Jeff Healey- One of THE nastiest guitarists ever, absolutely unique, and a fellow Canadian. God bless you Jeff. Thank you guys- it's heartwarming seeing the love you have for his talents.
@@paulmorris8762 You're not wrong. I provided security for Colin at a concert he played in N.B. in '91- he walked the aisles amongst the audience with his guitar (wireless), behind his head, playing William Tell Overture. Crazy. And to think he had to audition to get the 'permit' to busk in a Toronto subway station, where he was ultimately 'discovered'.
How many times do you get to see a performance where everyone playing is a legend. Jeff Healey making that strat scream, Marcus Miller beating up that bass, Omar Hakim ripping on the drums and Dr. John smashing the keyboards. Doesn't get better than this folks
Yeah, this was Dr. John and the "Night Music" house rhythm section. All straight MURDERERS. And what a terrific show - top-shelf live music live on TV every weekend.
One of the best Dylan covers out there for sure - and his performance of 'As The Years Go Passing By' in Stuttgart, Germany is incredible, absolutely top-tier stuff!
RIP Dr. John killin those keys!!!! Jeff was an incredible musician i had the pleasure of seeing him share the stage with Miss Bonnie Raitt a show i will never forget! A Legend gone way too soon RIP Jeff Healey. Jeff doing Canada Proud!!!
Jeff was amazing, the cancer that took his sight as a child came back and took his life😢. Angel Eyes is another great song by Jeff, actually all his songs are great, and he played with a lot of other great guitarists. (He just plays a regular guitar) That’s Dr John on piano. Check his duet with Jools Holland, Boogie Woogie Twins, it’s crazy ☮️💜
Thanks Ann, first time checked out *Boogie Woogie Twins* Knew of them both, but not together. One of my favourite CD's *Last of the Whorehouse Piano Players* (sorry, my wife hates that title) duet pianists Ralph Sutton and Jay McShann.
Saw him play live here in Ottawa two times. One of the best guitarists to ever play the instrument. What a voice too. Have to tell you, my whole family is blessed to have been able to hear him play like only he can. Thanks for playing this song....
Jeff Healy was one of the greatest guitarist I ever had the experience to see in concert. It was truly an honor to see such a Talented Guitarist as Jeff Healy.He was such a Phenomenal Talented Man. R.I.P
This is my favourite Jeff Heally song. I used to plug my electric guitar into my ghetto blaster and try to play this. I am just watching all of the reactions to this song. I am laughing and bobbing my head, like everyone.
Jeff Healey, lap or no lap blind or not blind was one of the top 25 guitarists of all time. Had he lived longer he would have improved at his craft even more. he had probably his greatest success with his hit Angel Eyes its worth checking out totally different but a masterpiece in its own right. he was also the band on the soundtracck to the movie Roadhouse
@@jamesmcbride174 thanks for clarification I did not make that part clear for them. Epic moment.. Bouncer: you play party good Fer a blind white boy Healey: yeah and I thought you'd be bigger. Lol
To us he was the best he played with stevie ray von and he said it was the best he ever played against he was also in roadhouse and angel eyes is the best wedding song ever
From what I've heard, he was taught to play guitar the right way but found it more comfortable doing it his way....One of our Canadian treasures....You guys should check out his collab with SRV and also "As the years go Passing by", my personal favourite....
Mister Jeff Healey is rank right up there with Stevie Ray Vaughan in fact there is a video of both of theses legendary guitarist playing together and it is truly magic to watch. It is a crying shame that both of theses artists have passed away so young in their careers. R.I.P JEFF HEALEY AND STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN.
Jeff Healey was a virtuoso and so is his fellow Canadian master guitarist (jazz, blues. rock. big band, all on either acoustic of electric) Colin James - who toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Colin -and Jeff did a live acoustic jam (Killin Jive and What Do You Want Me to Do)
I don't know why, but him running his guitar strings across the back of the chair, and then laying it on the floor and lightly stomping on it, always brings tears of victorious joy to my eyes.
This was one of his best performances one of these days he's going to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame his singing his guitar playing it's phenomenal outstanding and very unique they'll never be another Jeff Healey. He was the best just like Stevie Ray Vaughan .Gary Moore. Eric Clapton . Jimmy Page. Jimi Hendrix. Rest in Peace Jeff Healey.
Thanks for playing this. Great video and great reaction! Saw Jeff play many times and like everyone else was completely awed by what I saw and heard. Jeff was sooo underrated and sadly unknown. Truly one of the greatest guitar players ever! Unfortunately he never became a house hold name which is so unfair to someone so talented.
Tearing up as I write this...Jeff was my buddies neighbor when we were kids in Oakville Ontario...we used to hang out and listen to him play in his parents garage...as great a player as he was...an even better human being...RIP MY BROTHER!!!
This performance ALWAYS brings me to tears. It’s one of the purest representations of the power of music on so many levels. You have a man who’s sight was taken from him…yet he had an unshakable vision. You have a stripped down band unit of guys who are all monsters in their own right and who’s souls are connected and speaking with one another on another plane. You have it rooted in the blues…need we say more about that? And you have the evidence that music connects us all regardless of our differences or color. Lastly you have some of the most blistering guitar work ever caught on camera. This makes the hair on my neck stand up and appreciate what a gift Jeff was to us all. RIP brother!
The late, Jeff Healey was an amazing guitarist. He made your feet move, your heart sing and your ears smile. Check out his backing band for this number, Omar Hakim on drums, Marcus Miller on bass and Dr John on keys. ALL amazing musicians. THIS IS music. IMHO ...and yes, that is a regular guitar. He is the prime example of learning to adapt to one's situation.
Saw him open for BonJovi the whole place was blown away one of the greatest live performers Ive ever seen. Half the crown didn't realize he was blind until someone walked him off stage at the end. When people say Jeff will blow your mind they are not kidding, he played with SRV live its on TH-cam.
Jeff was a gift to our world. Amazing artist. Really amazing. He was a beast! No scales, modes, just all natural. 🔥Nasty style which I love. Check out Junior Brown if you like. Another great player with an unusual guitar.
Jeff Healey lost his eyesight to cancer when he was one. His Dad gave him a guitar when he was three years old and his arms were to short to hold the guitar the usual way. No braille just amazing talent. He tried playing it the normal way later in life but went back to having it on his lap as that felt more comfortable. The gentleman on the piano is Doctor John who you should check out as well Cheers
@@debbieplato5107 I got to see Dr John in the mid-70's and he walked on stage in a gold outfit and a sparkly gold cape and a big matching glittery bag. Then before taking the piano, he walked across the stage throwing gold glitter on the audience out of that bag! Ahh, those were the days!
If you noticed, th right hand was playing a guitar style, the left hand is almost like piano motion. Jeff was adopted as a baby and started playing the guitar at age three. Lost both eyes to rare cancer and was plagued by reoccurring tumors over his life finally succumbing to lung cancer at age 41. In his short life, he accomplished more than most do in an average life span. His world was music and had a huge record collection. The style of playing the guitar on your lap is often used by artists that play slide guitar. It’s a blues style that uses a tube like object on one finger that slides along the neck of the guitar. Jeff perform this technique a couple of times. Google give a more musical explanation I think. In any case, he was an exceptional man and is greatly missed. RIP. ❤️
I was lucky enough to see him play at his club in Toronto a couple times before he passed. AMAZING shows! Also plays a mean trumpet. He had one of the largest of old jazz recordings and for a while had a jazz show on CBC radio. Rest in peace Jeff.
That'd be a monster backup band for any bluesman. Healey was always awesome live. You guys make being put 'on hold' not only survivable, but enjoyable. Thanks!
His first big hit (Angel Eyes) will always be my favorite, followed closely by his live duet with Stevie Ray Vaughn on "Look at Little Sister" - amazing performance, where Stevie actually steps back & gives Jeff the stage for his solo. Please check that one out soon.
Watched him from front row twice. Totally blew my mind. He seemed to channel the music from beyond.... RIP Jeff miss you. Thanks for the music and memories you left us.
He and Patrick Swayze both starred in Road House and now sadly, both are gone. He also did an amazing cover of The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
The gigantic smiles on your faces during Jeff's guitar solo told it all. He was an amazing talent. Y'all definitely have to react to more of his music. May I suggest 'Confidence Man?'
He plays it like one would play an instrument called "The Steel Guitar." RIP Jeff Healey, cancer took his eyes at 1 and his life 2 weeks before his 42ng Birth Day and a month before his 1st studio album in 11 yrs was released.
You may never see another group of musicians so together in a performance again. Everyone in this video is a legend, including the host David Sandborn. Dr John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, and Omar on drums. None of them in Jeff's actual band. Awesome.
He was always on, but even more-so here because this show had this house band, some of the greatest musicians of that era, or any era. They take it to another level and Jeff leads them to the promised land! Jeff also played jazz trumpet and jazz guitar. There are a lot of great guitar players, but Jeff has that extra fire that very few have...
Jeff Healey went to my high school about 5 years before me. He was a legend in the music department. Another friend, upon graduating played drums for Jeff’s band. He is such a talent. RIP JEFF 🙏🏼❤️🩹
I saw him in concert at a small concert hall from about 50 feet away. They were one of the tightest bands I've ever seen and he commanded the crowd There was nobody on earth like him. RIP
I seen him play in London in the very early 90s, again in the early 00s, and was due to see him again a few weeks after he sadly passed :( A hugely talented guitar player, and sadly missed
I can't believe from all the reactions to this song no one has ever recognized the Bass player hammering out those amazing bass lines, the drums or the Legendary Dr. John on the piano...ok, his playing blind is amazing...but come on the super group backing him?!?!
This is my favorite Jeff Healey performance,followed closely by his performance of Hoochie Coochie Man in the movie Roadhouse,it's great to see people discover Jeff and be in awe of his talent!!!
Saw him live at Newcastle city hall (UK) in 89. Mind blowing gig! He was all over the stage when he rocked out and the bass player was always there to guide him back to his seat.
Probably the third concert I ever went to in my life was Jeff Healey in Richmond, VA. It was fantastic! I feel privileged to have seen and heard him play.
Another AMAZING talent we lost too soon at the tender age of 41 to that evil cancer. Thank you for doing this reaction so we can introduce his music to others and keep his legacy going
Jeff had a few hits back in the 80's. He also owned some clubs in New York state. He played many venues in his day. Us baby boomers know of Jeff what a remarkable artist. He is in my list of greatest guitarists ever. May he R.I.P.
Stevie Ray Vaughn had a lot of influence with Jeff, and the guy playing the piano is Dr John another legend. Check out the video he does with Stevie Ray called "Look at little sister"
Jeff was absolutely amazing. So wonderful you did a reaction like this. Thank you and God bless you. There is no braille it's all Jeff feeling the music.
You have finally found Canada’s greatest secret. Jeff is sent from heaven, even though he can’t see it’s like he “see the light”. What a world class talent. Thankyou for putting this on your channel.
The talent this man had guitar - MONSTER - Yea he always brought it wow blues he made guys that could see bring thier skills up . still sad we lost him. Angel eyes is a great one too My girl and I like to slow dance to it . We had the same reaction back when we saw him the first time yall he was amazing it was a hard hit to music when he left us .
Jeff was an extraordinary human being and a truly gifted artist. For over two decades, Jeff enjoyed a successful music career that spanned rock, blues and traditional jazz. Grammy nominee and Juno award winner, he was a radio personality, a jazz historian and world famous record collector (owning a collection of 1920’s and ‘30’s jazz 78's that would ultimately top out at over 30,000 records). In addition to countless recording sessions as a guitarist, trumpet player, singer and producer, Jeff also recorded three albums of the traditional American jazz that he loved so much.

Jeff Healey- One of THE nastiest guitarists ever, absolutely unique, and a fellow Canadian. God bless you Jeff. Thank you guys- it's heartwarming seeing the love you have for his talents.
Nasty.....yep.
All I had to know was SRV thought the world of him, and what a door that opened for me!!! Healey, truly one of the greats!!!!!!
and of course another fellow Canadian Colin James who actually jammed live with Jeff and it's 2 masters having fun
@@paulmorris8762 You're not wrong. I provided security for Colin at a concert he played in N.B. in '91- he walked the aisles amongst the audience with his guitar (wireless), behind his head, playing William Tell Overture. Crazy. And to think he had to audition to get the 'permit' to busk in a Toronto subway station, where he was ultimately 'discovered'.
A seriously underrated performer. There are no words!!!!
There's a clip of Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughn playing together live that will absolutely blow you away
Indeed, a must see.
God being greedy, calling those two to heaven - I mean he already had Hendrix. And he's also taken EVH. Imagine the jam sessions up there?
That makes it sound as though it's much better than this. It certainly isn't.
Absolutely. Two gifts to the world at their rocking best. God rest both of them.
Stevie discovered Jeff! 😎✌
One of if not the best to ever play a guitar learned to play as a blind man ! What a gift this man was amazing !
How many times do you get to see a performance where everyone playing is a legend. Jeff Healey making that strat scream, Marcus Miller beating up that bass, Omar Hakim ripping on the drums and Dr. John smashing the keyboards. Doesn't get better than this folks
Yeah, this was Dr. John and the "Night Music" house rhythm section. All straight MURDERERS. And what a terrific show - top-shelf live music live on TV every weekend.
Maybe at a Rush concert before Neil passed.
Hakim is unreal.
Jeff is in the film Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze and his version of Dylans "When the night comes falling from the sky" is brilliant.
One of the best Dylan covers out there for sure - and his performance of 'As The Years Go Passing By' in Stuttgart, Germany is incredible, absolutely top-tier stuff!
Yes he was great in that movie
I love When the night comes falling from the sky!!
His cover of Muddy Waters' Hoochie Coochie Man is the best rendition of that song by any artist other than Muddy himself,imo.
Absolutely!
RIP Dr. John killin those keys!!!! Jeff was an incredible musician i had the pleasure of seeing him share the stage with Miss Bonnie Raitt
a show i will never forget! A Legend gone way too soon RIP Jeff Healey. Jeff doing Canada Proud!!!
Our Canadian Legend. RIP JEFF.

💯 I got to the point where Dr John was playing and was about to comment, but see you already got it covered. 💜
I LOVE Angel Eyes. ❤️
Thanks Ann, first time checked out *Boogie Woogie Twins* Knew of them both, but not together. One of my favourite CD's *Last of the Whorehouse Piano Players* (sorry, my wife hates that title) duet pianists Ralph Sutton and Jay McShann.
RIP to a Canadian Icon.. definitely check out his song Angel Eyes.. was the first song that brought me to him and fall in love with his music.
I'm so glad people are reacting to Jeff Healey, he was amazing.
RIP Jeff.

He is our favorite guitarist ever and angel was played as wedding song for our adopted son
To us he was the best he played with stevie ray von and he said it was the best he ever played against he was also in roadhouse and angel eyes is the best wedding song ever

Jeff Healey was Canadas greatest rock and roll guitar player. Claptonesque feel and finesse.
One of Canada's GREATEST guitarists ever. Just mind blowing. Got to see him open for the Allman brothers band back in the early 90s
Tearing up as I write this...Jeff was my buddies neighbor when we were kids in Oakville Ontario...we used to hang out and listen to him play in his parents garage...as great a player as he was...an even better human being...RIP MY BROTHER!!!
Thanks for that amazing visual Tim! I'm sure you realize that you were blessed to know such an amazing soul!

I saw Jeff healey play at a small bar where I’m from he was unbelievable very talented ❤RIP 🙏🎸🍺👍
i was happy to see you both impressed with jeff's guitar skills and thern he stood up and blew the roof off the building
Yeah no shit i was tearing up that's for sure . Jeff was definitly gifted and a kind man in public if u bumped into him at events.

Asia your expression on your face at 8:23 was priceless!!!!
His cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is great. Jeff was one of the best guitarist that most people have never heard of.
That is an amazing band with him: Omar Hakim on drums, Dr John on keys (react to him pls) , and Marcus Miller bass. Killer!
Jeff also played trumpet. Jeff Healey and the Jazz Wizards. Such a talent! RIP
What a treasure Jeff Healey was, a true Canadian hero. RIP legend!
I seen him live. But he didn't see me . . .
RIP Mr Healey . . . Such a talent . . .
Jeff, and especially the bass player, are KILLING IT!! Dr. John and the drummer, too!! What a performance!!
He was always on, but even more-so here because this show had this house band, some of the greatest musicians of that era, or any era. They take it to another level and Jeff leads them to the promised land! Jeff also played jazz trumpet and jazz guitar.

Jeff and his band was the band in Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze
Canada has always been overlooked and underrated in talent.
I got to see him in Dallas years ago, when he opened for Bonnie Raitt. Incredible musician…gone too soon. RIP
Thank you for checking out our Canadian ICON. One of the best guitar players of all time. May he RIP.
Jeff Healey went to my high school about 5 years before me. He was a legend in the music department. Another friend, upon graduating played drums for Jeff’s band. He is such a talent. RIP JEFF 🙏🏼❤️🩹
I saw Jeff Healey as the opening act for ZZ-Top. He was amazing! Billy Gibbins praised his talent!
The guy playing the bass is slapping it like nobody’s business .
Applause for the bass player, too. Amazing playing.
Legendary..producer, composer..bassist Marcus Miller who was also the musical director of the show
I saw him in concert at a small concert hall from about 50 feet away. They were one of the tightest bands I've ever seen and he commanded the crowd There was nobody on earth like him. RIP
Jeff's always been one of my favourites. The incomparable Dr John on the piano, too.
Jeff Healey is one of the all time great guitar players!
He's right there at the top of the best ever guitarists. He and Stevie Ray Vaughn do the song " Little Sister " together, and it's epic.
I seen him play in London in the very early 90s, again in the early 00s, and was due to see him again a few weeks after he sadly passed :(
A hugely talented guitar player, and sadly missed
Jeff went blind at the age of one from eye cancer, another great song by him is "As The Years Go Passing By".
Dr. John on keyboards! Jeff was amazing! This performance took my breat away...then and now!
I can't believe from all the reactions to this song no one has ever recognized the Bass player hammering out those amazing bass lines, the drums or the Legendary Dr. John on the piano...ok, his playing blind is amazing...but come on the super group backing him?!?!
Jeff Healey belongs right up there in the pantheon of great guitarists. You must react to Angel Eyes,
Dr John (Mac Rabenac of New Orleans) on piano, RIP
This is my favorite Jeff Healey performance,followed closely by his performance of Hoochie Coochie Man in the movie Roadhouse,it's great to see people discover Jeff and be in awe of his talent!!!
Saw him live at Newcastle city hall (UK) in 89. Mind blowing gig! He was all over the stage when he rocked out and the bass player was always there to guide him back to his seat.
Jeff was the Leading man in the Band that was featured in the Patrick Swayze movie "Road House"! He`s a Badass! RIP Jeff!
thanks for the good smash music- and RIP Jeff Healey and you see for ever the light...
The Jeff Healy band was the band playing in the movie "Road House " with Patrick Swayze.
There really are no words to describe Jeff Healy. On top of all of his mind-blowing talent, I have read that he was a nice, humble person.
Wow‼️
Probably the third concert I ever went to in my life was Jeff Healey in Richmond, VA. It was fantastic! I feel privileged to have seen and heard him play.
Healey, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, you're talking top shelf, all-time great. Ain't no one getting past Jeff. RIP
I had the great good fortune to see him a couple of times when his was the house band at a bar in Toronto. Incredible talent.
Asia, you'll love his song Angel Eyes, it was a big hit and really showcases his vocals. Much love from Canada, eh. ;)
Every time I see this video, I really like how much the drummer is into this!!
Not only Jeff Healey, but also the AMAZING Marcus Miller on bass.
Jeff has a video with Stevie Ray Vaughn titled "Look at Little Sister". It's beyond Great!
I cry every time I watch this, not because of sympathy for Jeff, but for His effort in everything we all struggle for. To see the Light.
Classic performance!! RIP Jeff... We lost a true musician way too soon.
Another AMAZING talent we lost too soon at the tender age of 41 to that evil cancer. Thank you for doing this reaction so we can introduce his music to others and keep his legacy going

Jeff was a class all his own! Such amazing talent! Rest In Peace 🖤

Jeff was an extraordinary human being and a truly gifted artist. For over two decades, Jeff enjoyed a successful music career that spanned rock, blues and traditional jazz. Grammy nominee and Juno award winner, he was a radio personality, a jazz historian and world famous record collector (owning a collection of 1920’s and ‘30’s jazz 78's that would ultimately top out at over 30,000 records). In addition to countless recording sessions as a guitarist, trumpet player, singer and producer, Jeff also recorded three albums of the traditional American jazz that he loved so much.
