This song inspired a lot of people to play harmonica, and this recording just strips it back to a few older blokes jamming.

What great timing…this song (and some Zeppelin tunes featuring harmonica) have definitely played a part in me finally picking up a harmonica to learn. I’ve just recently learned The Wizard and have had a blast with it.

Yup, it’s one of those I’d love to have in my repertoire at some point:

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone’s happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic.

Well, at least it says in the video description that it was “The band’s final studio recordings” – 
I think that Ozzie would benefit greatly from the intro class offered by @Luke .
