their 1975 American and European dates, but it was never played on the 1977 and 1979 tours. Jimmy Page uses a heavy chorus and several over-layered guitar tracks that give a "backward echo" effect during the guitar solo, where the echo is heard before the note. Robert Plant has expressed on several occasions that this is one of his favorite Led Zeppelin songs.

Lyrics to The Wanton Song:
Silent woman in the night, you came
Took my seed from my shaking frame.
Same old fire, another flame, And the wheel rolls on.

Silent movements through the flames, you come
From the deep behind the sun
Seems my nightmares, have just begun
Left me barely holding on.

With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand.
When we know the time has come
Lose my senses, lose command
Feel your healing rivers run

Is it every time I fall, That I think this is the one
In the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun.

Silent woman, my face is changed
Some know in ways to come.
Feel my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheels rolls on.... rolls on.
