#JeffHealey
From Wikipedia:
Norman Jeffrey Healey (March 25, 1966 - March 2, 2008) was a Canadian blues, rock and jazz singer, guitarist, and songwriter who attained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. He reached No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Angel Eyes" and reached the Top 10 in Canada with the songs "I Think I Love You Too Much" and "How Long Can a Man Be Strong".
Jeff was a friend who always sat at our table while drinking a beer or two, during club concerts in Toronto... Amazing talent and showmanship playing guitar...plus Jeff's vocals were just simply phenomenal ! ❤🎸🎶
One of the greatest guitar players to ever play!
This guy blew my mind years ago and he still does even now in his passing.
Rest in peace good sir.
I was at this show. Good one!
Met him a few times at shows, a nicer guy you couldn't ask to meet and totally modest in regard to his talent. Taken from us way too soon, I'm just happy that we still have things like this so he'll never be forgotten and future generations can see what talent looks like and discover the joy he brought to so many. You can hear what a great sense of humor he really had here, and that smile, RIP Jeff, you're sorely missed. Thanks to whoever posted this, I cried but they were sort of happy tears.
he does a neat show but i saw him on his own with only his guitar and wow !! i fell in love with music right there !! u couldnt imagine the soul and the sex the blues the everything u needed right there !! damn he was an explosion and a girl off the streets came in and sang with his guitar and she was wicked !! a night that i could never forget !!!!
Miss Jeff..i was his chef at the roadhouse..highlight of my career working with Jeff and the many musicians who came thru the doors on bluejays way..cheers..Jeffs chef Darrell
The Great Jeff Healey
A blind man
Who could see the light
Great talent
An incredible, blind, blues musician and with a great singing voice that did what many of his peers could not, reach #5 on Billboard with his ballad "Angel Eyes". During the peak of his popularity, he appeared in the movie "Roadhouse" and had a very loyal fanbase, especially in his home of Canada. If you're watching this video, I'm most likely preaching to the choir, but Jeff was representing the blues with a group of rising young guitarists like Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, and many others. I only had the chance to see him once live and won't forget it. He left us still in his prime...way too soon!
Guy was phenomenal. So sad he's gone, but he left us some killer performances. Thanks for sharing this.
Got to see this man in Dyersburg TN back in the early nineties. Out of this universe...He is missed by many of us.
He never not moves me. Truly one of the under recognized masters.
Davvero impressionante.... Fantastico
Blues seems to be too simple for this genius !
Thank you Jeff Healey band and crew.
RIP Jeff. You was a Genius!
To all the people who don't know, Jeff Healey was blind, he sang and played the guitar in his own unique way, there are more blind people in history who played the guitar but Jeff was the most outstanding, Jeff was a virtuoso guitar player, thanks for sharing.
Nzinn73 Actually there is a guy named Rory Hoffman who plays like Jeff and is blind who In my opinion is just as good as Jeff, although he plays reverse strung and left handed. I would say Jeff is a better singer than Rory, and Rory plays a large number of other instruments like saxophone, piano Jeff's style is more rock and blues, Rory plays a lot of Jazz and country, as well as other styles. I know Jeff also played trumpe. Both are virtuoso musicians.
this is the first time i’ve ever seen him and after watchin him shred this hard you have the audacity to tell me he was also blind ????!! 😂 legendary player for sure wow
Like many famous players of the Strat, Jeff Healy is our first Canadian famous Strat player !
God bless the videotaper of this show…. wherever you are … 🌠❤🔥🌠
Thank You .... I am Here !!!!
You are still missed Jeff. RIP dude!
How did he die?
What a trip watching Jeff play.. the cat he’s playing with is good too.
He reminded me of the way Johnny winter played slide.
I see it but I can’t wrap my brain around how Jeff does it 👌
your sooo right !! jeff healey and johnny winter will always be my top 2 music influence ever !!!
He will never ever be forgotten 🇨🇦
Jeff Healy God bless you. It’s a shame I never saw you live . Till the end. I’m honored to have known your music
Mr. Norman Jeffrey Healey Rip 🎤🎸⚡🔥
Beautiful and heart touching words. Ty
Fantastic guitar player and vocalist
I'll say it. Jeff was unmatched. Possibly the best guitar player in the business. Makes my head spin every time I see or hear him play.
Seen Jeff live once and it was fantastic,one of the greatest guitar shows I've ever seen.
Same here.
Always loved Jeff Healy,great blues player. Also never miss Road House when it comes on. "The name is Dalton".
this is how i learned to play guitar when i was like 8 and it was just my way back then learning metallica riffs from my uncle. Now im 28 and play the normal way but it's crazy how far I could've progressed like this guy if i would've stuck to my way and not let my cousin and uncle dissuade me out of guitar back then because of the funny way I played.
One great Man. RIP ❤❤🙏🙏🌷😔
First time I found out about him was in that film about bouncers in a club ❤
Super ❤❤❤❤❤❤
he is beast on the guitar - to completely play blind, and in that unorthodox way so good, is not easy
Thank for sharing
A truly great player!! He is missed!!
Eccezionale, continuo ad amarlo... R. I. P. ❤
What a wonder ! Incredible. I saw him twice live. A pure pleasure. Thanks to bring such a master.
His voice is like Eddie Money's voice.
Great voice and guitarist he is.
Cool man!!!
Saw Jeff live twice. What a musician, still sadly missed.
Jeff was truly a nice guy... I met him once in Houston and he and I talked music for about twenty minutes...
I asked him if he realized his style of playing was like that of one of my favorite players, Thumbs Carllile... And Jeff knew Carllile's history as well as anyone I've ever discussed it with.
Sad to think he's gone.
"Jeff Healey" One of the greats in my book! 🎸
Most awesome 👍. Thank You ❤️
RIP JEFF HEALEY - THE GREATEST
What a great man
Blindness has made him a great musician with a super sharp ear.
He has to be top 10 guitarist all time.
Badass musician.
Gone way too soon, Comfort and Peace to his family 🙏😎❤️
Gracias por el video , su musica siempre vivira , dep
良い！
ウィンター兄弟デリンジャーを彷彿とさせるブルーズロック！
イイね！ 好き！
I saw a video with Jeff playing with SRV…man what I would have given to see that live. Two masters cranking it to eleven in heaven…RIP to you both ❤️
Hall of fame ...continue to r.i p. All time great...hands down ..thankyou for the memories ..
What a sad loss. He was a great player and song writer
I went to every TATS in 2001 and remember seeing this and heard of him but never saw him. I was mostly watching his hands and it didn't set in until a few songs in where I realized he couldn't see and I went from being blown away to completely without a doubt absolutely blown away. Definitely re-ranked by top guitarist list after seeing him.
This guy is crazy good
Flawless he was so so good, his tone is great here!. Saw him live a few times always put on a fantastic show.
Jeff puts a smile on my face each and every time, love this dude.
Der war einmalig!!! 😘😘😘👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Jeff was always a top notch class act.Big loss ,but also left us with great music spanning a great career..Thanks,prince of blues.
Brilliant! Incredible and gifted!
He’s up there with the greats for sure.
What an inspiration. 👍
thank you to the guy filming (selfi at 26:10?). here's to you Mr. Filmed Jeff Healy so that I can enjoy over 20 years later, man! Thank you.
no selfie .. thats not I !
just as amazing and mesmerizing today as it was then. ! wb
Mr. Norman Jeffrey Healey Rip 🎤🎸⚡🔥🤘😎
Jeff Healey, one of the GREAT guitarists.
Fantastyczny Gitarzysta !!!! Pamiętam lata 70-te... zrobił na mnie potężne wrażenie !
He actually came into the spotlight in the mid to late 80s in Toronto's jam scene. Extraordinary guitarist, a fkn monster, actually, imho, a strong, emotive vocalist a damn good cornetist, if I've got that right.
The single time I saw him he was sitting in with new blues-pop/rock belter Amanda Marshall as she premiered with her new band at Grossman's Tavern. It was Jeff's birthday, he was having a blast, everybody played their asses off. He was wearing a t-shirt with a cartoon dog on a seeing-eye harness staring down an open manhole and chewing his nails.
Ya know? I do believe, Jeff is the only man that has the voice and guitar prowess to do tribute to Mr. Dewars of the Robin Trower band. Their voices are a lot alike.
RIP Jeff.
tend to forget how good his voice was. wb
The guitar roadie had a hard time here!!! But the concert is outstanding. Jeff is unparallelled in playing style on the guitar with his finger on top. And also in terms of improvisation melody lines. A true master! He has some good slow songs, but his blues feeling is his legacy.
This is awesome 👍 thanks so much. God bless 👍
Это великий человек!!! Я рад что я жил с ним в одно время!!!
Talent don’t have to have eyes just the will to learn to play
AMAZING!🎸
Very outstanding musician! Really sad he pased away so early...
Always welcome more of Jeff! Thank you!
In the same likeness as another guitar master, Jeff can be placed with Jeff Beck as a musician who calls his own when playing
R.I.P you are now in God hands!!!!,,!!,, and God bless you!!!
Легенда! Спасибо за классное видео!
Thanks for the upload, always a fantastic privilege to see this legend play live. Damn unfair and such a shame he was taken away so young - it REALLY makes you wonder why so much evil in this world is 'allowed' to live waaaay beyond Jeff's short 41 years, especially given the events today with Putin...and every one of his regime !!!
That's because shit is just random. Everything doesn't happen for a reason.
Agreed!
So cool
Such a great singer rip
Fantastisch!
You should watch him play with Stevie Ray Vaughn to “Look At Little Sister”, he kept pace with SRV and what a performance that was. Both gone way too soon.
Master rip 🙏
Still legend with B.B,STEVE RAY E I NOSTRI ROBERTO CIOTTI E RUDY ROTTA E TANTI GRANDI
Just Crazy Great.
Great stuff! Thanks a lot 🙂
I seen a few guitarist that broke into a channel from Venus where there eyes rolled back in there head. Well Jeff I seen him a bunch of times like that but man he taken it where it's like that's impossible . If Jimi or Stevie was hear and I know Stevie was hear to Jam with him and said some remarkable things. He will for ever be missed.. RIP Jeff
That’s neither hear nor their.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! 🙏 #JeffHealey is always in our hearts, to the Road House in the sky. 💙
Jeff colocava alma nas suas músicas.
We miss you.
Rock hard
His eyes were in his fingers.
Это просто...феерия !
Someone needs to edit some of these videos and have it look like just the hand from Adams family is just tearing shit up. Jeff Healey was so damn bad ass, god. He could solo with his thumb and apply mean vibrato.. Just insanely talented.
1 word ~ "Roadhouse"
Went to see Clapton Jeff Healy opened and closed
Clapton who ?
Man, I was wondering how Jeff is doing. I haven't heard him in quite a while. I'm happy he's still out there gittin it!
Died March 2, 2008 (aged 41)
@@kreepiethatzombieguy Yeah, I read about it a little bit ago. Truly a great blues man
I believe I would change the name of that bank if I owned it😂😂😂
His covers of Beatle songs are better than the originals.
Unico eccezionale
How that possible?
Rest in peace
