This bit of awesomeness is why I do youtube searches for odd things like "hurdy gurdy"

I don't think I'd ever seen the hurdy gurdy played before. I had been under the misapprehension that a hurdy gurdy was a barrel organ, probably because that is the impression we're given in translations of the last of Schubert's Winterreise. I was very impressed both with this performance and with the sound the hurdy gurdy makes, and it fits in perfectly with Plant and Page's music. Thanks for sharing!

That was neat

It was also interesting to hear the sound guy cleaning it up as they went. At the start the sound is pretty distorted but it's much better by the time he starts to rock out.
