Oh snap! That Jeff Healey clip!! Fasten your seatbelts, secure your tray tables, and stow your mobile devices in preparation for takeoff!!!
Jeff Healey is from my home town of Toronto, Canada. I met him on a few occasions as he dated a friend of mine.Very sweet, genuine man. Yes he was in Road house.
Was in a bar just before became famous. See my ode/comment above^.
Jeff Healey is another Canadian treasure. Jeff also was an accomplished horn player and owned his own bar here in Toronto where he would often perform. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to see him live before he passed. RIP Jeff.
Just in case nobody else mentioned it, that was the incomparable Dr. John on piano with Jeff Healey.
♥️✌🏼😎
I tear up pretty much every time I see a reaction to this guitar great. Blind at an early age, tried to learn guitar the orthodox way, but switched to the lap style, and the world is better for it. Easily one of my top 5 guitar players!
Seeing Jeff Healey is both mind blowing and humbling. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert. It’s a crying shame that he was taken so young.
Seen him too in a bar in Canada. My comments above^.
Had 3rd row seats for Tommy a couple years ago. He is not from this planet 😊. Also got to see Les a couple times in N.Y. What a treasure.
Excellent, excellent video. 5 Stars. A real guitar players treat. Thank You
I seen Jeff Healy just before he became famous in Saint John NB Canada. He was amazing! He sat down at our table during the intermission. We were gobsmacked, & tried our best to talk with him. 1987 to be exact. Sad he died still young in the 90's or early 2000's.
Yes, Jeff Healey was in Roadhouse and he is blind. He is another Canadian icon and lost his sight to cancer when he was very young. His father gave him a guitar when he was three and because he couldn't reach the strings he held thr guitar in his lap. He and Stevie Ray Vaughan were good friends and there is a video of the two of them playing Look at little sister together. unfortunately he lost his battle with cancer when he was in his 40's. Cheers
Sad. I put my personal comment above^.
Didn't know Jeff Healey played with Stevie Ray, wow. Thanks for that awesome tipp, find it on th-cam.com/video/2HmLFyvFxTc/w-d-xo.html they really have fun together.
Thank you so much RJ you Nick. That was the medicine I needed.
Each one was astounding.
I’ve seen 3 of the 4. Tommy 7 times, Jeff Beck twice, Jimmy once with Invisible Whip.
As you said amazing talents.
Music is so wonderful.
Jeff Healy was a Miraculous guitar player. You need to check out Jeff playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan- it’s even crazier! 😉
Hadn't heard Jimmy Herring before. He's an awesome player. Loved that arrangement. Thanks for sharing.
Good day for you Nick! I can’t imagine being introduced to Tommy Emmanuel and Jeff Healey on the same day. I’ve spent years listening to both of them though they’re from different genres. I recommend getting deeply into the See the Light album, it is engineered extremely well and his band is phenomenal. 🎸🔥
Tommy Emmanuel is a phenomenal guitar player. I love "watching" him play. He plays with such love and emotion in his soul.
There are several yt videos of Tommy playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and they're all incredible.
More Tommy Emmanuel! That was beautiful! 🤩
Jeff Healy just blew everyone away! Maybe the greatest live performance ever
You're right, so good to a younger Jeff Beck in action. IMHO, the best. Thanks Nick!
Another fabulous masterclass.
Tommy is the best. A consummate player and entertainer. Seen him live loads of times. Check out his Classical Gas. It’ll blow you away.
I've seen Tommy, Jeff and Jimmy with the first two being my very most favorites. And yes, Healey was blind but in this magnificent wild performance Dr. John on piano was included! This Jimmy song was better than I've heard from him before--truly a standout.
Incredible virtuosic marathon- thanks to RG and Nick! I melted over "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"- SO gorgeous!! I'd never heard or seen either Jeff Healy or Jimmy Herring before. Jeff was incredible- he blew the house down! Jimmy really got the feeling of the George Harrison piece- it was terrific- and I really liked the bassist as well. Love, love, LOVED this marathon!
🎵❤️🎵
Lets not forget that no one could teach him to play like this...he had to find his way. Because of his play style he creates sounds that only he can make.
Beyond his unearthly skill, Beck was (is!) just an icon of guitar cool. The look is everything.
Tommy Emmanuel, an Australian, is probably THE best guitarist in the world. He is a musical genius! You need to watch and hear his own work named, 'INITIATION', based on the aboriginal/first nations culture of Australia. Some of it does not even sound like a guitar. It is other-worldly. It is MIND BLOWING!!! Tommy's deceased brother played with him and was an absolute whizz on guitar, too. They were well known around the world for their incredible guitarmenship. Tommy taught himself, when young, by listening to music on the radio and was playing what he heard -more than one guitar and other instruments at a time!(without understanding this was so.) He has no formal music background including not having the skill to read and write music.
Tommy and his brother Phil
Are both amazing guitarist
From Australia
Their electric stuff rocks
Tommy and Steve Howe are both CGP from Chet Atkins
Tommy E. is amazing . He has not been formally trained but wow! His piece about an Aboriginal ceremony in his native Australia is just awesome . He produces the sounds of the out back plains . titled 'Initiation' it's worth a listen even if it's for your own experience . I also like Ralf Illenberger with Martin Kolbe and Peter Autschbach , Don Ross, Calum Graham ,and the late great Michael Hedges. Also Michael Manring , bass player ' Monkey business man ' . there are some stories about Tommy and his experiences on video , his brother Phil jammed with him too , another awesome guitarist
You definitely have to check out Stevie Ray Vaughn & Jeff Healy jamming together to the song "Look at Little Sister". It's an amazing performance.
This was awesome Nick, thank you & did you say this was RJ who did this request. Really great stuff. I never heard of Tommy Emmanuel or Jimmy Herring before, both great stuff, the whole marathon was great. Yes Jimmy Herring was doing a Beatles cover also & yes it's George Harrison song, that was amazing.
Jeff Beck does a great job on the Beatles A Day In A Life to, should check that out. Glad you discovered Jeff Healey, he was an amazing guitarist who unfortunately is no longer with us.
But thank you both for two new discovers for me also. Great marathon guys.
Every time I hear Tommy play, I put my guitar in its case and close the lid.
I've seen Tommy live. You just can't imagine.....
Jeff Beck ditched the pick some time in the 80s... it was quite a change. He ditched the Les Paul, too! This is an incredible marathon. "Within You, Without You" was from The Beatles Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Well before the concert for Bangladesh, but yes, Harrison was learning from Ravi Shankar. Interestingly there have been a few really great virtuoso guitar versions. Besides this, Adrian Belew has done in live plenty, Andy Timmons did it (along with the rest of the the Beatles' album!), and The Mermen (guitarist Jim Thomas) did it... I love all of these versions. Prefer it instrumental for sure. But yeah all four of these guys are legends.
Thanks. See the Rick Beato Tommy Emmanuel interview. They call those "Lenny Breau style harp harmonics", and there are videos of Breau demonstrating them.(Harmonics are alternated with regular notes). It's not hard to see from this 1974 video that Jeff Beck was who Christopher Guest was trying to imitate as Nigel Tufnel in This Is Spinal Tap. This was at the point where Beck hadn't totally given up on using a pick. Now he only uses it for a few songs. Jeff Healey was promoting his first album here. George Harrison said he liked Healey's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Speaking of which - watch the reaction to the album version of Jimmy Herring's cover of this Harrison song from the Beatles' Sgt.Peppers album last year. It seemed to have a big impact at the time, so I thought you would like to see him do it live. Michele Michele had just included the original on a marathon. Before this Beatles song, you had also reacted to Herring's "Only When It's Light". You heard Herring recently playing lead guitar for Widespread Panic. He also played with the Allman Brothers for a short time, and in a group with Derek and Butch Trucks (of the Allmans) called Frogwings, and for a while with Billy Cobham in Jazz Is Dead, where they played jazz versions of Grateful Dead songs. He and his band also opened for, (and jammed with) John McLaughlin on Mahavishnu material on McLaughlin's farewell U.S. tour. You can find that on TH-cam along with him playing with his own bands and with a group of other guitarists called The Ringers. I also like his instrumental cover of Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You", but TH-cam has that split in half.
Jeff Healy did While My Guitar....before Herring!? Wow. Herring's blew me away here! Have to check out Jeff's if on TH-cam for sure!
@@billjones8503 The G.Harrison song Herring covered here is "Within You, Without You". Herring's studio version is on his 2012 album Subject to Change without Notice, if you want to check that one out.
@@-R.Gray- Omg big mistake on my part. lol Of course was Within You, Without You by Herring! Supernaturally beautiful!
Hey Nick,
It's him and hopefully you'll enjoy more from Jeff Healey and I'd found an even better live version of that song and I may send it to react or just to watch at your freetime!! Hope to hear from you soon!!
Thanks & Stay Metal!!,
Walter - 🤘❤🙏🤘
Jeff one of the Cats, please checkout the Blow by Blow album, and the Wired album, and Beck Bogart and Appiece/ Superstition! Thx for all that you do to educate the youngsters! And Jeff Healey Wow! I got to see Marcus Miller,with Miles Davis, and David Sanborn! Great Bass player
I saw Jeff Healey three times when he toured the UK in the 90's, fabulous player and because of his technique could bend a string like no other. He was blinded at the age of one by cancer, which went into remission for forty years before coming back to claim his life. When he was a child he loved blues and jazz and wanted a guitar and his parents bought him one and as he was blind had never seen how it was normally played so worked out his own style.
His parents thought he was doing it wrong and got in a tutor to show him how but the tutor said that he could teach him nothing and to let him carry on. I read a review of one of his concerts in a UK music magazine once, the reviewer said that his left hand was dancing on the fretboard like a demented tarantula, something that stayed with me.
Some songs for you to look out for
Angel Gets Caught In The Beauty Trap by No Man
She Flies On Strange Wings by Golden Earring
Tales Of The Unexpected by Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
Child Inside A Father by Ian McNabb
Cortez The Killer by Neil Young
Sound Track by Be-Bop Deluxe
Drivers Seat (extended version) by Sniff 'n' The Tears
The 70's was absolutely the greatest period in music ever and you're so lucky to be hearing it for the first time, your reactions take me back to my own youth, thank you for that.
Make a point to go down the Jeff Beck rabbit hole..One of the most incredible players and the most difficult to emulate.
Jimmy is awesome , like his playing with the Aquarium Rescue Unit ( Stand Up ) and Wide Spread Panic ( a very under rated band )
Yes yes
Jeff was in Road house
He is Blind
Great Canadian player
We used to see him in bars
Grossmans ?
Town pump vancouver
Beautiful : “somewhere over the rainbow “ Tommy ❤
Saw Jeff Beck at the Sands in 2016 for the Loud Hailer tour. Buddy Guy opened.
Rhonda Smith played bass in Jeff Beck’s band and she was awesome
I also saw Jimmy Herring at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA in 2018. He opened for John McLaughlin’s farewell tour. For the encore John & Jimmy played many songs together.
I wasn’t familiar with Jimmy Herring at the time, but after that show I actively looked for his music and any part of his discography.
That was a great selection of guitar innovators. It’s interesting that two of the four songs were Beatle covers. I never heard of Jimmy Herring before, but I’ll look for him in the future. Thanks.
Rory Hoffman is another blind musician holding his guitar in his lap like Jeff. Absolute monster player as well.
Don't know Herring but his tone just mesmerized you
Great reaction, thank you Nick.
For innovation I suggest Tommy Emmanuels composition ( or creation is more apt ) of Initiation.
His extended video of Classical Gas to be gob smacked.
And just watched him playing With a Little Help From My Friends live on an old strat with a band fronted by a dude called JD........
Tommy is very adaptable. lol
Bad ass!.. Great reaction 😅
Roy Clark - Malaguena on The Odd Couple TV Show would have fit in with this
One of my favorites : )
Try watching him live lucky to see him twice
Me aburro sin sus reacciones 🤣🤣🤣💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Really digging these little marathons you're doing...Tommy Emmanuel is a beast, you should definitely check out his collaborations with Mike Dawes, another Innovative acoustic monster. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely check Mike Dawes' tribute to Edward Van Halen after his death, with his arrangement of "Jump"... outstanding stuff.
Not to press a point, but Jump was originally written by Paul Anka. Though maybe Dawes used the Van Halen version as a start up for his.
Tommy E. has been my guitar hero for many years. Unfortunately, this one does not show why he is such a phenomenal talent.
Danny gatton called once the greatest unknown guitarist, Roy Buchanon another
I think you would love Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Texas Flood live at the El Macombo. It is a masterpiece
Yes, Beck’s Blow by Blow album is a keeper, hope you can pull up the lyrics to George’s Within You Without You, it’s Beatle good :)
wow! that was incredible, all of them. But never seen or heard Jimmy Herring before. His playing was the one that really got me. Was that Gavin Harrison on drums?
Jeff Sipe, who also used to play with Shawn Lane.
I never understood why no one reacts to young Jeff Beck from the sixties. For example, the Yardbirds Over Under Sidways Down. Or after the Yardbirds , Jeff introduced Rod Stewart while Jimmy Page teamed up with Robert Plant. Both were relatively unknowns. Jeff Beck Truth is a blues rock masterpiece as was Zeppelin one. Morning Dew, Shape of Things, Old Man River just to name a few.
Sure hope you've got those tickets for the 27th. It's a gig not to be missed!!
Marley siting!!!!🐶
🌼🌼🍁🍁
Check out Phil keaggy.One of the greatest largely unknown guitarists on the planet
Gotta check out Tommy Emmanuels other stuff including Classical Gas.
Hey Nick. Here's an innovator you probably haven't heard of: Monte Montgomery.
Keep reminding yourself that he's playing a hollow body acoustic.
Little Wing (Acoustic) - Monte Montgomery
th-cam.com/video/PjpkVv9OrZQ/w-d-xo.html
Festival International, Lafayette, LA 2002. I'm walking from one venue to the next and I hear Knopfler's Romeo and Juliet. I ease in close to the stage to see a guy in shorts sitting on the edge of the stage, nailing it. I mean perfect. After 3-4 just killer tunes, I notice standing in front of me, is none other than the bass player for Spinal Tap. Yep, Harry Shearer lol Just after this tune (encore), he turns and our eyes meet and we both just shake our heads and smile. I've seen Monte 7-8 times now. Stunning every time. And it's funny, a Monte show is like a Sonny Landreth show, in that there is always a row of open mouthed, guitar players on the front row, looking at each other, smiling, and shaking their heads... lol
GO SEE HIM LIVE!
(you may have to go to Texas... lol)
Joe Walsh introduced Frampton to the talk box
Most were inspired by Hendrix and blues masters..... Tommy was inspired by Chet Atkins , but thought Chet played alone so he learnt to play everything he heard on the radio...... he figured I if Chet could do it, he could to. lol
You should check out King Crimson- Eyes Wide Open. If you like the Herring. That performance reminded me of KC at that stage Fripp, Belew, can't remember the bass & drummer's names right now. Hella good show live in Japan
Sorry forgot to mention... awesome videos you guys do. Don't catch them all but I'm working on it
Jeff Beck seems to defy physics....
Also Zappa plays Zappa - Apostrophe
Have you seen Susan Tedeschi Derrick Trucks Any Day live ?
dont forget this almost sounds like a phone recording and would sounds even more amazing with a good recording since its very trebble heavy. Normally that would make mistakes sound even worse but there are not many. Only one missed note i could hear.
Can someone explain Jeff Healey's guitar at the end being on the ground it's just sitting there with no one playing it and there is still guitar notes being played?
He stepped on it - and if you watch his fingers as he plays, the sound on the video is slightly lagging behind the visual image ( though not enough to be distracting). Plus I think he brushed the strings with his hand when he went to pick it up. That's my guess anyway.
Ladies and Gentlemen-the incomparable-Mr. Jeff Healey.
Do you watch Buckethead?
React to nahuel pennisy blind guitarrist and vocal frontman from argentina
Those cascading harmonics are NOT easy to play even on a slow song, neverminded the way Tommy was playing them!
Good stuff but none of these come close to Joe Pass(Emmanuel is great) Not even close. A current great guitarist is Mary Halvorson, let's not forget our Sisters in music.
Yes, I love and appreciate Joe Pass too. But what's with these obsessive comparisons? This is art, not a sport where you can say one is definitively say one great player is 'better' than another. Each are wonderful in their own way, so let's appreciate greatness whatever stylistic label we may apply to them.
I think Tommy Emmanuel is the best player on the planet. The perfect combination of virtuosity and joy when he plays. You should check out his rendition of Classical Gas. Mindboggling. His brother was amazing, too, until his life was cut short... I believe cancer.
Phil passed due to an asthma attack a couple years ago. RIP Phil
