Cancer took his sight when he was 1, his life when he was 41 (R.I.P.). He got his first guitar when he was 3... taught himself to play with it laying across his lap because he wasn't big enough to play it holding it the conventional way.
Your reaction is exactly what it should look like. Your analysis is spot on. Jeff is only really known to those in the know. Much like fellow Canadian Frank Marino. These guys are top-notch guitar players and should be listened to and shared.
As a fellow Canadian its great seeing Jeff being remembered and listened to on an international platform! He was a genius natural musician...brilliant and gone way too soon! Thank you for bringing him back!
He wasn't just a great blues musician, he also played other instruments, including trumpet and I believe piano. He fronted a jazz band as well, in Toronto, owned a club, had a massive collection of Jazz 78s and hosted a show on CBC radio where he would play selections from that collection and talk about the history of the music.
I once met Jeff at his club in Toronto. He insisted that people just call him Jeff. He was friendly, gracious and humble, just a tremendous human being. You really couldn't help but love the guy. His passing hit me pretty hard and I usually don't react to celebrity deaths because people die every day. The only celebrities whose deaths hit me hard were Jeff' Healey, Walter Gretzky (I actually knew him) and Robin Williams. Godspeed Jeff, wherever you are, I hope that you're in perpetual bliss.
I was sad about Gordon Lightfoot, but it was bittersweet, because he died at a good age having really done it all, and his last interviews showed him to be pretty ready for it, he knew it was his time. Jeff Healey died too young.
Lort have mercy, you're killing me today. Jeff Healey was one of my favorite artists since I was tiny. Easily one of the most moving guitarists I've ever heard. Killer pick!
A friend i went to school with - her dad's brother and wife adopted him and several other children. She said everyone loved them as if they were blood. Jeff had a silly sense of humor and was the "life of the party at family reunions" (yes she said exactly that) she also said that he's very missed and since the parents started passing they don't get together like they all used to. Sadly i see that with everyone's family's
Jeff Healey appears in ROAD HOUSE with the late Patrick Swayze. Swayze plays a bouncer in a very rough bar, in a town run by a wealthy ass hole. It's an awesome movie with great fights, hot women, monster trucks, and awesome music featuring Healey and Swayze (who also had a good voice). The movie sound track is one of the best ever made. Swayze: "You play pretty good for a blind, white boy." Healey: "And I thought you'd be taller."
The host of the show, saxist David Sanborn, bass player Marcus Miller, and drummer Omar Hakim have all appeared on countless albums. You might know the pianist on this song, Dr.John, from his big 70's hit "(I've been in the ) Right Place, (but it must have been the) Wrong Time". He started out on guitar, but had to switch to piano when somebody shot off part of one of his left hand fingers. The song about seeing the light is kind of ironic considering Healey's blindness. Towards the end he got more interested in Dixieland music, often played the trumpet.
This wasn't Jeff's normal band. This was a supergroup of sorts and all of these guys are top tier on their respective instruments. For Jeff to overshadow them all really says a lot.
This makes my Canadian heart happeh (... get it? eh?... ok I'll shut up lol!). It was truly a sad day when he passed away in 2008, but his legacy is still going strong. Thank you so much Luke for checking out See The Light, and I hope your Jeff Healey journey doesn't end with this one song/performance. Much love from across the pond in Newfoundland, Canada ✌💙
Much love Nicole and of course I get it 😉 I follow a Canadian TH-camr called Sips, keeps me in on the lingo 😂 I'm very much looking forward to seeing another one of his performances, this was wonderful
Jeff Healey was an amazing musician. Have to mention though, in this video he's backed by Dr John on the piano...another amazing musician. You should check some of his music as well. (personal favorite of mine is his "Going Back To New Orleans" album)
@@GOTGames In addition to Dr John on piano (he was also a guest on this episode of the show), Marcus Miller was on bass and Omar Hakim on drums. Both of those guys are world class musicians as well, played with many huge artists, and happened to be part of the "house band" on this show (called "Sunday Night", later renamed "Night Music".
Excellent reaction.....the same way I felt when I saw him live! It was a small venue quite early in his career, all I can say is you know its a good show when you still remember it 30 years later. Unfortunately Jeff never got the kind of recognition he deserved in my opinion
This man was a musical genius, his band also was in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, it's such a shame that he's gone and yes all of what you said is true♥️n OMG the incredible legend Dr. John
Jeff Healey is fantastic! For another live performance, check out Jeff and Stevie Ray Vaughan doing 'Little Sister'. So much greatness on the stage. And here's another for your must-see live band list...Rush /Live in Cleveland 2011 Time Machine tour. It will knock your socks off!
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to this unquestionably unique musician. 🤗 I personally had the incredible fortune to experience him performing live, up close, over several nights near the start of his legendary career, and I'd never even heard of him an hour before he touched the guitar on that memorable first evening! Mid/late '80s, Victoria BC, early evening on a warm summer Thursday: Me and some of the boys headed out to a local meat market / pick up bar that usually had a DJ. (🤭 Hey, I was young, well, late 20s, and there would likely be pretty girls there! 😂). When we arrived, we were perplexed to discover there was a lineup to get in, with posters advertising a live performer (not usual) debuting that night, with praises by the likes of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. So, what the hell, we waited in line. Once we got in we sat at a table right by the dance floor, about 15 feet from a two foot raised stage. After ordering our beer, the band came out, obviously guiding a blind guy. My buddies and I kinda looked at each other quizzically. 🤔 They sat him down in a chair onstage, handed him an electric guitar, which he placed on his lap 😯 ... then, when they started to play ... my world changed ... forever. It was Jeff Healey and his band, before their first album came out: I had never heard of him/them before, but he, specifically, had my attention now. He proceeded to play the cleanest, most amazing, unbelievable guitar licks I'd ever heard. He played blues, he played rock, he played country, he even played a bit of what sounded like flamenco. He played Hendrix better than Hendrix, he played with his teeth, he played while literally jumping around blind like a mad man. He seemed to be having a religious experience onstage. Despite it being a dance club, NOBODY danced that night. Every person, patrons and staff alike, stood around, hypnotized, with their mouths agape, staring, hardly believing what they were seeing and hearing. I went back Friday and Saturday, and again three nights the following week, as they were playing a two week gig there. Their first album came out shortly thereafter, and then he was in a movie with Patrick Swayze, and then ... well, I sadly never got to see Jeff Healey perform live again. But I still feel blessed, and I shall never forget how amazing the experience was that first night I saw him play! 😊
I was privileged to see him live in the early 90’s. The man was truly inspiring. Genius. Just genius and raw, pure unadulterated talent. Great reaction. The fact that you get the point about the strap of his guitar speaks volumes. You know your stuff and it shows, and this is a fantastic, genuine show of emotion on your part.
For some more iconic live performances, I would suggest Rush - YYZ Live in Rio, Rush - Working Man Live in Cleveland, and any live song from Triumph at the US Festival 1983
Yeah he taught himself. Had an LP collection of 5000, all genres. No teachers can teach that style because no-one plays like that. Had cancer in his eyes aged about 1, unfortunately it came back and killed him later in life, but he’s up there as one of the greatest guitarists ever. Check him out in the Patrick Swayze action film “Roadhouse”. His band is the house band in a tough rock and blues night club.
He went blind due to cancer around the age of one I believe. For another live performance by him, I would suggest "As The Years Go Passing By" Live at Stuttgart Jazz Festival 3-28-1995. This was with his regular band, and not an All-Star group. 😎
Child- miracle ,if you think that he lost his sight from cancer just one years old and three years ago he started playing the guitar .Really admirable. Sad that he passed away so young. Awesome reaction Luke.🤟
I adore u! Everything shows on your face! I saw it when u watched Phil Collins In The Air Tonight live from Paris 2004( might’ve been 2009, can’t remember), anyway Jeff Healy is definitely iconic!
Unfortunately, Jeff left us at just 41 years old due to his illness, corneal cancer. I tell you that the extraordinary musicians who accompanied him were the stable band of the program The Night Music, hosted by the great saxophonist David Sanborn and were: Dr. John on piano, a blues legend; Marcus Miller on bass, one of the best in the world who also plays saxophone, guitar and keyboards, producer (he was the producer of the last Miles Davis albums), arranger and conductor and on drums the great Omar Hakim, one of the greatest of current jazz-rock, Sting's first drummer in his solo stage and who played with "everyone": Weather Report, Chick Corea, Carly Simon, Mariah Carey, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Madonna, etc.
You really need to react to Stevie Ray Vaugh "Texas Flood" live at El Macombo. Buckle up because it's a wild ride. Arguably was one of if not the best blues guitarist ever.
Thanks jeff went blind of eye cancer at age one, his a legend, this isnt even the best version, the 1989 live in london is along with all along the watchtower from the same concert. he is completely self taught. great reaction mate
My friend! Thank you for the continued support! The channel wouldn't be here without you! Oh really? I would be happy to check out that one, this version absolutely blew me away! ❤️
Jeff didn't teach himself to play the guitar, he was taught the standard way. However he never felt completely comfortable playing that way while not being able to see, so he developed the method of playing that you see where he plays with the guitar on his lap. He was actually playing the guitar at the end with his teeth, not his tongue. He lost his eyes at around 2 years old due to cancer, which later in life was his cause of death. I think that covers most of your questions. Now IMO best live performance of all time is Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, Live at Pulse. My vote for the best guitar solo of all time.
Jeff also had a small part in a movie called Roadhouse with Patrick swayze 👍You should review Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Texas flood live at the El mocambo RIP SRV AND JEFF 🎵 🎶🎤🎸🐐💯🙏🎼
Jeff Healey is a legend especially his live performances. I would recommend you check out Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways live from The Albert Hall or any Gary Moores live performances.
Absolute banger. If you liked this Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan live at The El Mocambo will blow you away as well. Voodoo Chile from the same gig is none too shabby either.
Rush song Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left in Montreal Canada 1981.3 man band that can play. Amazing sound from 3 people. Fantastic musicians. Best band of all time.
Im binge watching your videos haha!! Please continue to react to ONE OK ROCK! We would love to see your reaction to their live performance called "Deeper Deeper (Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium)" I think you would be surprised fr!!! Hahah this concert lasted almost 2 and a half hours with the same energy. Taka's voice is just pure energy!
As always, really REALLY enjoyed your reaction. Jeff Healey was really an incredible musician, and his live performances were stunning, even if, for my personal taste, he kinda "overdid" a little bit the "show" part, you know... Standing up, jumpin' around, that kind of stuff. 🙂 I know it was "good for the show" for most audiences, but I've never been that kind of spectator. 😁 Now, if you want to check another INCREDIBLE musician who left us WAAAAY too early, you could check up the good old Stevie Ray Vaughan. In particular, there are a few live videos that I think would just blow your mind away: the "sound check" video, which is described as: ""Stevie just waking up then warming up." 😁😁 I'd sell all my relatives to play that way just "waking up then warming up". No, I'd sell them all just for playing HALF that good in ANY moment in my life, even just ONCE 😂. And then there are more videos of him in concert... I'd suggest his cover of "Voodoo Child (slight return)", by Jimi Hendrix... Likely the best cover I've ever heard of that song. 🤩 But pretty much ANY video of him performing live will do. 🙂 See you at next reaction! 🙂
Hé oui c'était un bon, faut dire qu'ici le pianiste le batteur et le bassiste sont des stars dans leur domaine! Vers la fin de sa courte vie, il avait un jeu plus sobre, moins hendrixien, il était très fort en guitare jazz aussi...
Niesamowity gitarzysta i czlowiek! Jako jedyny jakiego znalem! Gral technika fi ortepianowa! Do tego niewidomy! Podziwiam! I ten glos! Blues rock! Na maxa! Uwielbiam jego muzyke! R.I.P! Jeff Healey!❤👍🏻🤘👌✌️✊️🙏🙏🙏 bluesa powstales i w blues sie obrocisz! Mam prosbe! Zrob cos dla muzyki! Nie przerywaj przy solowkach! Psujesz klimat!
First time I saw Jeff Healey he was in the original Road House movie. "Best live" OK, you have to include Kenny Rogers LADY Live th-cam.com/video/roqqACI1ABY/w-d-xo.html. No earpiece, no auto tune, hell he didn't even have a cordless mic. This performance was making the rounds on YT a few years back, mainly because people today are amazed by his natural vocal skills. Always enjoy your channel dude.
Some of the things he does when playing almost appear impossiable. Ithink SRV is the man, but jeff has a nastier meaner sound. And man he is probaly as good and jeezz he's fast. I'm speechless
The reason the live performances of the artist from the 70s 80s and 90s were so much then the artist of today. Is because performing live is where they cut their teeth and got noticed and broke through to their record deals. Today it's done from the artists bedrooms on TH-cam and tictoc.
Yeah taught himself to play from the age of 4 years old, became blind after having cancer at the age of one, amazing guitarist & singer, he appeared in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze as a guitarist performer. Sad loss to the music industry & Fans when he died in 2008. Other awesome songs he's done I highly recommend to check out are Hoochie Coochie Man, Roadhouse Blues, I think I Love You To Much, When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky, Confidence Man, How Blue Can You Get, All awesome ones of Jeff Healey I think you'll Love.😎❤️👌
I would have suggested Stevie Ray Vaughn "Texas Flood" Live at the El Macambo . For the start of your journey. Maybe I'm cruel but. You'd be hard pressed to find a better performance. Except when Jeff and Stevie play together.
Roadhouse. Swayze, Lynch, Elliot ,Healey, Gazzara. Musik, Style, Stereotypics till Eternity, but an Movie which is concernd Common Notice. Watch, if you havent, and get the uncut Version, not the American "ihhh Breasts, evil" Version. You would regret not watch it;) Jeff Healey and then Hip Actors over the Top:) - nominated for 5 Golden berrys 1990(Most bad Film, Side Act(Gazzara),Main Character(Swayze), Script, and Director, but dint win any:D)
Cancer took his sight when he was 1, his life when he was 41 (R.I.P.). He got his first guitar when he was 3... taught himself to play with it laying across his lap because he wasn't big enough to play it holding it the conventional way.
Yes , The Jeff Healey Band played ' Roadhouse Blues ' in the movie !
💯💯💯❤️
Your reaction is exactly what it should look like. Your analysis is spot on. Jeff is only really known to those in the know. Much like fellow Canadian Frank Marino. These guys are top-notch guitar players and should be listened to and shared.
yeah Frank Marino live at Agora Theatre top shelf mind blowing
As a fellow Canadian its great seeing Jeff being remembered and listened to on an international platform! He was a genius natural musician...brilliant and gone way too soon! Thank you for bringing him back!
He wasn't just a great blues musician, he also played other instruments, including trumpet and I believe piano. He fronted a jazz band as well, in Toronto, owned a club, had a massive collection of Jazz 78s and hosted a show on CBC radio where he would play selections from that collection and talk about the history of the music.
That is incredible!!
I did not expect him to do what he did at the end! This was amazing!
Indeed, A legend that left us too soon. He died in 2008, a sad loss to the music industry & to fans.😎❤️👌
I loved the smiles on his band mates faces at the end.
Congrats. You have been born into the Jeff Healey universe of awesomeness.
as the years go passing by is another great live performance by jeff.
I once met Jeff at his club in Toronto. He insisted that people just call him Jeff. He was friendly, gracious and humble, just a tremendous human being. You really couldn't help but love the guy.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing another one of his performances, this was wonderful
Saw him in a pub in '88, right before this album dropped. Simply amazing! 🇨🇦
That's awesome!!!
I am so old but had the pleasure of seeing Jeff play more then 20 times in Toronto. Not only was he an amazing guy but so talented
You need to do Jeff doing As The Years Go Passing By, there's a killer live performance that will blow you away
Saw Healey live once in Denmark ....it was insane. A blind man just kicking ass on the guitar!
Jeff Healey... a legend. One of my favourite guitarists, and an unbelievably expressive and talented musician. Thanks for reacting to him! :D
💯❤️

This man was a musical genius, his band also was in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, it's such a shame that he's gone and yes all of what you said is true♥️n OMG the incredible legend Dr. John
💙💙💙💙💙… Jeff Healey brought me here… Lovely reaction… Subscribed!!
Jeff Healey is fantastic! For another live performance, check out Jeff and Stevie Ray Vaughan doing 'Little Sister'. So much greatness on the stage.

Saw him live many times. He is a legend
I was lucky enough to catch Jeff Healey on his first UK visit (I think it was actually the first date of the tour), and he was phenomonal . . .
Oh that is awesome!
There are so many people I wish I could have seen and Jeff Healey will forever be one of them
My mom used to listen to Jeff Healey. I think Angel Eyes is my favorite.
ANGEL EYES WAS ONE OF HIS MOST POPULAR SONGS
@@margaretsargent1084 it's a beautiful song.
❤️
Oh My Sweet Summer child! That guy on the piano is none other than Dr John!
You should look into him, he's an amazing talent!
Amazing Jeff Healey!! Greetings from Brazil✌
Love from the UK my friend
@@GOTGames I like your Nightwish and Floor Jansen reacts. She is wonderful!😁
For some more iconic live performances, I would suggest Rush - YYZ Live in Rio, Rush - Working Man Live in Cleveland, and any live song from Triumph at the US Festival 1983
Yes! Been waiting on this one. I knew it’d blow you away 😁
You weren't wrong ❤️

You really need to react to Stevie Ray Vaugh "Texas Flood" live at El Macombo. Buckle up because it's a wild ride. Arguably was one of if not the best blues guitarist ever.
Definitely definitely will be!!

He was sensational. He was a gift from God for everything to enjoy.
Amazing when you think he was only 22 years old when this was recorded.
He will be sadly missed
Jeff also had a small part in a movie called Roadhouse with Patrick swayze 👍You should review Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Texas flood live at the El mocambo RIP SRV AND JEFF 🎵 🎶🎤🎸🐐💯🙏🎼
BEAUTIFUL REACTION
Thank you! Very kind ❤️
You need to see!!!
SRV/ JEFF Look at little sister. About half way through Jeff gets up an does his thing an SRV gets a WTF look on his face!!
💯💯💯💯
Wasn’t Jeff the musician in the movie Roadhouse? The one with Patrick Swayze.
Yes he was
that "old pianist" is Dr. John one of the New Orleans greats
No a na basie jeden z lepszych basistow na tej ziemi Marcus Miller!
shout outs to you first guy i watch pointing out the bass player man
Actually the bass player is the legendary Marcus Miller, who was the mainstay for several years in Miles Davis' group.
Jeff Healey is a legend especially his live performances.
I would recommend you check out Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways live from The Albert Hall or any Gary Moores live performances.
Definitely will check that out ❤️
Absolute banger. If you liked this Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan live at The El Mocambo will blow you away as well. Voodoo Chile from the same gig is none too shabby either.
Definitely coming soon!!
Rush song Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left in Montreal Canada 1981.3 man band that can play.
Amazing sound from 3 people. Fantastic musicians.
Best band of all time.
Jeff Healey's eyes were removed before he was one year old due to eye cancer. He has two glass eyes.
Im binge watching your videos haha!! Please continue to react to ONE OK ROCK! We would love to see your reaction to their live performance called "Deeper Deeper (Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium)" I think you would be surprised fr!!! Hahah
this concert lasted almost 2 and a half hours with the same energy. Taka's voice is just pure energy!
I can say...
I recorded a One OK Rock reaction yesterday ❤️
@@GOTGames Yay! looking forward to your next ONE OK ROCK reaction!! ❤
As always, really REALLY enjoyed your reaction. Jeff Healey was really an incredible musician, and his live performances were stunning, even if, for my personal taste, he kinda "overdid" a little bit the "show" part, you know... Standing up, jumpin' around, that kind of stuff. 🙂
I know it was "good for the show" for most audiences, but I've never been that kind of spectator. 😁
Now, if you want to check another INCREDIBLE musician who left us WAAAAY too early, you could check up the good old Stevie Ray Vaughan. In particular, there are a few live videos that I think would just blow your mind away: the "sound check" video, which is described as: ""Stevie just waking up then warming up." 😁😁
I'd sell all my relatives to play that way just "waking up then warming up". No, I'd sell them all just for playing HALF that good in ANY moment in my life, even just ONCE 😂.
And then there are more videos of him in concert... I'd suggest his cover of "Voodoo Child (slight return)", by Jimi Hendrix... Likely the best cover I've ever heard of that song. 🤩
But pretty much ANY video of him performing live will do. 🙂
See you at next reaction! 🙂
One of the best guitar players there was and he was blind.
💯
Hé oui c'était un bon, faut dire qu'ici le pianiste le batteur et le bassiste sont des stars dans leur domaine! Vers la fin de sa courte vie, il avait un jeu plus sobre, moins hendrixien, il était très fort en guitare jazz aussi...
Niesamowity gitarzysta i czlowiek! Jako jedyny jakiego znalem! Gral technika fi ortepianowa! Do tego niewidomy! Podziwiam! I ten glos! Blues rock! Na maxa! Uwielbiam jego muzyke! R.I.P! Jeff Healey!❤👍🏻🤘👌✌️✊️🙏🙏🙏 bluesa powstales i w blues sie obrocisz! Mam prosbe! Zrob cos dla muzyki! Nie przerywaj przy solowkach! Psujesz klimat!
First time I saw Jeff Healey he was in the original Road House movie.
"Best live" OK, you have to include Kenny Rogers LADY Live th-cam.com/video/roqqACI1ABY/w-d-xo.html. No earpiece, no auto tune, hell he didn't even have a cordless mic. This performance was making the rounds on YT a few years back, mainly because people today are amazed by his natural vocal skills. Always enjoy your channel dude.
Thank you my friend! Would be absolutely happy to check that out ❣️
See sometimes it’s good to be old as dirt. The first time I saw Jeff play was at MLG he opened for Bon Jovi!
Amazing reactions as always. Wondering if you've ever heard anything from Polyphia, and adding a request for the new Polyphia song "Playing God"
I don't think I have my friend, but would be happy to change that ❤️
Luv your reactions you have to review Rush song Working Man live in Cleveland. Fantastic.
Enjoy the ride.
The legendayt Dr. John sitting with Jeff and a house band. Now look up Doctor John.
Some of the things he does when playing almost appear impossiable. Ithink SRV is the man, but jeff has a nastier meaner sound. And man he is probaly as good and jeezz he's fast. I'm speechless
hey .an i saw this man at a bar ib 1096 in cgarloote hb
That was crazy! That’s some world class guitar playing! Great reaction as always! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻 #Wafflegang ❤️
Really was! Appreciate you Karla ❣️
The reason the live performances of the artist from the 70s 80s and 90s were so much then the artist of today. Is because performing live is where they cut their teeth and got noticed and broke through to their record deals. Today it's done from the artists bedrooms on TH-cam and tictoc.
Damn Marcus Miller smokin'!
was he in 'Road House ' with Swaze ?
Yes he was and hello to you, fellow H.O.G 😁🤟

Need to watch Jeff and stevie ray Vaughan together
Yeah taught himself to play from the age of 4 years old, became blind after having cancer at the age of one, amazing guitarist & singer, he appeared in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze as a guitarist performer. Sad loss to the music industry & Fans when he died in 2008. Other awesome songs he's done I highly recommend to check out are
Hoochie Coochie Man,
Roadhouse Blues,
I think I Love You To Much,
When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky,
Confidence Man,
How Blue Can You Get,
All awesome ones of Jeff Healey I think you'll Love.😎❤️👌
Wow I didn't know any of that, thank you Emma, and thank you for the recommendations! ❤️
@@GOTGames you're very welcome ❤️
Canadian baby wooooo
Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey playing together.
Idk if Rage against the Machine is your style of music but you should check out their live shows, mostly Pinkpop 93 or Finsbury park
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing reaction
Can you also react to
_LAGI_ by *BINI* 💚❤️💙
They are a popular PPOP Girl Group and its their new MV
Thank you! Happy to ❣️
It kind of puts the shit that has been out there for the last 25 years to shame
Angel Eyes and Look At Little Sister with Stevie Ray Vaughn
Dr. Hook on the piano
I would have suggested Stevie Ray Vaughn "Texas Flood" Live at the El Macambo . For the start of your journey. Maybe I'm cruel but. You'd be hard pressed to find a better performance. Except when Jeff and Stevie play together.
Live performance check out phil collins, in the air tonight
You should checkout Stevie Ray Vaughan live at the el mocambo playing Texas Flood and you can also try Dick Dale inventor of the surf guitar sound
Definitely need some Stevie Ray Vaughan
DR. JOHN ON PIANO
React to Harry Mack's Guerrilla Bars Prom night in DC
Its the best Guerrilla Bars ever
It's on the list, more HM to come
@@GOTGames great can't wait stay safe i love ur videos
Blind since an infant. Gone to soon from us. One of the great guitar players. But not reconized for it. Thats sad!
🔥
❤️
Check out SRV Texas Flood! Greatest EVER!!!😎
💯💯❤️❤️❤️
Before PRO-TOOLS, there were actual PRO'S!
Roadhouse
Bro, go for "Hasi" and "Ghar more pardeshiya" by Shreya Ghoshal from Bollywood ... I bet you will not regret
❤️
New sub - might want to check out a completely different, beautiful blues by Jeff, go see How Blue Can You Get, live at Nottenden. Peace from Toronto

Roadhouse.
Swayze, Lynch, Elliot ,Healey, Gazzara.
Musik, Style, Stereotypics till Eternity, but an Movie which is concernd Common Notice. Watch, if you havent, and get the uncut Version, not the American "ihhh Breasts, evil" Version. You would regret not watch it;) Jeff Healey and then Hip Actors over the Top:) - nominated for 5 Golden berrys 1990(Most bad Film, Side Act(Gazzara),Main Character(Swayze), Script, and Director, but dint win any:D)
❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen live performance (1981) is transcendent! Also a must watch for live clips!
🖒😎
