- One of our all-time favourite clips of the early days, Jeff Healey in 1988 on the Jools Holland/David Sanborn hosted, 'Night Music'. Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums... quite possibly one of the hottest bands ever assembled! This clip screams pure joy. It's a blast watching Marcus lose it as Jeff takes it to another level. Dig! ~Rog

2024 and that still is one of the most incredible live performances I've ever seen. What an amazing talent.
😂😂😂😅😮😮
No doubt.. Healy is by far one of the most underrated musicians of our time. Rip legend
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo,es increíble este vídeo! Algo único !
Jeff Healey was one of the greatest guitarist bar none. R.I.P. Jeff
Playing in such an intense way is the proof that nobody needs drugs to feel things... Yeah Jeff I can see the light: Thank you!
I will never tire of seeing this. Astounding!
I actually saw this when it was first broadcast on tv. Night Music was a great show with fabulous guests and a fabulous band.
Learning guitar can be hard,but being blind and becoming a legend as Jeff was is mind blowing , died before his time .
It bums me out when we lose such legends so early. What would THEY have done?
saw him live on acid
@@curtiseverett1671I screwed your mom on acid. See what I did there? Ya, no one cares except you.
No one's guaranteed tomorrow, but I appreciate that he didn't let his " disability " keep him from being purposeful.
It's hard to fathom how Blessed I was to see Jeff live, twice. ❤🙏🏻
This still feels so amazing.
I have come back and watched this countless times, and I still feel like I cannot quite believe what I am seeing and hearing. Jeff Healey needs to be in the GOAT discussion for guitar - PERIOD!
Bravissimo bello ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊🎸😊
Yes, yes, Jeff, but don't ever ignore Dr. John piano, Marcus Miller bass, Omar Hakim drums. What a power group.
Nothin' but the very best there without a doubt! 🙂 ~Rog
Kick ass backup band. No questions
Did someone ignore them? 🙄
The rhythm section is wildly overplaying in my ears.
They are the best!!!
This guy has more talent in one finger than in most peoples whole body.
Jeff Healey is an absolute inspiration. I'll never forget the day he came to visit our classroom in Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 7. To take time out of his busy schedule to visit some kids in public school was so nice of him, it will stay with me forever. Thanks Jeff. You gave me a happy memory of a lifetime. Forever grateful!
Really he came to see you at school I'm 7th grade ? Wow you are one lucky kid lol adult now but you know what I mean I love Jeff he is awesome what is your favorite song bye him mine is angel eyes I love that song it means so much to me
@@joycemitchell6954 Yeah, he really did come to see our class in school in Toronto. It was around 1992 or so. Was super awesome of him. Angel Eyes is a great song. I loved his music from Roadhouse (I was also was a Patrick Swayze fan).
Yes I got to say angel eyes is my favorite song bye Jeff and loved loved Patrick as much as Jeff may they always be remembered in our hearts and souls and minds rip you guys much love bros
❤❤❤❤
Un canadiense dando las gracias? Eso es muy raro.
This is probably the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen and heard, in my pretty long life. The late great Jeff Healey, deserves to be mentioned among the all time great guitarists. He played in his own unique way, and I think a talent like this only occur once or twice in a century.
Fully agree!
@Bob Whiting RnB no pal the blues.
@@garethbrearley6484 I mean R&B is usually more funky and this ain’t no shuffle lol. Rhythm AND Blues 😆
check out As years going passing by
👏🏻
The ever famous saying "Nobody can play like him" is most applicable in Jeff's case. What a fantastic unique player. RIP
because nobody learned like him...he plays the chords like a piano
He was amazing totally a confidence man
look up thumbs carlileth-cam.com/video/7ecl93TsmaE/w-d-xo.html
He plays it on his lap because at age three that's the only way he could hold it. He has said that he doesn't understand why others don't play that way because your fingers can do so much more
@@mateo98100At age 3it was the only way he could hold it but you're right about playing like a piano
I've been a sound guy for 24 years. That is a show when you get to say" II witnessed HISTORY "
Holy Mother of God, what a beautiful moment. Thank you for sharing- the music lives on.
One of the most devastating performances on the electric guitar ever given by mankind!
Absolutely Insane.!!! Made me want to throw my Strat into the damn fireplace
Marcus Miller & Omar THROWING IT FUCKIN’ DOWN!....
Absolutely agree! and with Marcus and Omar it could not be any better!
@UCDB_EqVAwpw4EhNk77OEpuw
Astounding performance. Threw my Strat in the fireplace . Useless piece of shit wouldn't even burn.
😅
Jeff Healey had a gift he could play that guitar that's for sure
God bless Jeff Healey and rest in peace.💜🙏☮️
blimey, i never appreciated this fella when i was a kid. Revisiting it now in my 40's and i am blown away
35 years ago today this album came out. The shoe told me to go and catch this Cat. he plays it on his lap. Saw him 7times. miss you Big man you are still the Best
Omar Hakim on the drums, that's the ultimate groove armada. Dr John, Marcus Miller, the hell of a band
I know not a weak link absolute power!!!
Tellin the TRUTH!
And Jeff made them work hard this night
Man - they wuz fuckin’ THROWIN’ THAT SHIT - DOWN!!! Good LAWD...
Yeah I saw that, he was gettin Marcus hyped up!!
Jeff had them all jacked up,you are witnessing something spiritual and supernatural
He is the definition of "nothing is impossible". The precision is impeccable.
This should have 50 million views!!! One of the Greatest Blues/Rock performances of our times and all the Greats would agree, especially Jimi. Thanks Jeff for your life expression, twas a Real Treat.
That was Absolutely Amazing 🤩🎸🎶🎶🔥🔥
When Jeff played there was some kind of a spiritual transformation that took place in him.. it's like the music just took over his whole being...we all sure miss your genius Jeff....🎸🎸🎸
I heard Jeff Healy, 30 years ago on german TV. i will never forget the performance (still not found it) or his name. Coming back Jeff, highest achievement.
Holy Fuckkkkkkkkkk!!!! Oh my God, this is just absolutely badass!!! I came out of my chair cheering for him near the end.
Yep... Balls to the wall. When he stands up, why doesn't he drop the guitar?
Simply one of the sickest live guitar performances of all-time.
Jeff is my number 1 blues player.ilove to play the blues but I cannot duplicate jeff.he is and always be in the the top 5 of blues greats
And THAT,
ladies and gentlemen...
is Jeff Healey !
I only saw Jeff Healey one time saw him in Detroit August 27th 1991 one year to the day when we lost Stevie Ray Vaughan Jeff was amazing I don't know what to say he was sick rest in peace brother
Marcus Miller can’t believe what he’s seeing.
Jeff was such an incredible player. This performance blows my mind every time I watch it.
RIP Jeff
Well said!!!
The late great srv was a fan
Legend!!!❤
❤
@@stephenodonnell8023
It came up again and once again I had to watch. I will continue to watch every time it comes up in my feed. Outstanding musicianship from everybody in the band. Jeff was just one of a kind talent.
I love that Dr. John randomly pops up jammin. RIP Doc.
Jeff is a dynamo and the bass player kicks ass. They all do. You don't find music like this in the main stream today.❤
The world is much better place, just for you having been a part of it. Go with God Jeff.
I miss the 20th century. It had Jeff Healey.
Had the privilege of seeing Jeff front row. RIP sir.
The combo, the song, the performance.. Simply magnificent!!
When this guy came to England I went to see him in Portsmouth. The venue was full of biker guys and long haired rockers.This is about 1990. I was 24 , stapress Levis' , Ben Sherman, loafers and a sport's jacket. They all snarled at me 'till I lit my fat joint, then we became friends. What a guitar player this guy is. He brought the fucking house down when he did 'see the light'.
Was lucky enough to see this guy play live in London. What a player.
Got to see him as well in 1993. I was with my dad at a flea market in Georgia and he was doing a concert right next door. We snuck under a fence and seen the show for free. He was beyond his time.
It's often said but there really will never be another Jeff Healey. An incredible talent and lovely human being.
Nobody ever will play with that intensity and skill. Mind boggling
The greatest guitar player I've ever seen...
Yes Dave he was with other great guitarists. But his unique playing will be rememberd. Saw him once here in Tilburg. Noorderligt and he blew up the crowd.
@@frankuijens8059 had ik ook wel willen meemaken
SOOOOOO STIIINNNKKKIIINN AWESOME!!!!!!!!! This guy was simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Ain't much music greater than this
RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healy
He turned a so called disability into an amazing ABILITY!
Some people clearly need more Jeff Healey in their lives...
Man his reaction when the crowd cheers warms my heart. Guy's a legend.
R.I.P. Jeff !
Lets all just be thankful ....
Pure Magic! Bottle that energy and power the planet...Unfortunately, something we will never see again.
That my friends we may never see again. That is ok because we were all able to share in his musical gift back in the eighties. Truly special ❤
as a former guitar slinging singer who fronted a club band with a continuous and tight road schedule for a large portion of my life,I feel compelled to speak about a few other accomplishments by this young fella just in this one single performance..first off- Marcus and omar are grinning right out of the box..thats something to be proud of on its own..secondly, wow, what a vocal Jeff is laying down...amazing VOCAL...two verses in Jeff says " come on Doc, I got the blues..." wow..what an honor...This had to be a highlight in Jeffs career,one of many...then,able to keep marcus and omar smiling during a pretty wild solo,another amazing accomplishment..Listen to marcus and omar here- laying it DOWN,and having a ball....shows how much respect these dudes had for what Jeff was laying down..then....wait for it....The very young Jeff gets to tell marcus and omar- "way down...." what??? the balls on this guy...lmao....
last but not least- the killer lick and performance on the guitar at the end absolutely made marcus break down in smiles, from ear to ear....what an amazing performance...I mean, truly amazing.So glad this is out there for people to remember what a talent Jeff really was... and my goodness what a band behind him this night....my goodness...
and i have been priveleged to have some of the very best behind me...Johnny Gayden,Micheal Doster...I know what it means to have this kind of talent behind you...such a blessing..these cats do not grow on trees..
Yeah alright, calm down mate.
@@paulgordon6949 lol.. i know., Listen Mate, I have been blessed to play with some of the best, the absolute cream of the crop at times when I was working enough to attract the cats.
I am telling you straight up for a cat as young as Jeff to get that kind of performance and respect from those veterans speaks very loudly to me. These cats absolutely laid that shit bra.. love this cut. And the coolest part of it all, is Jeff deserved the respect they gave him. performances like this are so rare my friend. I bet that room still smells like mojo
Jeff HEaley is in a league of its own...Marcus and Omar are barely keeping up - blessed to be there - they are great , I am a fan of both, but this is supernatural power on display - leagues above...you can't learn that.... Even SRV, the absolute brute force in blues, had to take a step back and admire....jaw open...
@@levondarratt787 ya man, any player would be standing back and jaw hanging watching this performance
@@tedarndt6254 If course he knows they can keep up, but Jeff is sure on a par with these legendary musicians, he is just making that point,
Jeff was so talented. That rhythm section was smoking too!
Miller and Hakim look like they absolutely loved that. How could you not??? Talk about a great day at the office!
Damned good band
This is probably the most beautiful moment in history of mankind. Unbelievable.
Here I am, watching this again. And blown away..... again!
I have to put my face back on every time I watch this!!!😂
This is hands down one of the most impressive and inspirational musicianship performances you will see. If you happen to be unfamiliar with this band without Jeff Healey sitting in, like I was, they are absolutely world class tight and talented. And at this point in their careers they were at their height. They are they are the cake. Then Healey absolutely crushes it. He is 2 inches of icing on the cake. Easy to say, but forget for a moment the inspirational element of Healey's life story and just listen. They simply just ROCK! Absolutely slay. And Jeff is 20 or 21 at this point??? This video clip is the absolute pinnacle of funk from a makeshift group of 4 guys without a minute's thought of their age, race or physical hurdles.
I went to see Jeff play before he was famous there was only about 10 people at the gig at lunch time. After he played I told him your going make it big soon. He said thank-you! A year later he was playing sold out shows. It was in Vancouver we had to pay see him about $3 dollars the cashier said some blind fellow that plays blues. When we came out of the pub we were speechless!
you're*
You are lucky,man....
I saw him at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto one summer. I don't think there were 20 people in the audience, but he played as if he was in a stadium. Incredible!
Was that show at The Lamplighter? I think I saw him there once about 81’, or 82
Yeah, I guess there's no guarantee of any artist making it big, but Jeff created that 'buzz' wherever he went.
He seems like such a pure guy, like he could play on any stage with any band and land on his feet so well. That's who he was. The popular songs and albums were great too but he was a devoted musician principally. He's so Old School that way, like he's a jazz player. I believe he owned an insane amount of old records.
One of the few times i smiled since this pandemic started .god rest your soul MR HEALY
How can anyone except but to love this brother 😮
Why isn't this MAN in the most top 100 guitar players?????? Forget Jimmy.. This is the man
Jimi is and always will be overrated. Jeff Healey, Joe Bonamassa, SRV... these are the real masters.
@@liamx6636 Amen
I'm sure you googled that?
@@liamx6636Overrated? Explain?
Unfortunately, it's either a popularity contest to get nominated, or how well you kiss a**. No Paul Rogers or Little Feat? But we get Kate Bush and Cheryl Crow! Give me a friggin break!
The way Marcus Miller was looking at him with Incredible admiration and satisfaction
Wow, thanks! If you ever come Seattle I would sure love to play bass with you.
I'm not saying I can play like Marcus Miller anything but I would sure try my best to be a good Rhythm Section player
That says it all dude
Yup. If only Jeff could have played regularly with Marcus and Omar. What an ensemble.
Most of these Simps wouldn't even know who he is
A true humble gentleman. Legend for life! Seen you many times at your bar "Roadhouse" (Named after Patrick Swayze) in Toronto. I'll never forget you and your family. Rest easy Buddy. ❤️
Some people can not see the light...THANKS JEFF!
I've watched this performance several times, but it gives me goosebumps every time! Not only is Jeff tearing it up, the whole band is phenomenal. I think Jeff was one of the greatest blues guitarists ever because of his technical skill and his incredible phrasing and feel.
If that isn’t the baddest solo ever , and let’s no forget that unstoppable rhythm section!!! Absolutely wow in every way !
I had the honor to work with Jeff in 2001 R.I.P Mr.Healey
I'm speechless. Goosebumps and teary-eyed
Definitely one of the legends on guitar out there! Truth Jeff Healey should have gotten more recognition for his playing and singing. I was first introduced to Jeff Healey in Patrick Swayze’s ‘Roadhouse’
Just looked up this track so I could comment (and link this) on a review of Roadhouse that failed to mention him. :)
He's on the Canadian Hall of Fame!
Just discovered him. Guitar playing is up there w any of the greats. But his singing absolutely sucks. Guess I need to explore more.
@@aloeup2121 how could you say his singing sucks? It's maybe not the best ever but it's perfect for his style. I think he has a pretty top-tier voice
Yes! My man you realy need to!@@aloeup2121
March 2, 2019 will be the 11th anniversary of Jeff's death. How I miss this extraordinarily talented man. I know he, Jimi and Stevie Ray are having a great time together. Rest in eternal peace, Norman Jeffrey Healey.
Holy crap time flies!
Yeah super sad. Massive fan. My B day is the third so I am reminded of his passing. Just jamming out now to his play list and my Japanese wife is shakin’ her head at me.
Such a gifted guitarist and vocalist. Absolutely amazing!
Jeff still gives me a storm of emotions like 30 years ago, when i saw him playing "While my guitar gently weeps" in that MTv video. I had never seen or heard anything like that and i never will.
One in a billion of this talent. Strenght, Heart and soul. I see this video so many times.
Looks like Marcus was trying to contain himself but just couldn't. Whenever I need and example of incredible human spirit, I come back to this video and check Jeff out again.
Jeff Healy +Slap Bass= Awesome
Definitely got a better view for the shred
I was lucky to see him a few years before he died in the city of London Ontario at a free festival, it was fabulous. I miss this type of show on TV 'night music' was a classic.
Thank you Patrick Swayze for introducing me to this genius of a man!
Man.... These guys were cookin with gas!!!!
gas? these guys were cookin with plutonium!!
Kookin' with NITRO, baby!!!!!
Just incredible, never mentioned enough when discussing the great electric guitarist. Frank Marino another Canadian guitarist that was light years ahead of his generation.
Frank is my favourite guitarist ever.
R.I.P. buddy!!! playing with you would have been a great honour, unfortunately thats not gonna happen! 😓
Get this man in the Hall of Fame already.
So many guitarist that I can name my favorite. And Jeff always at the top.
What a fantastic band with Jeff for a brilliant version, got it on See the Light vinyl album with his own band which I played to death. R. I. P. You are sorely missed Jeff x
The first I ever heard of Jeff Healey was the performance of this song on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He's been my favorite guitarist since the first note of that performance. Rest In Peace
i had the pleasure/honor to see the jeff healey band at the plush horse inn, redondo beach, ca, in about 1994. i drove four hours each way that night. it was worth every minute.
Unbelievable talent that the world greatly misses.👑
Such ass kicking musicianship all around. Devastating rhythm section with Miller and Hakim. Beautiful rollicking piano solo by the legendary Dr. John, and then of course the young phenom tearing it up with his unique approach to the fretboard. I sure wish they would would have late night TV like this again.
i wish
jack white was pretty great on snl last weekend
Why do I keep forgetting how good Jeff Healey was? Unbelievable!
ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE !!! THANK YOU JEFF !!
G-D bless you Jeff! Wish I had the chance to see you . What a gift you brang to us. Thank you
I don't know how I went my whole life without knowing about this dude. He fricken kills!
One of the best guitarists of our times. I wish I had half his talent
Whoa, I cannot believe I’m just seeing and hearing this for the first time. Glad I did, that was incredible
Fantastic!! - Happy heavenly birthday to wonderful Toronto musician Jeff Healy, gone way too soon! - [March 25, 1966 / March 2, 2008]
That was smokin!!! Glad I got to see Jeff play live.
RIP Dr. John, RIP Jeff Healey ...
Jeff and Dr. John together again jamming up there. R.I.P.
There's always somebody who'll make this zero brain comment
I used to work for a medical company as a delivery driver in the early 90’s and I used to see Jeff on a regular basis. I always said hello to him and he in return. I didn’t want to overwhelm him with what a fan I was off his music. So a casual hello Jeff was good enough. 🎸
We lost Jeff WAY to early, man what a talent. We love you Jeff!
I agree "can't believe he's not on Top 100 Guitarist" ... what a blessing he was!
That can't possibly be true after this performance!? There's a lot of legends out there, even ones still playing, but Jeff has to be in that list if not top 20?
according who ? a stupid mag ? you don´t ned a stupid mag to make decisions
I was 20 at the date of this performance. Brings a warmth deep down inside 4 years after the comment below. I could play into my 100s and NEVER COME CLOSE to this one in a lifetime GEM of a musician that God gave us! Don't forget that SMOKING band. Drums, bass, keys going BAT SHIT all over the place. LOVE THIS EPIC PERFORMQNCE TILL THE DAY I DIE!!!!!!! RIP you will never be forgotten!
I think that if Jeff Healey were to appear on a talent show today, the judges would pass out before he finished the song.
Totally UNDERRATED,,,should be top ten guitar player..??
There's just so many awesome guitar players. But after seeing this again I'm almost inclined to agree with you. Jeff's was able to allow pure creative intelligence to flow through him.
WrOiWp.......✌
Maybe not in the Top 10, because his style is not that so original (musically speaking), but his technique, crazy! Top 100, for sure.
Man.. 3:03 was just nasty. I’ve never heard anything even close to that level. He’s got soul and speed. That’s the rarest of all the gifts.
Blistering speed.
Yeah, that's what happens when you are blind and determined to get good. Damn, but what a big sacrificial exchange tho.
when I saw him live, he reminded me of Hendrix......I'm an old guitar player, and grew up on Hendrix, and I would never even say that, but.....his spirit soared like an eagle......man it was something to see and hear
It’s just nuckin fits how fast those runs are using his thumb. He was just an amazing player, I think his unusual style was partially because of the way he played… on his lap. Awesome.
This is what talent sounds like kids.
Out of all the guitarists no longer with us, I think I miss Jeff the most. Ungodly skills.
