1989 sitting in a bar in downtown Calgary, Alberta with my best friend watching Jeff perform a little gig. After the show he walked over to our table with a friend helping him and asked if he could sit down for a drink. We talked with him for a half hour or so and we left thinking it wasn't such a big deal. Years later I still listen to him and play along. Thanks for the inspiration and music Jeff.

[@joelmacdonald6994]

I’m not a Calgarian by birth, but by choice(many years later, half my life here now). Wish I’d had such a privilege. Jeff deserves to be recognized more. An amazing Canadian performer.

Que privilégio você e seu amigo tiveram! Jeff tocou no sul do Brasil mas não fui ao show pois para retornar para cidade onde moro,só no outro dia. Ele e Robert Cray Band,no mesmo festival em Porto Alegre,Rio Grande do Sul,Sul do Brasil. Tenho algum arrependimento pois sou fã desse brother,seus primeiros discos eu ainda tenho, são muito bons,mas a vida segue e seu legado é fantástico,isto é o que importa. Grande dia o seu com ele em sua mesa,uma baita de uma história para família amigos e outros mundo afora. Parabéns por seu relato dividido com outros fãs de Jeff Healey. Abraços do Sul do Brasil.

[@jameswilson8134]

The mere fact that Jeff taught himself to play guitar the way he did was nothing short of amazing. Stevie Ray Vaughn even said he thought Jeff was probably the greatest guitar player he had ever heard. That's pretty damn solid right there. R.I.P. Jeff .

Alfred Schwarz. I hope, We See him again alive. So god help. R. I. P. Jeff.

I could listen to this song 14 billion times in a row and not get sick of it. Raw talent, raw emotion, raw beauty. Miss you, Jeff.

[@robertbammerlin564]

I listened to Jeff since maybe 88 or 89. My Aunt and Uncle took me to see him at Peabodys pub in Cleveland ohio. It was just before See the light came out. Show was awesome. I am so glad I had a chance to listen, appreciate and soak in the greatness that is Jeff. Still get misty hearing his music. To his wife and his kids. Your husband ,your dad gave me so much joy listening to his stuff. Thankyou God Bless ya

[@user-fe4ef4uc3r]

Absolutely my favorite cover of this song and Jeff Healey is just beyond my mind's comprehension .

[@CallMeMister99]

If all this guy had was that rich, soulful voice, that would have been enough to front any band. The truth is that he wrote some great song, and played guitar quite unlike anyone else. His "All Along The Watchtower" still makes me tingle from head to toe, though I've heard it a thousand times now. RIP big guy. One of the best of us.

[@DaveLeach697]

Holy...fucking...shit... I watched Jeff rock in Roadhouse but I had no idea how many brass balls this guy was carrying. Fucking awesome!!! Neil Young needs to bow and give praise to this artiste. Healey turned a hurricane into a cyclone.

[@np-jf1zw]

I saw this guy play in Santa Fe New Mexico. The best concert I have ever been to. He's even better live than on CD. He was playing in a little bar similar to the one in the movie Roadhouse. Fantastic voice and his skills with the guitar are amazing. It's too bad he passed away.

His disease didn't stop him from being one of the best musicians ever. He inspires so many people around the world

I played in a rock outfit in Houston for yrs. When we weren't playing we were watching other acts & guitarists to the point of boredom. But when I got a backstage pass to watch Jeff Healey it was like something I'd never seen before. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@republikofnfld]

Wow Jeff Healey, he was so underrated even in his prime. I met him about twelve years ago, he was one of the nicest and friendliest people i've ever met. So called musicians today don't have a 50th of the heart and soul or talent he had. RIP buddy

[@northerngeckocanada9826]

Jeff Healy, may God give you everlasting peace. You filled the world with your beautiful soul & extraordinary musicianship. You are a national treasure for Canada & all people who love music. Thank you for sharing your gift of music, your songs, your voice & incredible guitar playing. Your star shines brightly.

Poetic words my friend

[@amistrat1]

This gave me the shivers! Jeff had so much feeling flowing out of his guitar like no other! This is the first time I see this video and Jeff was in his prime. I was lucky to meet Jeff several times in my life. The first time was at a Chicago Dinner on Queen street downtown TO. He walked alone and sat right next to my buddy and me and was feeling the table for an ashtray, so we handed it to him, While we are still freaking from the occasion, Alix Antony came down the stage and asked if Jeff would like to jam. So, Jeff said yes and asked if there is a guitar he can play. I was right next to him and I said right away, Jeff take mine. Jeff went up and did three songs and was later was kind enough to sign my pickguard. What an awesome human being he was. He had a cool sense of humor. RIP Jeff thank you!

I saw Jeff play here in Toronto and was an instant fan. Man he can play that guitar like it was an extension of his body. An awesome talent and truly one of the best guitar players ever, a real Canadian icon and we as Canadians love him and are blessed to have him. When he passed my wife and 2 boys went to the Parklawn Cemetery sought out his resting place and put some flowers by his side. I left him a pic, so he can play on!! Love you buddy Jeff and thank you for just being you!

[@MrGmvanegas]

I had the good fortune to see Jeff Healey live at the Long Beach Blues Fesitval might have been like 2007 (whoops it was 2002). He came out playing his guitar on his lap like he did. I swear his guitar sound live was incredible. I kid you not, I had goose bumps all over and for some reason my eyes leaked tears all over my face.. He played as the years go passing by by the great albert king.. He was a legend.... much love to Jeff Healy.....

RIP Jeff Healey. Died 8 Years ago today, March 02, 2008, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born March 25, 1966, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey was a blind Canadian jazz and blues-rock vocalist and guitarist who attained musical and personal popularity, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. He hit Number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Angel Eyes" and reached the Top 10 in Canada with the songs "I Think I Love You Too Much" and "How Long Can a Man Be Strong." I saw and met him on a couple of occasions. One of the Nicest people you could ever wish to meet and a Phenomenal Guitarist. RIP Jeff.

Silly to compare really, Jeff was a fantastic player, but this tune is not technically demanding. Neil Young, at his best has the gift of being a sublime composer and of choosing exactly the right notes to make a simple tune sound spectacular and emotionally profound, this is what Jeff is celebrating in this piece. Massive respect to both of them
