Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - The Wanton Song

January 9th 2021, it's the birth day of James Patrick Page "Jimmy Page", the English musician, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer who achieved international success as the guitarist and founder of the rock band LED ZEPPELIN.

So for his 77th birthday with a clip of a tune with Jimmy Page & THE BLACK CROWES.

In October 1999, Page teamed up with the CROWES for a two-night performance of material from the LED ZEPPELIN catalogue and old blues and rock standards.

Live at the Greek: Excess All Areas is a double live album by Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes, released by musicmaker.com on 29 February 2000 and reissued by TVT Records on 4 July 2000.

Contractual problems with their record company prevented the CROWES issuing any of their own songs played at the Greek shows. Also featuring Page with the band, these included "Wiser Time", "No Speak No Slave", "Remedy", and "Hard to Handle".

The double CD released in 2000 featured a different running order, an extra song, an enhanced QuickTime video and photographs taken during the concert. The Japanese version of the album adds "Misty Mountain Hop" and "In the Light", recorded in 2000.

Bassist Sven Pipien, who was fired between the two different releases of the album, was airbrushed out of the group shot that features in the centrefold of the TVT Records version and all subsequent vinyl reissues. The original image appears on the musicmaker.com CD and can also be seen on a Jimmy Page blog.

Today's tune "The Wanton Song" was not included on the album but was performed live as the opening tune and also performed live at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on August 14th, 2000. The tune was is orgninaly taken from their sixth studio album, 1975's "Physical Graffiti". It was developed from a jam session during rehearsals. Enjoy and happy birthday Jimmy
