The Man. This video was freely downloadable at Jeff's site. It's Talkin' Blues Productions' tribute to Jeff. I do not own any rights to the music nor video.
The mere fact that Jeff taught himself to play guitar the way he did was nothing short of amazing. Stevie Ray Vaughn even said he thought Jeff was probably the greatest guitar player he had ever heard. That's pretty damn solid right there. R.I.P. Jeff .
1989 sitting in a bar in downtown Calgary, Alberta with my best friend watching Jeff perform a little gig. After the show he walked over to our table with a friend helping him and asked if he could sit down for a drink. We talked with him for a half hour or so and we left thinking it wasn't such a big deal. Years later I still listen to him and play along. Thanks for the inspiration and music Jeff.
I’m not a Calgarian by birth, but by choice(many years later, half my life here now). Wish I’d had such a privilege. Jeff deserves to be recognized more. An amazing Canadian performer.
Que privilégio você e seu amigo tiveram! Jeff tocou no sul do Brasil mas não fui ao show pois para retornar para cidade onde moro,só no outro dia. Ele e Robert Cray Band,no mesmo festival em Porto Alegre,Rio Grande do Sul,Sul do Brasil. Tenho algum arrependimento pois sou fã desse brother,seus primeiros discos eu ainda tenho, são muito bons,mas a vida segue e seu legado é fantástico,isto é o que importa. Grande dia o seu com ele em sua mesa,uma baita de uma história para família amigos e outros mundo afora. Parabéns por seu relato dividido com outros fãs de Jeff Healey. Abraços do Sul do Brasil.
Holy...fucking...shit... I watched Jeff rock in Roadhouse but I had no idea how many brass balls this guy was carrying. Fucking awesome!!! Neil Young needs to bow and give praise to this artiste. Healey turned a hurricane into a cyclone.
I saw this guy play in Santa Fe New Mexico. The best concert I have ever been to. He's even better live than on CD. He was playing in a little bar similar to the one in the movie Roadhouse. Fantastic voice and his skills with the guitar are amazing. It's too bad he passed away.
I had the good fortune to see Jeff Healey live at the Long Beach Blues Fesitval might have been like 2007 (whoops it was 2002). He came out playing his guitar on his lap like he did. I swear his guitar sound live was incredible. I kid you not, I had goose bumps all over and for some reason my eyes leaked tears all over my face.. He played as the years go passing by by the great albert king.. He was a legend.... much love to Jeff Healy.....
Jeff Healey is an Icon and if you haven’t experienced his music, we’ll then, you must, if you want to reach the pinnacle of music ! Jeff made us alive. Try it !
If all this guy had was that rich, soulful voice, that would have been enough to front any band. The truth is that he wrote some great song, and played guitar quite unlike anyone else. His "All Along The Watchtower" still makes me tingle from head to toe, though I've heard it a thousand times now. RIP big guy. One of the best of us.
This incredible music is for old men like me from days long gone, with my beloved lady in bed and my devoted dog guarding her, as I sit here alone the foothills, drinking my beer and reliving the incredible moments of my younger years! Music is ageless! Time marches on!
I have Goosebumps as I write this. Rest in peace Jeff Healey. You were never in the same room and you never walked on the same dirt as the rest of us mortals
I played in a rock outfit in Houston for yrs. When we weren't playing we were watching other acts & guitarists to the point of boredom. But when I got a backstage pass to watch Jeff Healey it was like something I'd never seen before. It brought tears to my eyes.
Wow Jeff Healey, he was so underrated even in his prime. I met him about twelve years ago, he was one of the nicest and friendliest people i've ever met. So called musicians today don't have a 50th of the heart and soul or talent he had. RIP buddy
Jeff Healy, may God give you everlasting peace. You filled the world with your beautiful soul & extraordinary musicianship. You are a national treasure for Canada & all people who love music. Thank you for sharing your gift of music, your songs, your voice & incredible guitar playing. Your star shines brightly.
That is such a moving glimpse into Jeff Healey's life it makes me feel such joy but at the end, His guitar falls silent, & my eyes grow damp, so sad, what an amazing person , God rest your gentle soul Jeff , , you will be missed, , ,
i was shocked when i have heard him first time in my life. it was over 30 years ago and still i love him. one of the most underrated guitarist of all the time.
Unfortunately the extraordinarily gifted musicians always seem to leave us too soon. For lots of reasons, but we feel their loss so deep. Lynyrd Skynrd, Michael hutchence from INXS, and all the others. Jeff’s Smokey voice and lyrics were so unique. Sorely missed
I was getting concerned, I wanted to hear Jeff do the solos. Not the other guy. Then he does this great toned end solo, that just blows it out. I feel like re-doing my cover of this song.
RIP Jeff Healey. Died 8 Years ago today, March 02, 2008, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born March 25, 1966, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey was a blind Canadian jazz and blues-rock vocalist and guitarist who attained musical and personal popularity, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. He hit Number 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." I saw and met him on a couple of occasions. One of the Nicest people you could ever wish to meet and a Phenomenal Guitarist. RIP Jeff.
I saw Jeff play here in Toronto and was an instant fan. Man he can play that guitar like it was an extension of his body. An awesome talent and truly one of the best guitar players ever, a real Canadian icon and we as Canadians love him and are blessed to have him. When he passed my wife and 2 boys went to the Parklawn Cemetery sought out his resting place and put some flowers by his side. I left him a pic, so he can play on!! Love you buddy Jeff and thank you for just being you!
It's over a year ago since Jeff Healey left us and this video is a moving tribute to one of the worlds gifted artists whose life was taken way too soon. RIP Jeff Healey
My God what a loss losing Jeff Healey was. The only man that could do justice to this song other than Neil Young himself. He gave us so much great music in the short time we knew him.
Silly to compare really, Jeff was a fantastic player, but this tune is not technically demanding. Neil Young, at his best has the gift of being a sublime composer and of choosing exactly the right notes to make a simple tune sound spectacular and emotionally profound, this is what Jeff is celebrating in this piece. Massive respect to both of them
I listened to Jeff since maybe 88 or 89. My Aunt and Uncle took me to see him at Peabodys pub in Cleveland ohio. It was just before See the light came out. Show was awesome. I am so glad I had a chance to listen, appreciate and soak in the greatness that is Jeff. Still get misty hearing his music. To his wife and his kids. Your husband ,your dad gave me so much joy listening to his stuff. Thankyou God Bless ya
I cant watch this without tears in my eye, it is such a beautiful song & a,perfect tribute, to Jeff, a very , caring, loving gentle soul, & every bit as talented as the best blues guitarist/ singers, BB, Muddy, Hendrix, Vaughn, & Clapton,,& as humble as anybody,,,
I recently learned of the existance of Jeff Healy... too late it seems.. i have been listening to that guy since then.,. he was the greatest guitarist , artist i have ever seen.. Yeah what a loss for this world.. but at least he did what he loved for the time he was on this planet... i hope someday they will give him the tribute he deserves..
He was full of love and as for seeing the light, he was a beacon. An inspiration, a true star. They sometimes fall, this one returned. Love and respect Mr Healy.
WHAT !!! Has happened to the individual Human Spirit , the soul , the Desire in an individual With all faculties seemingly INTACT who stands on the street corner with a sign begging , or the tortured soul shooting heroine in the alley ,and the very young people who kill themselves because they were bullied on social media. And still i watch the Late Jeff Healey and i shake my head and cannot comprehend the endless hours of frustration and practice that gave the world one of the most Prolific Masters of his trade history will ever know. Jeff Healey AND SO MANY like him who Overcame challenges to achieve greatness should have their stories A MANDATORY STUDY in EVERY TAX PAYER funded Learning institution in North America. Stories like these give Hope ...and may indirectly save a life.
I saw Jeff play at the old Country Club Venue in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles back in 1993. He did a cover of Harrison's "As my guitar gently weeps". Fucken amazing show! Amazing Musician! Amazing human being!
Not much I can add to many already on here, I saw Jeff twice with his band outstanding I’m now almost 70 and his music still blows me away much respect Jeff we will always love you RIP Jeff the top of the greats!
Always loved Jeff and his band. As most of us know ,The Great ones are never here to long. So sad, but like the song says, if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band !! RIP Jeff🙏👍 What incredible man
I m just tingling all over listening to this, another brilliant cover by J H. he is without a doubt a hurricane, I m always blown away whenever I listen to his music. miss u still, Jeff. rest in peace in the arms of angels. Janis, Singapore
Why do we have to lose great singers/musicians such as this with true talent & have to suffer those that can't sing at all, but put on a big flare show to cover up how bad they stink. Jeff you are truly missed.
One of my favorites that Neil wrote....and man, Jeff Healy's style...with how much he shows the music being a part of him, like an extention of his soul. If this doesn't move you, you might want to check your pulse. What an awesome artist. I love the inserted clips of Jeff's free spirit and contagious laugh. We love you Jeff, and you'll always be missed until we see you again, up there.
Mr. Jeff has always been in, " GOAT" territory. Listening him play is beyond sublime. Thank you very much for sharing video. If you haven't, check out Mr. Jeff and SRV go off!
I love this song and I love Neil Young, Healey's fellow Canadian, who wrote it. Amazingly, this version is as good as any I've ever heard by Young himself. Man, they grow some serious musicians up north!
Jeff walked down Minstrel Drive everyday after high school, the street I lived on growing up, to Bonnyview, the street he lived on back then, carrying his guitar with him, every time, cane in the other hand, carefully making his way down the street. I got to see him open a show in Toronto for Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I thought he was in good company opening for those 2 acts, belonging along with them. If you liked good guitar playing you got it that night!
God I miss this man and his music. The only cover I can think of that does justice to my favorite Neil Young song. One of the few that can give Stevie Ray a run for his money. Jeff, may God rest your mighty soul. He gave us a gift of unimaginable value in your music.
Congratulations Jeff,,!!! thanks to your AMAZING. music and your AMAZING widow Christy Healey ,, you are now on Canadas Walk of Fame,,, RIP Jeff,, you are most certainly missed,,, what a great tribute this video is,,,
The mere fact that Jeff taught himself to play guitar the way he did was nothing short of amazing. Stevie Ray Vaughn even said he thought Jeff was probably the greatest guitar player he had ever heard. That's pretty damn solid right there. R.I.P. Jeff .
Alfred Schwarz. I hope, We See him again alive. So god help. R. I. P. Jeff.

Absolutely my favorite cover of this song and Jeff Healey is just beyond my mind's comprehension .
Jeff was one of the most underrated players to ever strap on the instrument.... period....🎸🎸🎸
He was very well known in the music industry for his playing . When SRV is impressed that says it all
Sitting here wondering how this guy always gets left off 100 greatest guitar players list
He's in good company, Terry Kath, Ritchie Blackmore & Dave Edmunds weren't on Rolling Stone's list either.
@@kenchristie9214 The clowns put Willie Nelson on the list. They should have picked Waylon over him. Plus the put a Beatle on the list.
Not your list or mine and in the end that's what matters.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
One helluva guitarist
His disease didn't stop him from being one of the best musicians ever. He inspires so many people around the world
I'm one of them. Thank-you Jeff R.I.P
blindness isnt a disease
@@anthonyletschat259 not his blindness.... the cancer
Yes Jeff Healey is the best !
Holy...fucking...shit... I watched Jeff rock in Roadhouse but I had no idea how many brass balls this guy was carrying. Fucking awesome!!! Neil Young needs to bow and give praise to this artiste. Healey turned a hurricane into a cyclone.

Jeff Healey is an Icon and if you haven’t experienced his music, we’ll then, you must, if you want to reach the pinnacle of music !
Jeff made us alive.
Try it !
@@patrickchapman9786 ❤
I could listen to this song 14 billion times in a row and not get sick of it. Raw talent, raw emotion, raw beauty. Miss you, Jeff.
If all this guy had was that rich, soulful voice, that would have been enough to front any band. The truth is that he wrote some great song, and played guitar quite unlike anyone else. His "All Along The Watchtower" still makes me tingle from head to toe, though I've heard it a thousand times now.

Same here.
👍
Poetic words my friend
He always set the stage on fire with his playing . You see other players even Stevie Ray look at him and think OMG . God bless him great player
Now they're together JAMMING !!
Jeff Healey einer der größten Blueskomponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein unglaublich phantastischer Gitarrist

All the thumbs down were left by guitarists that couldn't play without their cheat sheet in front of them. RIP Jeff
Jeff Healy was a great Blues Rock Artist, an inspiration to millions of fans, this guy kicked major ass!!!
AMEN

Hi
I was getting concerned, I wanted to hear Jeff do the solos. Not the other guy. Then he does this great toned end solo, that just blows it out.
I feel like re-doing my cover of this song.
I felt the same way and was pleasantly surprised when it got to Jeff's solo. He truly was amazing!
What an increidible talent! And to think I have never heard of him up until a few weeks ago.
Wow!
Better late than never
How is that possible? His first album Confidence man is BIG even in Thailand.
I am an enormous Neil Young fan since my childhood, but Jeffs version reallly touches me.
In a certain moment a realized that almost all renditions made by Jeff was sometimes even better than the originals...
Jeff Healey... Might not be the most famous but he's the best! Am amazingly talented and beautiful man who triumphed over adversity!
how could anyone not like this? Best guitarist I ever saw and I saw him open for SRV.

What a talented musician and a beautiful soul. RIP Jeff. 🕊️
There is not a guitarist on the planet that can bend a string like Jeff :)
How can 17 people give a thumbs down to this!?! It is absolutely fantastic.
jeff will be missed mostly by family and friends and like all his fans he will be forever
Amazing guitarist with a great voice; RIP Jeff Healey, you are missed.
he may be gone but his music lives forever

only just discovered Jeff Healey today. What a day.
priceless,,, thank you mr healey..... you and SRV join in a jam in heaven......RIP 2 two of the best!
My thoughts exactly!
I stood right beside him at the Red Dog. He was singing off stage between sets, I will always treasure that.
Merece la pena ,la vida por ver y conocer gente como él!!Siempre estará ahí!!
Jeffs solo is magic.
The fact that he never gets the credit he deserves is disgusting!!!!
He's in my top 20 for sure.
Incredibly talented blind man and 14 votes from the deaf!!
Best comment ever.
Bill Keane Even a deaf person could feel this and love it even if they could not hear it.
48 deaf voters now. Have to wonder about their choice of music.
They CAN feel vibration numb nuts ,shallow things for shallow minds ....you should watch Mr.Hollands Opus sometime
Well hopefully you will go blind or deaf someday ,That would be sheer justice in your ignorant childish comment
This song is special to me, and I am a Neil Young fanatic. This is a wonderful cover, the outro solo is just fantastic.
I cant watch this without tears in my eye, it is such a beautiful song & a,perfect tribute, to Jeff, a very , caring, loving gentle soul, & every bit as talented as the best blues guitarist/ singers, BB, Muddy, Hendrix, Vaughn, & Clapton,,& as humble as anybody,,,

I was lucky to meet Jeff after a concert in Austria in 1995. Wonderful memories ... RIP Jeff, you were one of the greatest!
He was full of love and as for seeing the light, he was a beacon. An inspiration, a true star. They sometimes fall, this one returned. Love and respect Mr Healy.
The guitar was an extension of his soul.Thx for all the great memories Jeff!Rockin' heaven now...
He was one of the greats of the Music business;and is missed by all.

I can't say I'm ashamed. I'd never heard this song before; cried all the way through, mourning this beautiful man. RIP dearest Jeff...
I'm glad to see all the nice comments.
Jeff was really great, and I would have loved to see him play live.
before being one of the most brillant guitarists of modern age he was a BIG man, a real guitar hero
like a hurricane...one of the greatest songs of the 70's. this cover rocks!
Always heard the name not too familiar but I knew about him and heard definitely fantastic great.
Thank you Jeff for the great music..
Unique Voice , Unique Guitar Player , Angel Eyes , RIP Jeff Healley
RIP Jeff. You were one of kind. 🕯
He saw much more beauty of this world than we can look at him, he was brilliant
So true, my friend. His blindness let him see much more of the beauty of the world, than we can ever see.
I saw Jeff play at the old Country Club Venue in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles back in 1993. He did a cover of Harrison's "As my guitar gently weeps". Fucken amazing show! Amazing Musician! Amazing human being!
You were one of the lucky ones to have been able to see Jeff live....I am completely jealous.
this song played by jeff is so amazing. the video really tugs at your heartstrings knowing he will never be around to do it again
What a voice he's not even trying. Very special Jeff Healey RIP
I miss you brother. God takes his favorites first. You and SRV live on through your music. Still making people happy.
Not much I can add to many already on here, I saw Jeff twice with his band outstanding I’m now almost 70 and his music still blows me away much respect Jeff we will always love you RIP Jeff the top of the greats!
Always loved Jeff and his band. As most of us know ,The Great ones are never here to long. So sad, but like the song says, if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band !! RIP Jeff🙏👍
What incredible man
First time I have heard this version....I am "blown away"! FANTASTIC! Jeff Healey was a true talent that will never be matched.
The brightest candles burn too quickly!!! But what a light they give!! Thank You Jeff!
I m just tingling all over listening to this, another brilliant cover by J H. he is without a doubt a hurricane, I m always blown away whenever I listen to his music. miss u still, Jeff. rest in peace in the arms of angels.

what a musician. Legend
I love this song and I love Neil Young, Healey's fellow Canadian, who wrote it. Amazingly, this version is as good as any I've ever heard by Young himself.
Man, they grow some serious musicians up north!
ericynot I agree
thought the same , cant make my mind up who's version I like better....oh bother ,,ill listen them both ..
Time bandis
hey men it's jeff halley it's normal he plays with the heart !!!!
he's a blind guitarist who plays with all fingers ... sorry i'm french but i so love his guitar's song.... ! !!
I’ve listened to this countless times……and never ceases to gives me chills…….the good awesome kind!! Soooo fantastically phenomenal talent 🎶🎶🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Had Jeff in my cab many times in Toronto.. a real gentleman.so sad he past so young 😢
It's phenomenal to do something that will outlive your time on earth...awesome...Rest peacefully Jeff...you deserve it!
Jeff walked down Minstrel Drive everyday after high school, the street I lived on growing up, to Bonnyview, the street he lived on back then, carrying his guitar with him, every time, cane in the other hand, carefully making his way down the street. I got to see him open a show in Toronto for Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I thought he was in good company opening for those 2 acts, belonging along with them. If you liked good guitar playing you got it that night!
Woah, over 300k views, didn't expect to see that! Nice to see that this great, talented, humble person is still being appreciated and remembered :)
Jeff always gives high sustained massive solo. Awesome!
Blind, but could still see the world in ways those with their sight never can. This guy is still special to me and always will be. Rest In Peace.
Jeff you were the best Canadian blues man ever and still are ! Like a hurricane you have blown away many many with your music :) RIP
seen this dozens of times, still goosebumbs!
True, old times will never come back, especially this one. Awesome musician.
How can anyone in the right mind not love this??
God I miss this man and his music. The only cover I can think of that does justice to my favorite Neil Young song. One of the few that can give Stevie Ray a run for his money. Jeff, may God rest your mighty soul. He gave us a gift of unimaginable value in your music.
Stephanie B ~ Very nicely written! A fine tribute statement.
Stephanie B when the. night comes falling from the sky by bob dylan.jeff does it better!!!
It was a sad day when we lost Jeff Healey
Congratulations Jeff,,!!! thanks to your AMAZING. music and your AMAZING widow Christy Healey ,, you are now on Canadas Walk of Fame,,, RIP Jeff,, you are most certainly missed,,, what a great tribute this video is,,,
An absolute Legend who will be sadly missed
R.I.P. Jeff.
You're one of the best artists I ever heard and thanks for the emotions you gave to me.
We all love you
Have listened to Jeff's rendition of this classic a hundred times, and it still blows me away!
