Jeff Healey Band (Live at Notodden Blues Festival, august 2006): How blue can you get

Concert recorded by NRK.

[@DH-xm3hc]

Still here 2023 🎉 Jeff Healey will always be rembered and loved 😢❤ Rest in Peace

[@johnfair62]

This guy was amazing. His phrasing, his leads, his timing, his singing, few can match this. Just the top dogs,...SRV, Albert King, BB king, Freddie King..Jeff was right up there. Being blind and playing in his lap, he never missed a lick. I love him.

[@zaliesaunders374]

So do I, just amazing.

[@lugentaubner6853]

100%

[@guymajor7103]

I don’t know if anyone can match the speed of his licks! They’re legendary!

[@ckmoore101]

All true. Then add on a very, very good singing voice. Why is it the blues greats were all great singers? Curious thing to think about. Many legendary guitarists were not singers.... but pretty much all the blues ones, were. Food for thought.

[@jankarelandredelaporte1009]

Peter Green .... Alvin Lee T Y A ....

[@markwilliams8532]

Took you out for a ten course dinner and you said "Thanx for the snack"

[@91Kingscrib84]

His technique & vocals were unsurpassed. It was a sad day for Blues and Jazz when recurrent cancer claimed Jeff Healey, March 2008. ~Greatly appreciated and sadly missed.

[@mikewoodrow5878]

@Kingscrib. Digging’ your Neon Park Feats avatar! Saw them twice, met the band backstage once (unfortunately, after Lowell’s time, but they still banged ‘em out, with Fuller and Tackett aboard). Peace from Toronto!

[@Poage57]

The Blues with feeling and heart. What kind of moron would give this a thumbs down. Wish JH was still with us, but thankful we still have these videos and his music to remember him by. What a talent.

[@thereforeayam]

Poage57...only four thumbs down out of 94K views...is ...a cow. It's friendlier than you believe. Cows love music.

[@joefriedman9843]

@@thereforeayam You are right this thumbs up to down ratio is still absurdly good considering there's always idiots down voting great videos.

[@daveylee4677]

I bet Stevie Wonder gave it a 🤙🏾. The two have something in common 💙

[@michaelcampise5617]

REST IN PEACE JEFF. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES. YOU LIVE ON BROTHER IN OUR HEARTS

[@scottdematteo]

Jeff has got to be one of the most amazing musicians on the planet. BRAVO! RIP.

[@nikkichockawonga]

I've tried, but I honestly can't find the words that sufficiently convey just how much I appreciate and love Jeff Healey.

[@jaymac572002]

JEFF HEALEY is One of a Kind !!! Dave Murphy Ain’t No Joke on them Keys either !!!

[@jaychoma8172]

Dave Murphy blows me away during all the recordings of this songs … so good ✅

[@grahmnash1]

That lick at 1:14 is about the tastiest piece of blues I've ever heard. For being a contemporary of SRV, he never got the same credit, but to my ears he was technically better, played just as expressively, and was capable of more stylistically than Stevie. SRV was great, no question, I just never knew why Jeff was overshadowed.

[@Leo-uc8zv]

You’re right he slaughter Stevie on little sister overall he’s better.

[@bonedaddy6583]

So right. He could hold his own with anyone, and smoke plenty of them.

[@cajunqueen5125]

"...I just never knew why Jeff was overshadowed." Cdn vs Amer. (Plus keep in mind, SRV was of course pretty darn awesome)

[@nickmetaxas3859]

Perfection, that intro made me want to weep. What a talent. Although I thought he’d be taller ....... 😀

[@franktheco]

Jeff amazing without saying. That piano player tho.

[@That70sGuitarist]

I had the privilege of seeing Jeff Healey live twice, and after the first time, I couldn't even look at my guitar for a week afterwards, that's how blown away I was! By the second time I saw him, I had become much more confident in my abilities as a guitarist, but I was still absolutely floored by what he could do. One of the most soulful players out there, and his loss was a very bad day for the blues, a very bad day indeed. And for all the doubters, Jeff had no vision whatsoever. In fact, he had no eyes; he lost his eyes to a rare form of cancer when he was a toddler, and that same cancer later came back and took his life. The only "eyes" Jeff had were made of glass.

[@TheRealMrbuffcat]

Wow I didn't realize the extent of his blindness

[@That70sGuitarist]

@@TheRealMrbuffcat Not many did, Phil. He always seemed to know exactly where his chair was, and it took me quite a while to figure out exactly how he did it. He had his monitors set up facing his chair from opposite sides, so that when he could hear both monitors equally, he knew it was safe to sit back down. Jeff was a master showman, no two ways about it.

[@grubnetseor]

He was really something else. The licks he plays are so intense, uniquely his and full of emotion. A true loss.

[@MarvinsSignalBox]

What beautiful chords are these i want to give him a tribute. God bless him

[@janvengsgaard1355]

The most outstanding guitarplayer. He had it all, he lives forever

[@mrchrispychicken]

This man was so amazing. This feeling, ideas and unbelieve playing. Thank god, saw him at two times with the great Sideman Philip Sayce.

[@coolbluvudu5470]

Heaven got a whole lot cooler and a lot more blue when ol’ Healey showed up. RIP Jeff. U r loved

[@ishurmer]

Just an incredible talent. So sad for anyone to die so young.

[@sergeybogdanovich7019]

Legend guitarist ❤️🙏🎼🎵🎶🎸✌️🇮🇱👌🍀

[@tokotong2455]

There's a reason you can't find many 'how to play like Jeff Healey' tutorial videos.His licks are like no other.People just don't seem to be able to replicate it ,even though,unlike Jeff,they were able to see what he was playing.

[@rockdlyavseh]

I wonder what are the 9 creatures that didn't like Jeff? Deficient rappers?

[@erichoaglund]

fucking sick

[@adrianonimus3196]

What an incredible guitar player it was...unbelievable how he could play like this.....amazing and fantastic, R.I.P. Jeff!

[@susanreed2802]

[@stevepoo1762]

Amazing!!! Jeff, you make me feel.....

[@Pollutens]

I picture my life as if Jeff Healey was alive, im happier that way, thinking he is still playing gigs around and being THE BEST :DD Love you Jeff, your feeling in your music is way beyond everyone elses.

[@billoy1979]

my man is high!! This music is awesome.

[@normanscenic]

Such a great guitar player the best so sad when he passed

[@jija128]

First time i nitice Jeff was in the Roadhouse movie, at first i thougy it have to be some funny movietrik, a bliind man playing guitar. Shortly after i found music in my local musicshop and after i told everyone: he is the gratest guitarplayer ever. Pure and simply awersome.

[@bluemoyie8618]

Funny, it was the movie Roadhouse that introduced me to Jeff Healey's virtuosity.

[@bofe111]

What amazing musician he was!!! Rip

[@Nesmith98]

LOL Jeff is wearing a watch! Great song by a great artist. RIP

[@bluemoyie8618]

A wonderful old man taught me how to play pool. When he started to lose his sight, his lovely daughter bought him a watch from CNIB that quite literally "told" him the time. All he had to do was to press the crown button.

[@bhobo09]

Jeff Healey was just awesome Period!

[@MrDroixhe]

Hey, I'm the n° 1000 who liked you and admred you so much! Proud of it! Elmore D. You're deep in my heart.
