I"'ve never seen Road House. I heard it was a mediocre movie that is only loved because of nostalgia. I'll have to review this movie on my Patreon after I do the movie The Wall by Pink Floyd. I heard it's a must for Pink Floyd fans. www.patreon.com/poloreacts

Such a horrible thing to happen to anyone at any age, but to have cancer as a 3 year old little boy is heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how terrified he was to have sight and then he loses his sight all together. So sad, But He did turn out to be such a talented, loved man. We love you still Jeff.

No one else in the waiting room knew who he was so we were left comfortably alone. He had a beautiful mind, as well as great talent. Treasure those hours. 'Angel Eyes' is fabulous you should have a listen.

There are a bunch of them that all helped eachother, but most of them were part of BB king’s Stable. Stevie Ray, then Jeff Healey, then Gary Moore (when he got into the blues in late 80’s) then Joe Bonamassa. They were practically apprenticed by BB king. He certainly had a massive effect on thier playing and their careers after he taught them.

SRV was phenomenal. I think Jake and Elwood have to be given a lot of credit for opening blues up to a new generation and demographic as well. In 1997 I called a renowned blues club on Chicago's west side (FitzGerald's) to see who was playing that night. They said "some skinny blonde kid, he's good." That was Jonny Lang, he blew the doors off the joint. It seems since the 70s blues has been much more embraced and kept alive by white folks.

I was selling stereos in Toronto in Dec. 1989 and Jeff walked in with a receiver that needed repair. The store is huge and was super busy and as he waited to get his claim ticket i remembered that this song was on a mixed taped in my Walkman. I was able to rewind it and get it in a ghetto blaster as he was walking out the door and he heard it smiled and gave a thumbs up. I also saw him live with Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan at Skydome.

There’s something that I think is often overlooked about Jeff Healey playing standing up,… There’s something MISSING that makes him playing like that even more incredible,… There’s something that every other guitar player is using that he doesn’t even have on stage--and it blows my mind!!! What is it you ask???,…. It’s a simple “guitar strap”!!! To consider that there’s NOTHING holding his guitar up other than him--AND he’s playing it all while holding it without the aid of a strap exponentially ups the degree of difficulty!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

I was Jeff's hired piano player for a weekend or two at the Yale Bar in Vancouver around 1986. After-gig we'd all hang out upstairs for a few hours. I remembered Joe and Tom , the bass and drummer. They were always wary and protective of Jeff. That's why Jeff could let loose have a life, enjoy himself on tour, and mostly have fun after hours, . At least that's what I noticed....God Bless Jeff, Joe and Tom!

Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive fame talked about how you could pick up licks and ideas from watching other guitarists play but Healey's technique was so unique that it was very hard to apply it to regular guitar playing. Honestly, I don't know if people who don't play guitar can really appreciate what Jeff Healey did with his guitar.

Sorry but you aren't looking at this properly. For as great of a player as SRV was when you went to see him you knew you were going to hear the blues played on a 57 strat with a little bit of other shit sprinkled in which included what he is most famous for in a lot of people's minds , a note for note copy of a cover by Jimi Hendrix which makes obvious that Hendrix could be copied. Hendrix was around for 6 or 7 years which included 3 studio albums , one or possibly 2 live albums and a shit load of bootlegs. While it may have all been awesome it's not that much music. Beck played and recorded music for over 50 years in multiple genre's including one that was somewhat invented just so the powers that be could honor Beck with some type of an award because everyone who knew anything about music knew he was better than the guys the average person might know about and Jazz fusion became a thing. Two albums he recorded in the 70s are taught by professors of music in institutes of music around the world " wired " and " blow by blow" are two albums that no other rock guitarists have ever recorded and talk to guitarists let them explain just jow good those two albums are. And maybe the most amazing thing , he can't be copied by anyone which is why most of his music is never attempted to be recreated by anyone else and we know Hendrix can be copied because SRV did it and he was playing the blues which hasn't changed much since its inception. And just because he played it better than anyone else has in my opinion it's still just the blues with wicked solos. So with greater longevity ( it's just a fact that can't be denied), a greater range of different genre's and playing g a style no one else has ever played he just has more shit he brought to the table, fuck he was even known for playing a Gibson at one point. Beck wins the argument by any objective standard. And music is far less subjective than people think. Get back to me if you want proof of that point.

I was fortunate to go to his club Healey’s in Toronto years ago with a family member while there for work. I was so incredibly grateful to have him stop and speak with me for a few minutes during his break, such a warm and kind man and asked me if I saw his show here in my hometown so special. His passing left a void, he was very well respected in the industry, such a talented musician. He is so missed by his family and fans around the world

"Angel Eyes" was probably his biggest hit. Everyone had it played at their wedding back then. If I ever get married I still want it played at my wedding too. He did great covers of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Lost In Your Eyes". Other good ones. "I Think I Love You Too Much", "Confidence Man", How Long Can A Man Be Strong".

Jeff Healey like Stevie Ray Vaugh left us too early, but the legacy they left us is phenomenal. These two got me into the blues in the late 80's. Just changed my music taste. Another great from that time was Gary Moore who also left us too soon. SRV and Jeff Healey got me into going to a blues bar in my home town in the late 80's and then in the early 90's I would take trips to Memphis to see more artists like them. In the mid 2000s I made three trips to the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival which was unbelievable.

When they died doesn't tell you when they were most popular. Gary Moore was playing professionally in the early seventies . My point being they weren't from the same era , you just got in to his music at the same time as the other two.

If you loved this, you definitely check out his live rendition of 'As The Years Go Passing By', it's utterly brilliant, and really gives you a great view of his unique playing style. Jeff was a true Canadian treasure, so glad I got the chance to see him play live a few times. Great choice, great reaction!

The first time I saw Jeff Healey about year or two years before this performance. He was playing in a downtown Halifax bar Secretary’’s. He discovered a number of artists throughout his career, Amanda Marshall being one of them. When I first heard Jeff…I remember the who room being mesmerized. You would normally see everyone drinking , carrying on with their conversations etc..however it took about to the second note…everyone was just in awe…including myself…few years later…there he is on the big screen in RoadHouse. Amanda Marshall was a huge hit..big raspy deep soulful voice… Canada mourned when we lost Jeff…he was an inspiration to many artists from around the world.

Jeff Healey is a Canadian icon! Jeff lost his eyesight to cancer when he was a year old. His father gave him a guitar when he was three. He played it in his lap as he was too little to reach the strings. Cancer claimed him when he was in his early 40's. Stevie Ray Vaughan said that he was the only one that could push him to play better. Two legends gone too soon. Another great Canadian guitarist to check out is Frank Marino. Ain't Dead Yet Cheers 🇨🇦

As a Calif. teen in the 70's, I have to say that the guitar god's born in Canada leave me speechless! I just came to know Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush a year ago. I kick myself every day that I didn't see Marino, SRV or Healy live. Marino was doing things 20 years ahead of everyone else.

I was lucky to see him many times in concert. But the first time I saw him he was 18 years old and he played a small club in Montreal called Le Grand Café. There was only 10 people in the audience and I just could not believe what I was witnessing. He just blew me away completely.
