As a young Canadian lad in the mid '80s, me and my buds went out to a local pick-up bar. We were kind of upset because there was a lineup, as they were apparently featuring a live artist we had never heard of that night, whereas normally they just had a deejay. But the posters cited kudos by the likes of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, so we waited in line. When we got in we sat ten feet from the two-foot stage behind the tiny dance floor, and then the band came out, leading a blind guy. My buddies and I looked at each other quizzically, then started to watch and listen. All jaws dropped. Nobody danced that night. I will never forget it.

[@mikepaton3614]

Wished i had seen him live.

[@janicekirkeby303]

He was great to see live.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Very cool to hear thanks man👍❤️ He's been my fave guitarist since I first heard him around '88-'89 I reckon. See the Light still is a great album & the title track has always been my go to for 🎸 squeal 🎸😁 Then the movie Road House hit & I was like "f@ck yeah Jeff"👍😎 "You play pretty good for a blind white boy." ..Yeah & I thought you'd be bigger. Then came Hell To Pay 👍👍 Thanks Jeff🍻 🇦🇺 ✌️

[@robertlivingstone3364]

Saw him in a little bar in Toronto, same thing, absolutely mind blowing

[@jebaker6942]

It still angers me Jeff didnt get the praise he was due at the time.

[@debbielockhart7762]

He was very highly regarded here in Canada. Amazing talent.

[@jpman9795]

He belonged up there with SRV, Clapton, BB King and all the other legends...and is only known for playing in the movie Roadhouse. Those of us around back then remember him as one of the greatest guitar players ever.

[@KCINUAEB360]

check out the video of Jeff Healey playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@BuckeyeBassMaster78]

"Jeff Healey was a true master of the guitar,had a one of a kind soulful singing voice as well"

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

RIP, Jeff was pure filth when he played 🔥🔥

[@joeday4293]

I got to see him live twice. What a force of nature.

[@WilsonEatsASMR]

Blind, plays guitar like a piano and one of the best blues players ever to exist in his short life. Thanks for the reaction. This is my all time favorite moment from Jeff.

[@musiclover9361]

I was so thrilled to see Jeff live three times. He was a stunning live performer.

[@reecehills8772]

This guy is a pure legend theres a videos off him playing when the night comes calling with him playing the guitar behind his head now guys thats something to see like im not even joking

[@rickward460]

Any guy with a Bird on his shoulder can't be all bad😉 And the look on your face is priceless!! Spread the love Brother 😎🇺🇸

[@bevieann61]

Jeff Healey also does a great while my guitar gently weeps

[@musiclover9361]

The second time I saw Jeff Healey play this live, he dropped the guitar onto the floor, pumped the whammy bar with one foot and played the fucking melody with the heel of his other foot.

[@stevetanner3019]

I you ever watch the Patrick Swayze movie “Roadhouse”, The Jeff Healey Band” is the house band at the bar. Jeff’s biggest hit was a ballad called “Angel Eyes”. It hit #5 on the U.S. Hot 100. Jeff was a good Canadian boy. Amazing talent.

[@bhobo09]

Not only BB King and Stevie Ray Vaughan praised him Eric Clapton did also and was onstage with him Jeff Healy was awesome! Phenominal talent!

[@tonygSDWR]

I know this video is four years ago, but ifyou're still interested, I'd recommend Jeff's show from London in 1989, it's all over KZbin. From start to finish one of the best shows IMO, and it delivers on every song. It's so cool seeing people react to him that have never heard of him, I saw him many times and it's kinda unbelievable live.

[@TSOE-JustGoodMusic]

The amazing, outstanding, mindblowing, wonderful JEFF HEALEY ❤❤❤ Thanks for this touching reaction!

[@cspringer333]

That's Dr. John on piano. Check out Such a Night, In the Right Place or many of his other songs. One of New Orleans' Greats!

[@papawjohn9588]

True, the late, great Dr John. There haver been many blind guitarists in the Blues field.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Lovethe movie Roadhouse because it have Patrick Swazye, Sam Elliott and Jeff Healy is the house band.

[@ilovemusicmovies1789]

Agree!!! Triple threat and an awesome one at that

[@robertpearson8798]

Not sure what I love more, Jeff’s playing or people’s reaction to it.

[@bamsbbq]

now you get to feel what we have felt since the beginning...love watching these reaction videos to Jeff Healey...Rip Jeff, talent taken away from the world much too soon

[@xr4tihonk]

Hey thanks for taking my suggestion, i knew you would love it! Jeff playing with Stevie doing SRV's "Look at Little Sister" is also great, you can really see the respect Stevie had for Jeff as a player.

[@Eugwel]

I'll never pick up my guitar again! Healy made fools of us all.

[@jetsblu4444]

My brothers and I went to see him back in the day at the Winnipeg Concert Hall here in Canada. The acustics in the building are awesome. It was friggin loud and super clear. Blew everyone's mind. What a talent.Will never forget that night.

[@sundayze]

Blue Jeans Blues, Angel Eyes, Confidence Man and more.....plus Jeff and SRV, good stuff!

[@RitaBowen1]

Angel Eyes is a beautiful song and Don Hensley is another one you should look into the last worthless evening is his song you and Stevie Nicks have one call Leather and Lace that is Kick-Ass 2. I just found your Channel so I'm way behind but I love what I'm seeing

[@jimlustyk8459]

That was amazing. I’d like to see a sighted person come close to that!! Thanks for turning me onto Jeff. May he Rest In Peace.

[@John-gv2ug]

Another great talent who left us too soon. Jeff was an orphan, was adopted as an infant, had to have his eyes removed, then as a child he developed his unique style. Lost to cancer at 41.

[@wendellburkhart2483]

Most people couldn't play this good with eye sight much less without and he is technique is off the chain ⛓️ Nobody else ever done this .

[@lindas2606]

Jeff Healey was born here in Toronto in 1966. There is a park in the city named after him and, until a few years ago, he had a roadhouse style restaurant in downtown Toronto. He also has a well-deserved star on the Canadian Walk of Fame, also in Toronto. I was lucky enough to see him perform live in the early ‘90’s when he was touring with another magnificent Canadian artist, Colin James. It was a great concert and because I was friends with the concert promoter I was invited to the after party and found Jeff to be quite fun, friendly and gracious. It was a night I will never forget. That man had talent and a brilliant mind. Check him out in the movie, “Roadhouse” starring Patrick Swayze, where he plays, well, a blind bar musician.

[@oktavum]

2:27 That bass player is Marcus Miller :) a legend in his own rite

[@danlalonde2751]

I took my son to see Jeff Healey at his club in Toronto .{ HEALY"S } Needless to say he was impressed. The following week my son went to the largest music store in Toronto to purchase a Jeff Healley CD . He could not find anything on Jeff Healy in the store . The sales person said that they weren't stocking anything . He spoke to the store manager and told . him The following . How is that you are a Canadian music store and you are not carrying anything of our Canadian artist who has had hit songs. My son was not a happy camper.

[@sluggoandrews9977]

You were just dumbfounded by greatness. Jeff was a ONE of a kind guitarist. I been watching him for many years and still get awe struck watching him play. Your reaction is the same as mine the first time I saw him.

[@edwinsemidey7405]

dam this guy is awesome

[@MegaGhool]

Jeff healey "angel eyes"

[@bradclancy7277]

Seen him in Brisbane early 2000's. The man walked out on stage sat on a chair and kicked musical arse for 2 hours. That was some dope shit

[@LJA46]

Let's just say that the music moved you. I've been a fan of JH for decades and it still moves me to watch him.

[@ottawavalleychronicles1958]

R.I.P JEFF OUR CANUCK BROTHER...DR. JOHN THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. BOTH TOP FLOOR IN THE TOWER OF SONG...GREAT VIDEO

[@heidisprouse4290]

His version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is beautiful too.

[@timflint3408]

“Not bad for a blind white boy” ❤️❤️ “Yeah and I thought you’d be bigger”

[@bradleymaclean4553]

I First Saw Jeff About 5-6 Yrs Prior To This Video - It Was At A Bar In Toronto Called 'Larry's Hideaway'...It Was Mid Week & I Had Gone There With A Bud To See A WHO Cover Band - Jeff Was The Opening Act & There Was Maybe 10 Of Us There When He Was On Stage....When He Got Up & Then Reached For His Chair (The Bar Was Kind Of That Classic Dark & Dingy Vibe Setting), I Only Then Realized He Was Blind And As I Was Already Impressed By The Little I'd Heard (I'm A Bit Of A Blues Player Hacker Myself), I Eventually Turned To My Bud & Suggested That I May Never Pick Up The Guitar Again As I Am Not Worthy!!!....He Made A Lasting Impression On Me That Night & I Did What I Could To Spread The Word & Was So Happy To Eventually See Him Elevate And For The World To See What I Saw That Night.....It's Very Cool To See That He Is Still Blowing People Away And Moreover, Inspiring People Through His Music And Limitless Determination - He Was/Is A National Treasure.........Bz...

[@martinkingston1498]

Check out the Jeff Healey Band playing HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN live at Montreux, you will love it. Look at little Sister live with Stevie Ray Vaughan is brilliant too.

[@christophercollins9333]

That was awesome! Never would have seen it without your channel ~ keep up the great work 👍

[@jeffk2526]

I love Jeff Healey! He does an amazing song called "I Think I Love You Too Much" which is an amazing guitar pairing with Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits. He has such a great voice, perfectly suited to great blues rock music. Great reaction video!

[@gregmardon6973]

Your reaction it's pretty common when people are first turned on to this guy, he became one of the best blues players of all! It's a small group of guys but he was definitely one of them, and someone down below here said how sad it is that the greats are taken away from us way too soon♡ Johnny Winter will blow your mind if you want a great blues player, his mentor was BB King!

[@larsickenroth7169]

Great version. Jeff was amazing. Sidenote: 'that bassplayer' is Marcus Miller, right?

[@hillarychapman1]

drummer is Omar Hakim

[@hildapederson8174]

Jeff was also a mean jazz trumpeter player. He was a national treasure...

[@richardsoutdoorworld5284]

When God puts Talent in someone , No Handicap can hold you back !

[@robertcringle4865]

This performance is from the David Sanborn Show. Sanborn did the intro and is one of the greatest jazz saxophonists of all time. The show's house band is Jeff's backup and the legendary Dr John is on piano. I saw Jeff twice in the eighties and they were both amazing shows. He was a great showman. RIP Jeff.

[@robertrohde4579]

Best guitarist I ever saw live! I saw Jeff Healey 3 times in concert! Note that I said he was the best I ever saw live and I saw him open for SRV!

[@mvagusta6757]

Jeff reached the Jimi Hendrix Stratosphere. A rare few others got close to that Realm, like SRV, etc, but the thing is Jimi was more than just a guitar vertuoso, he was a genius song creator/lyricist/composer and on top of all that, an Explosive performer. You could say he went out on a limb, doing a Cosmic dance, to find out how far he could go until the limb broke. No one else has done that since he left this material plane. Jeff reached a big part of that Stratosphere that Jimi created in, and breathed in constantly. Now you can judge for yourselves. I loved Jeff alot!!!.

[@myownchannel247]

Jeff Healey was unbelievable, btw this was not even his normal band backing him in this video. I recommend any of his music though, SRV was a fan of his and helped to promote his career. Try any song from his see the light album. Mary Had A Little Lamb by SRV , check it out also.

[@grilledspaghetti]

I was wondering if Marcus Miller was a regular part of his band or not. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@jmathieson15]

There’s also that great video of them playing together. Look at little sister I think

[@bucephalus8435]

One year on Canada Day we came upon a band just finishing setting up in a park, so we decided to stick around along with about ten other people. It was the Jeff Healey band. Needless to say by the end of the concert, the park was packed. One of the best shows ever.

[@deannakinsman6790]

Oh my HOLY HELL SWEET JESUS...first time hearing Jeff!!! I'm HOOKED...🔥🔥🔥 And the guy workin those ivories...whooo lawdy lawdy 🔥🔥🔥And THEN he started playing with HIS MOUTH...FECKIN AMAZING❣❣❣ Thank y'all for introducing me to Jeff Healey. #patrolgaming 💗🔥💗🔥 WOW...that's it...I can't even...👏👍👏👍

[@mstewart109]

Wow!! This is proof that if you are determined in life you can succeed no.matter the obstacles...blown away....I am with this guy reviewing this-not sure what to say...and the guy commenting on it just now says play the one with him.and Stevie Ray Vaughn....OMG!!!-

[@mikepaton3614]

I heard Jeff Healey in 88 (see the light album), I watched Roadhouse 1989, seen Jeff play behind the cage and was hooked. Got "Hell to Pay" late 1990 then the rest of the albums that followed. Then there was no You Tube. Its been great over the years watching him play on videos, just WOW. What a player and one of the guitar heroes who did not stay long enough on this earth to truly get the recognition he deserved. Two guitarists I wish I had seen live Jeff is one and then Gary Moore. Two of the all time best.

[@ronstoner1823]

Best concert I ever went to was Jeff Healey opening for ZZ-TOP. MANY YEARS LATER I couldn't tell you which show was the best.

[@terrybeaud9348]

I saw Jeff and his band around 1988 on his "see the light tour", it was in-freakin-credible !!! :))

[@i43pammy30]

Your reaction to Jeff was the best I've enjoyed.

[@nattydread666]

all hail the greatness that was JEFF "FUCKIN" HEALEY .. any version smashes it xxxx

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

Jeff is about 20 years old in that video. He died at 41. Fate stole about 23 years of magnificence from us. So far. Just search KZbin for the Jeff Healey Band.

[@leonardhill4440]

How awesome would have it been if it was Stevie Wonder on the piano.? Would’ve been so cool Just incredible

[@toolshed7652]

World class musicians, all of them

[@musiclover9361]

I saw him play live three times and on one occasion, he dropped the guitar onto the floor and proceeded to play a solo by by kicking the shit out of the strings with the heel of one of his cowboy boots and hammering the whammy bar with the other. Unbelievable!

[@michaelbannon2525]

I saw him play live at Niagara Falls on New Years Eve, outside at Clifton Hill, as it was snowing. Best Eve ever

[@mvagusta6757]

I know it's been 2 years, but you probably have not heard of his Hammersmith Odeon London performance. I'm a Hendrix fan since 1969, so I can tell you that the Hammersmith performance is the only concert with maximum fire under it. He did it on purpose cause he wanted to be part of the legacy that venue holds. All the top greats played there of the 60's and 70's. Mind blowing stuff. There are many other great performances out there. He did some amazing All Along The Watchtower, Hendrix cover.

[@PatrolNation]

I'll check that out thank you

[@jmathieson15]

A Canadian icon 🇨🇦 Met him at a restaurant in London, Ontario. Very humble man

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

Never saw this particular one, the best I have ever seen!! Thanks for sharing this with me!!

[@cmrjc74]

Jeff Healy one of the best most def

[@teeevans8718]

Very privileged to see him at one of his last public playing appearances where he performed at a Stevie Ray Vaughan memorial concert neat Dallas. So awesome to see him up close and personal. Amazing.....2 gifted guitarists gone way too soon!

[@sambufalini4198]

Healy wasn't just a blues player. He was also a student of early jazz, with a record collection in the thousands which he played while hosting his own radio show. It was my great good fortune to be sitting in with a swing band (Bradley and the Bouncers) in Toronto back in the late '90s when Jeff sat in as well. A sensational player and a great guy. RIP.

[@vickilee7494]

He was a true shredder

[@Pierre50mm]

Reaction when you used to listen to hip-hop, cRAP and Bilie Ellishs. Then, you discover what real music is: true singing, rythm, harmony and melody.

[@stevesmith1764]

There will never be another Jeff Healey

[@countroshculla]

You've just been introduced to the musical talents of my musical hero. RIP Jeff, we still play your music and wonder in amazement at your awesome talent.

[@bevieann61]

He was in the movie roadhouse! Stevie ray Vaughn plays Mary had a little lamb!

[@scottbohe7047]

"too much awesomeness" your quote sums it up nicely! Jeff is so talented - not one wrong note!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

'takes head phones off, I'm done, put headphones back on...hehe, great reaction!

[@cwcroswell]

One of my favorite guitarist of all time!! His skill and speed were astonishing!! Miss him so much..💔🎸🎼✌️❤️

[@earlroberts4968]

Throughout his life, he. Collected over 10,000 historical Jazz 78's the really old records

[@BlueBagger83]

RIP to both Jeff and to Patrick Swayze. Loved Jeff's groups' cameo as the house band in 'Roadhouse'!!!

[@squidwardshouse5431]

And Dr. John 😢

[@MRBrien77]

💜💜💜💜 your reactions to these guitar icons

[@masoncochraniii7671]

Jeff’s band was also in a very popular movie, Roadhouse, with Patrick Swayze. I feel it’s a must see. Great band. Check out either Angel Eyes or My Guitar Gently Weeps.

[@funandgames7847]

Yeah he was really special talent didn’t let bad things get in his way he overcame them. Enjoy the ride go to see Blue being active.

[@jmathieson15]

Stevie Ray Vaughan plays Mary had a little lamb. It’s pretty good😂

[@ivofurtado8032]

Makes you want to cry big man

[@geraldpribula4911]

Great video Patrol Gaming. Jeff Healey was amazing. The comments are right on: the Jeff Healey/SRV video is great!

[@Lupin788]

This live rendition of "See The Light" was certainly one of his greatest performances. My personal favourite Jeff Healey song is "Angel Eyes". You should also react to this live performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qziXd7m8uHisU Of course, it wouldn't be a Jeff Healey performance without the requisite extended guitar solo. ;1

[@inertiallychallenged]

Check out Albert Cummings, Live at 62 Center, 500 Miles.

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

*As the years go by* as well 👍⚡😳😎

[@THEC.O.VISIT.]

Guess you aren't ready for that, but your kids....awww fuck it WE'RE READY!!!!

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

Do you recall a guitarist by the name of Jose Feliciano? He was a fantastic guitarist who was, like Jeff, as blind as a corpse.

[@garryokeefe1605]

There is a jam with him and Stevie Ray that is also great, but for me this solo performance tops it in my opinion, he was just a sensational guitarist.

[@jimithy47]

Jeff Healey's talent was phenomenal and watching him purely intriguing. I recommend anything by him but I love 'Jeff Healy Band Montreux- Hoochie-coochie-man.00.avi'. Looking forward to the next one by him or SRV.

[@MRBrien77]

He was the bar band in the movie Roadhouse

[@libertylion6088]

I got that CD when it came out. He has some serious talent.

[@MRBrien77]

Got to see him twice

[@cmrjc74]

No notes left to bend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@darrinwienmeyer8945]

I recall seeing a fifth estate (?) Piece on him in the mid eighties, right before his album came out. The interviewer pulled a record for his collection of thousands, and he identified it be the serial #. Then he played and I was hooked, bought the album the say it hit the shelves. I also seem to recall that he was self taught

[@MrROTD]

Jeff wrote a little bit of a joke or twist into some of his songs about his blindness this is one of them, I met him briefly once at a place I was a chef he was doing his Jazz thing there , I made him some food, he sounded amazing while I was cooking that evening.
