This guy was a self-made guitar master. He was amazing. Lost his eyes at the age on one due to eye cancer, then he lost his life due to cancer in his legs(!), sadly enough. Crappy start and finish- FANTASTIC 41 year journey between. Thank you, Jeff, for all u gave us.

[@edanielgreen]

Mid/late '80s, Victoria BC, a Thursday night: Me and some of the boys headed out to a local meat market / pick up bar that usually had a DJ. (🤭 Hey, I was young, well, late 20s, and horny! 😂). When we arrived, we were perplexed to discover there was a lineup, with posters advertising a live performer that week, with praises by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B. King. So, what the hell, we waited in line. Once we got in we sat at a table right by the dance floor, about 15 feet from a two foot raised stage. After ordering our beer, the band came out, obviously guiding a blind guy. My buddies and I kind of looked at each other quizzically. They sat him down in a chair onstage, he put the guitar on his lap, and when he started to play my world changed. It was Jeff Healey, before his first album came out: I had never heard of him, but he had my attention now. He played the cleanest, most amazing, unbelievable guitar licks I'd ever heard. He played blues, he played rock, he played Hendrix better than Hendrix, he played with his teeth, he played while literally jumping around blind like a mad man. He seemed to be having a religious experience. Despite it being a dance club, nobody danced that night. Everybody stood around, hypnotized, with their mouths agape, staring, hardly believing what we were seeing and hearing. I went back Friday and Saturday, and again every night the following week as he was doing a two week gig there. His first album came out shortly thereafter, and I sadly never got to see him again. But I still feel blessed.

Jeff was also a radio personality here in Canada. He had a massive jazz collection. and an encyclopedic knowledge of music. Sorely missed, gone too soon.

[@bocephus1911]

Lucky to actually meet him a couple times so kind , and so smart was very impressed by his presence

[@ricoabby]

The guy on piano there is New Orleans singer/pianist legend Dr John. Would be well worth checking out his music.

[@micko11154]

The NightTripper!

[@mikeyg3202]

marcus miller on bass and david sanborn holding the sax intros him

[@PaulScherdell]

Dr John played with so many great artists.

[@chrystlearkan1968]

I think you would enjoy Jeff Healy and Stevie Ray Vaughn playing Look at Little Sister.

[@CharCanuck14]

Now your REALLY need to see that video Chod! Btw....Jeff had retinoblastoma, same thing my granddaughter had....horrible disease that's usually diagnosed at a very young age. Think Jeff was 1. My granddaughter was not quite 2.

[@rondogg50]

Siri Rayvon didn't ever play with him but he and Saint are deemed worthy of the guitar playing that he was famous for but Jeff Healey I don't need to say anymore !!!! ✊💞

[@chrystlearkan1968]

@@rondogg50 Oh dear! And I just watched it again!

[@earlroberts4968]

Chad, I'm guessing is how you spell it. If you have any younger people who can appreciate music of any genre, Jeff Healey would be a worthy addition to their musical library

[@itzel1735]

@@rondogg50 There was a recording for Canadian tv of SRV and Jeff Healy playing “Look at Little Sister”. It’s on YT.

[@christianhoneyman6779]

He was an incredible Guitar player. Then he put out Jazzy music and played the trumpet. Such an Amazing Canadian Music Icon. RIP

[@TheDivayenta]

A musical genius!

[@thirty2wins]

DR JOHN....the night tripper!! ...I was in the right place...musta been the wrong time!!

[@colincampbell5967]

He was in the movie "Road House" check it out, great film

[@stevemercer6976]

Saw Jeff many times when he was doing the college circuit. What a rare talent and a genuinely nice guy. RIP

[@cspringer333]

He was excellent at Tipitina's

[@Gantzz321]

same here, so many times at the student union. Got to meet him a couple times because I always knew everyone that worked the events.

[@kentinatl]

I LOVE THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE BASS PLAYER AND HEALEY,HE WHISPERS "I AM RIGHT BEHIND YOUR BACK" HEALEY,WOW!!!

[@bryanglassglass8971]

Love and caring, that's what friendship is all about

[@ramondwilliam1307]

When you are talking about the all time greats Jeff is right up there at the top, and being blind makes it even more incredible.

[@gerathb4961]

as a teen in the '80s i got to see Clapton and shortly after Stevie Ray Vaughan (co-headlineing with Jeff Beck), sadly missed out on seeing Healey live, but i sure wore the hell out of his debut album cassette. Not many people think of the 80's as a "Bluesy" decade , but some of us Saw the Light

[@davidhattman7649]

I saw Jeff open up for Little Feat in 1989. He was incredible!!!!

[@jimmcevers9443]

Gone too soon! One can only wonder what he might have accomplished! Angle Eyes should be you next Jeff Healy listen... even if you don't react!

[@ronkrupovich7152]

Saw him play up close twice--that's how luck I was! He was on another planet in singing and guitar-playing ability.

[@jimcvca]

A great ballad from Jeff Healy is "Angel Eyes". Perfect to play for your significant other.

[@jamiegoddard562]

Total legend jeff and the jeff healey band never got the recognition they deserved they were awesome

[@maluorno]

he did a cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps that was pretty sweet.

[@itzel1735]

With Jeff Lynn and George Harrison on the recording if I recall correctly.

[@traceyraffle6675]

A truly amazing talent :) You would love SRV and Jeff together playing Look at Little Sister :)

[@MatthewBousumonline]

God said..."oh shit you're blind... damn...my bad. Here let me make that up to you!"

[@FrankCastlesConscience]

Question: How much talent did Jeff Healey have? Answer: You can’t count that high.

[@earlroberts4968]

If you have friends who enjoy music like you do, turn them on to Jeff Healey, neither you nor they will ever be disappointed. Also you should check out the look at little sister video it's awesome. At one point you see Stevie's jaw drop because of Jeff's playing. Stevie even said, " man he is going to revolutionize the way the guitar can be played" . But then life happened and it seems sad , that Jeff has faded into obscurity. Be cause no one even tried duplicating the how, why, and the heart of what made him great

[@bobconklin7159]

“As the Years Go Passing By”. Masterfully played blues.

[@nelgstuart3442]

It was so sad already that Jeff was blind, but to die also. That's as sad as it gets. He was lightening in a bottle. Truly, truly one of the greats. Nobody could play like Jeff Healey.

[@phoenixmichaels]

they have been on the same stage. Jeff buried SRV. Straight up.

[@jamesdinnan4726]

"help me doctor" and it's Dr. John! that's awesome

[@paulmcintyre141]

Jeff also was a huge jazz lover, and had amassed around 30,000 78-rpm Jazz LPs by his untimely death. R.I.P.

[@princeyehuwdahdanielyisrael11]

GrandMaster Rock Blues Guitarist. Jeff Healey 🎸🎵🎶🎼 R.I.P Man.

[@davespears2241]

I'll always say it we are watching joy when you see Jeff, wonderful.

[@freegracetruthembrace7188]

All Star lineup ...all timers . Plenty of shredding to go around . More than blessed .

[@Brian-tb1zs]

Chod, Now you’re bring us new music 👍 I’ve listened to a lot over the years, but somehow missed this man, True Talent, personal strength, courage, etc. ! ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ what an example he sets. Thanks !

[@Gantzz321]

so glad you found him, I have commented in so many different reactors to please do a JeffHealey reaction and you are the first, and I didn't even ask for it here.

[@evelynharron4718]

I'm would love to see your reaction to Jeff Healy Band - All Along the Watchtower- Live London '89 - Just freakin' awsome performance.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The brother died way too young (41). RIP genius.

[@madmann5373]

I was lucky enough to see him live in Vancouver at the Commodore ball room. I'm still recovering.,30 years later.🇨🇦😷

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

This is not just the '88 Night Music performance. This begins with that show but then it has a conclusion that is from some other performance stitched onto it. It has all the marks of a fan edit. None of which takes away anything from Jeff's playing, it's just that what you see, from start to finish, never happened.

[@guyberger4169]

Jeff Healey does a BB King song.”How Blue Can you Get!!! I can tell you felt that 😎 Bro . Then if you get a chance , he actually does Jazz Music with the same passion as the Blues. You won’t believe it. Genius. Another one we lost so you ✌️☮️💟

[@jackdorman4894]

🎶 Jeff is absolutely phenomenally gifted 😎thanx for reaction

[@jasoncook4008]

One of the best guitarist of all time & one of the most underrated guitarist of all time too .

[@georgerojek2262]

Whenever the topic of great guitar players is brought up, his name should always be mentioned as one of the greatest !

[@robertrohde4579]

In my top 2 or 3 all-time!

[@PaulScherdell]

He's a jazz horn player. Search Jeff Healey trumpet. Should have said was; RIP

[@xanbex8324]

Your tribute to Jeff is in your eyes...genuine emotion....words are not really necessary....thank you for this...Peace out!

[@williamcochrane6255]

I remember when he was first getting popular and had released his first CD I really liked the CD and at the time I knew a guy here in Montreal who was a lead guitarist and song writer and I asked him if he had ever heard of him so my friend said yes and that he knew him and then asked me if I wanted to go see him since he was playing at a very popular bar here in Montreal. So myself and a date went with my friend and not only did we see him perform 3 times that night but my friend brought us to his table where we were introduced to him and his band and his girl friend and we were invited to sit through the night at his table surrounded by members of a few other bands including Roger Hodson from Supertramp

[@deannacrownover3]

Jeff Healey always had the most in shape bass players in the world! Those guys spotted him and kept him from running into the drum set or falling off the stage. Once he stood up, their work was tenfold!

[@bubgum00]

He was so cute too.

[@hillbillyatheart7686]

I lost one eye falling through a high school gym roof. I wish I had a Quarter of that much talent!!!!!

[@robert-ix9pp]

Hey brother i couldn't agree more, Baddest mother on a guitar Eva ! RIP JH

[@edprzydatek8398]

I just watched this for the first time the same as you were watching it for the first time and I'm just as blown away as you are. Amazing. Great reaction.

[@garryokeefe1605]

You HAVE to see him in the SRV track Wil, he more than holds his own!!! What a much-missed guitarist and musician this is, like SRV, Page, Hendrix, Gallagher, Moore etc, one of a kind, but more so due to his eyesight condition.

[@bluesmike100]

Everyone doing these reations totally have no idea who the piano player is. He's Dr John. Legendary blues pianist outta Loosiana. Giant talent.

[@jamiegoddard562]

Joe rockman jeffs bass player was asked whats its like working with jeff he said its like trying to hold on to a hurricane you just grab and go exactly jeff was a force of nature sadly missed

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

Jeff definitely gives "The Star-Spangled Banner" a run for its money, that's for damn sure!

[@rockinredneck57]

Check out Jeff playing "As The Years Go Passing By" live from Germany. It really is mind blowing.

[@gavinpearcey]

In 2006, I was in a band playing the Diesel Playhouse in Toronto, right next door to Healer's roadhouse at new year's. After loading in, we went next door to get a drink, and the man himself is killing it on trumpet and guitar with his band in the middle of the afternoon. We stayed until he stopped, he was just amazing to watch and listen to.

[@Acoustic_strings]

My favorite Jeff song is Confidence Man

[@keymack2477]

Thanks for doing a reaction of this great, under appreciated Canadian artist. RIP.

[@xJRx77]

Jeff Healy... a rabbit hole you won’t ever wanna come out of. An extra-ordinary talent musically and vocally. When SRV and Clapton show you props, you know he’s badass

[@robtyndall974]

Another talented Canadian.

[@d-rock5235]

Good ol etobicoke boy. love it.

[@jasoncook4008]

You should check out Jeff Healey's songs Angel Eyes & his best songs Lost In Your Eyes .

[@mickallen899]

Glad you let it play through before your review.... it was awesome.

[@timbillings6884]

👍👍WOW WOW and WOW!!! 👍👍 Wow.

[@davidhumiston6500]

That was completely insane Jeff is way above a lot of other guitars rest his soul

[@mickallen899]

Didn't know he had passed away... he wasn't well known here in Australia outside of ''Roadhouse'' the movie. May he rest in peace I still play my cd of see the light quite often.

[@robinbeerman4726]

In for a ride! Rip Jeff. Goat.

[@guysiemers2116]

Dude slapping the bass is bad assed

[@davidbarlow372]

jeff lived just down the street from my wife when he was a kid in west end Toronto

[@paulmorris8762]

and another legend Marcus Miller slapping the bass. Jeff did a live acoustic duet with another phenomenal Canadian guitarist Colin James who also toured with SRV. Colin plays anything including jazz blues big band and raunchy rock

[@gvbezoff]

Check out Jeff Healey live at Montreux. "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Stuck in the Middle With You" are awesome.

[@Thomas-aka-TomD]

Dr. John on piano. Check him out! "Walk on Guilded Splinters", "The Night Tripper", "Right Place, Wrong Time".... Healey was a shining light.....

[@markswisher3709]

Here is two Jeff Healey songs that you might like: Confidence man and a cover of a steelers wheel song called Stuck in the middle with you.

[@davidgale7384]

An incredible talent.... Angel Eyes

[@alhaskell242]

Saw Jeff in a lot of different venues,but the one that sticks out to me was in a village called Elmira it was such an intimate setting you could stroll up to centre stage about 3 feet from Jeff and watch him Jam.

[@timgeary4550]

for God sake PLEASE play Tommy Bolin "PostToastee" studio version. If you like Jeff Healey you'll love Tommy

[@jimd7260]

You should check out Roy Buchanan. Another great, unknown guitarist.

[@lindalongwell8128]

That was fantastic!

[@tiges1972]

I remember his part in Roadhouse 💙 RIP!

[@jamessquair6829]

dude wrecked it.. aint nobody else can play it now

[@Petestanton]

I've seen him live was nearly unbelievable and for me, emotional RIP Master

[@killiansred1000]

Beast mode!

[@4yules]

thats what you call "feelin it"

[@oldguyespo640]

If you want to see Jeff watch the classic "ROADHOUSE" with Patrick Swaizey!!

[@chethunt2455]

Awesome musicians.

[@robertschiavone5159]

This is the first time I saw this video he was amazing

[@bocephus124]

Love his version of angel eyes , lucky enough to see him live what a treat , his band so tight and with him forever,except for Dr John on piano

[@filthymcnasty4u284]

The best guitarist never talked about. He would out play Slash.

[@MrSeanwick1969]

Dont understand the thumbs down. Great song. Authentic and positive reaction. What is not to like? Trolls?

[@robert_bbiii]

He also played trumpet

[@jamuga60]

He ain't fucking out there...............................................he brings the heat.

[@scottchapin2323]

some people said he had an advantage because he use's five fingers. Advantage? the man is blind, There are not too many people who could play in that style with sight. Jeff was great. R.I.P.

[@timgeary4550]

lets play some Jose Feliciano, Ronny Milsap, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder.

[@jamescourtney2318]

Thanks for the reaction. I told you so!

[@mcasualjacques]

ah what's funny about this video is that most people who react to this dont get the long intro, then Sanborn gets embarrassed about being too long and does the mini intro. But people only see the mini intro and after

[@ultslipknot]

Amazing!

[@geedub939]

Really Chod, you've got to give the following a shot..., but first, really appreciate your past comments about live music showing the real talent. Artists actually performing. With that said, please check out "Telegraph Road" in Sevilla 26.07.2015. This is Mark Knopler (Dire Straits founder, lead guitarist and lead singer) playing his 1982 song LIVE ... What is that, 33 years later. It's absolutely incredible.

[@beatnpotatoes]

Check out him and Colin James.....fire!!!!

[@rob1111]

How about Prince. His less commercial hits though, but are classics now and were big jams back in the day. Scandalous, I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Mountains, 17 Days, Electric Intercourse Live '83 version.....just to name a few. You would truly appreciate them being a musician. Thanks and good work!

[@bangmon1000]

Amazing.

[@markswisher3709]

I've never seen someone drink a cup of water while playing the guitar

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Jimi Hendrix, as far as I know, was the first performer to use his teeth in playing the guitar....SRV did it sometimes when playing Hendrix.....

[@mikecappadocia5959]

Holy Christ, he's the best

[@loisalanoa6342]

Also in the movie “Roadhouse “

[@hildapederson8174]
