The Jeff Healey Band - All Along the Watchtower (from See the Light: Live from London)

[@240zguy]

Hendrix would be impressed with Jeff's version of this classic song.

[@nickjonathan658]

The word genius was invented for Jeff. I’ve playing the blues for 30yrs with full sight and can only aspire to be at this level. I can (just about) play at this level but let’s face it as a person with full sight it’s infinitely less impressive. Jeff was an absolute genius, zero doubt. I bow down.

[@mattaparicio571]

He is a guitar hero in my book.

[@confusedandsleepless]

Mine too!

[@andrewweitzel6567]

Wow... Lost for words...Jeff was amazing, plays better in every way backwards, upside-down, with his teeth and across his lap. Jeff's up there with Jimmy,Stevie,Bonzo,Bon,and so many others taken from us fans way too early. RIP.

[@PukkaracesUk]

Jeff was a seriously underrated guitarist!.. One of the best in my opinion! Legend!

[@hughes2397]

Pukka Races Yes he was. He's always been an inspiration to me, because even though he may not can see, he had to adapt to playing the guitar laid down, and he is better than most guitarists who can see perfectly. Even though he's blind, his hearing takes over, and his sense of hearing is heightened, and you can plainly tell that he FEELS every single note he's playing. He puts every ounce of his energy, heart, and soul into each performance, and that is what makes music. Being able to see, or not isn't what makes music, because it comes from within, and he's hands down a true testament to that. Jeff Healey will forever be an inspiration to me. He's a true "musician" in my book.

[@johnmcminn9455]

Absolutely, Jeff transcended guitar His note choice in any video is amazing!

[@PPoyares]

When you see a unique blind guitarist playing like this with the guitar upside down, standing up live and using with his teeth, playing better than a lot of other non blind guitar players from every decade, sadly being very underated, you see how life can be unffair...

Dylan said he knew he was writing it for Jimi before he finished the second verse. Then he called Jimi up and gave it to him.

FUN FACT: Did you know those baby blues are prosthetics? Jeff had an Ocularist created for him beautiful blue eyes every so many years different sets that he wore throughout his life Can we take a moment to appreciate those artists that create such eyes. ⠠⠇⠑⠛⠑⠝⠙⠎⠀⠝⠑⠧⠑⠗⠀⠙⠊⠑⠲

I was there! This was recorded at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town, London (now The Forum). Jeff's extraordinary version of this song was just one of the highlights of the evening - at the time I remember thinking that Jimi Hendrix would be smiling somewhere :-)

Shits over Clapton and Hendrix..👌

[@brianbarker620]

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!!!

[@siegerland2011]

[@reginaschellhaas1395]

Good Lord, what a performance! One thing I have noticed by watching Jeff's performances, are his hand/arm movements to inform band members of a "change", as he couldn't give them a glance or nod. Here, I see the bassist giving Jeff a "shoulder lean", to help him with spatial awareness. A bit of location assistance here, as he's a whirling dervish, perfectly sensible! I was so grateful, first watching this, it always makes me nervous when I see Jeff leaving his chair, terrified he would get misplaced. Astonished by his ability to find his seat. An earlier performance with SRV, Jeff stands up, cuts loose, finds his chair, no difficulty. Whew! Although it's not ESP (like a mind reading power, etc.), I concluded that this is a normal ability, but developed to an extraordinary level, thus an "extra sensory perception" that most sighted people don't develop, as it's not necessary, we can have a look. What a marvelously talented person he was, in every way. Bless you Jeff, for the joy of your music, still giving to us (at this point) 15 years later.
