A Canadian treasure! This guy was iconic, and lost far too soon. Check out some of his duos with STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN. Amazing stuff!

[@RobertMJohnson]

Healey should be in the discussion of the greatest rock/blues guitarists of all time. Dude was an absolute MONSTER on musicality. who else hit notes like he did?

[@peterbridges5781]

jeff is great, he even pops up in the Patrick Swayze movie Roadhouse. And yes that is Doctor John.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Honestly, the only interest I had in Road House was the fact that Jeff had a cameo. :)

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Dr. John , he was the man!

[@dandamuk]

I thought you'd be taller!

[@brettkenschaft4239]

"Roadhouse!" 💪 If you imagine that in Peter Griffin's voice it will be funny 🤣

[@keithkinder309]

The Double Deuce…

[@djl9919]

RIP Jeff Healey. He's from Canada and he is missed. Jeff has plenty of great songs.

[@barrycohen311]

Yes, he is self taught. His parents bought him a guitar when he was a kid. Being blind, he just put it on his lap and started teaching himself. Crazy talent.

[@barrycohen311]

@@Burned_Man No worries bro. Thanks for the input.

[@wolff3384]

Well, he actually started playing on his lap because his guitar was too big to hold normally

[@andrewjamieson3382]

I can tell you this. When he was elementary school my step father was teaching Jeff to read brail, my step father brought his guitar in to sing for the kids and Jeff fell in love with the guitar, my step father also showed him basic chords and Jeff went onto more.

[@wauzers]

There is a jam sessiion between Healy and SRV. Its awesome.

[@wauzers]

Its to painful for him to play guitar normally, thats why he plays it on lap.

[@TheBlindGuitarSlinger]

I am totally blind, and teach guitar lessons, and I have to say, he is one of my inspiration. Y’all should have definitely heard angel eyes first, but anyway. I wasn’t born blind, I was shot in a drive-by when I was 19, but I’m still blind, and play guitar like this dude. He is a bad ass

[@BB-fr4ic]

Why is a blind man watching reaction videos haha

[@TheBlindGuitarSlinger]

@@BB-fr4ic hilarious

[@BB-fr4ic]

@Bilbo Bass i mean during the song u dont really hear them and afterwards, well its not like these 2 have anything interesting to say about it tbh. But it was just a joke haha, think he would rather want me to treat him as an equal instead of showing pitty. Nonetheless great that he can play guitar as a blind man sir. My favorite blind guitarist: Doc Watson. LEGEND

[@joelhammond4162]

Inspiring.

[@TheBlindGuitarSlinger]

@@BB-fr4ic dot Watson is a beast. JS

[@dustinsmith9528]

As a guitarist myself, we typically mainly use four fingers on the fret board with the occasional thumb over the top on the low E (the fat string at the top) for certain chords. This dudes thumb game is ridiculous. How jealous do you think a piano player would be watching a six fingered man play piano in front of him. That’s how I feel watching this guy, it’s almost unfair. Legend.

[@robertoruiz9049]

You Need to see Jeff and Stevie Ray Vaughn together performing Look at Little Sister!!!

[@ZacCostilla]

Dude was playing ON FIRE! There’s a song where Stevie Ray Vaughan was playing alongside Jeff Healey, and even SRV had to step back in amazement. That’s quite an accomplishment. (edited for spelling)

[@tommack9395]

Look At Little Sister was the song...

[@lavajava2094]

Y’all should check out Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s performance together. They performed Look At Little Sister, they absolutely killed it.

[@willasacco9898]

For sure- Two of the greatest at their craft together.

[@steverichard1740]

Totally agree, at one point while Jeff Healey is soloing, Stevie has this "holy shit" look on his face, a reaction I don't think anyone else ever gave him.

[@Burned_Man]

@@steverichard1740 SRV has said he was lucky to have Jeff as a friend and he loved playing with him. Jeff had basically said the same about SRV

[@MickLoud999]

@@Burned_Man When Stevie "discovered" Jeff in Toronto I was supposed to see both of them. Stevie at the El Mocambo and Jeff at the Brunswick House. I got stupid ill and couldn't attend either show. I saw Jeff play half a dozen times though. Most at tiny bars like The Upper Lip back in the mid 80s.

[@KenNPotter]

Sadly, Jeff passed away in 2008. He was a music legend.

[@SirManfly]

Ya it’s really sad he had to go so young! 😔

[@hidilydidily8963]

Brad's face at the end is epic!!! He's contemplating every decision he's ever made after watching someone blind completely own the guitar. He's got that I've done nothing with my life look on his face😂. It's ok Brad we all feel that way after watching Jeff play lol

[@CaptainTedStryker]

Jeff does a great cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, haven't seen it mentioned yet but it's more FIRE🔥

[@kellybarthel8060]

It is the best version of that song by anyone IMHO!

[@largemouthhunter5014]

Nobody should ever say " I Cant " - What an inspiration ❤🎶🎤 R.I.P. Jeff

[@timothygustafson3944]

Jeff Healey "As The Years Go Passing By" live is amazing

[@oh3eleven748]

Jeff Healey "As The Years Go Passing By" is another amazing preformance. I love y'all's reactions!

[@ericebeling3255]

Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums. All three brilliant musicians to add to Jeff Healey's fire.

[@SirManfly]

I guess Dr. John was in the right place at the right time, hey? 😝😂

[@thomasburt8995]

I was thinking the same thing while watching it. Perfect fit for him on this song

[@derekgiesbrecht1554]

Omar Hakim, i've heard that name, he must be a most requested drummer, i've seen it somewhere, but where?

[@ericebeling3255]

@@derekgiesbrecht1554 He just played a number of songs with Dave Grohl as part of the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert over the weekend. He has played with a wide range of acts over the years.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

@@derekgiesbrecht1554 I know your post is old , but Omar was the drummer for the Sting Concert Film / Rockumentary "Bring on the Night" . The band Sting put together for that project are all insanely talented .

[@playbassken]

I’m so glad you watched Jeff Healey because this man was phenomenal! You will cry if you listen to his song ‘Angel Eyes’.

[@mikmaqwoman]

So sad he is gone now. R I P Jeff. He was a totally higher level...As a fellow Canadian I am so sad he is gone...He was extremely popoular here in Canada. Thanx for this guys. Love yous

[@RockDocNeal]

I haven't seen this video in a couple years and I forgot how absolutely phenomenal his performance was! It really is one of the best blues-rock guitar solos I've ever seen.

[@OLEGNAMIJ]

He brings tears to my eyes watching him play. Soo much soul.

[@rleigh1223]

It's nice to see you don't have Lex beside you just for her beauty but her intelligence, knowing Jeff was blind and recognizing another music legend Dr. John.

[@Plan9-3127]

Such a wonderful moment in music history... Thank you both for giving Jeff his due..

[@ericbetts4359]

Jeff Healey’s song “Angel Eyes” is his absolute best song. Hands down… It’s a long forgotten treasure of a song.

[@anthonyboyko3686]

There are no words for this talent except unequaled

[@armadillotoe]

He was an amazing talent. He also appeared in the movie "Road House."

[@michaelrocker9000]

What a treasure he was. RIP Jeff Healey. RIP Dr John as well. Lex he was one with his guitar.

[@stevewalsh4850]

You guys are the two most analytical people I have ever had the pleasure of being introduced to, analytical in your own unique ways, You guys are so right for each other, I love it 😎✌️

[@ritchmoore1442]

A Canadian treasure.😎 My favorite is still "As the Years go Passing by" live at the Stuttgart Jazz Festival, but he also kicks it with SRV - Look at Little Sister

[@joebalusikiii5811]

Glad you two checked out a live performance.

[@truslyd]

Words really can't describe this guy...

[@christian7951]

Yes some people can learn play by just hearing the notes 👌 this performances are so inspiring and make you never give up 🔥🤘🔥

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

How I learn

[@Burned_Man]

Yeah, he learned basic things and was told to hold guitar conventional fashion He preferred his method and soon explained the class was progressing too slowly. He played his own way after. Crazy talent

[@river4837]

He's in a purest of form, he's never seen anybody perform with his eyes. His joy is from his heart and soul.

[@Farsider3955]

🤔……😳…..what did we just see?! Total awesomeness ❤

[@juliapernicka2698]

He was an amazing talent.

[@micht6888]

He was an amazing jazz guy also. Played a mean horn. He had a great radio show on Jazzfm Toronto. They play reruns of it now and again. Seen him so many times before he got big. He was as humble and wholesome as he looks. Gave so much to the music community and and more.

[@xanbex8324]

The lady is right on with 'seeing a Spirit perform a piece of music ". Unworldly. "The wall of self criticism wasn't there!" Spot on!

[@josephgallagher945]

My mind is freaking blown. This performance is in my top 3 ever. Healey is right up there with the goats of All TIME.

[@truckerenoch8824]

He was in Road House with Patrick Swayze. He played the "House guitarist" at the bar.

[@CarlVandenberg]

That band behind him were/are legends in their own right and were regulars on that show. Dr. John on piano, Marcus Miller on bass and Omar Hakim on drums. Going from memory Jeff started playing when he was 3 and was self-taught. When he went to a boarding school for the blind they tried to get him to play the guitar "normally" but he was uncomfortable doing so and stuck with the method of playing it on his lap.

[@kevindean1327]

That is one of the greatest performances I've ever witnessed. "The name's Dalton" Rip Jeff, Patrick, Ben, and Red from Roadhouse.

[@rick5908]

I'm glad you finally got to Jeff Healey. He was a real talent and you can't go wrong with anything he's done.

[@Petestanton]

Dr John, Marcus Miller , Hakim, Jeff Healey you just appreciated true greatness RIP Jeff

[@deanroddey2881]

Not a bad little pickup band there.

[@suneelupadhye6766]

A powerhouse band with Jeff, Marcus Miller on bass, Omar Hakim on drums and Dr. John on keys...and Jeff transcends!! One of Canada's greatest treasures, tragically cut short 🤩

[@MulberryBuccaneer]

I can still remember seeing this the first time it was played on MTV. I was mesmerized and blown away by what I saw. Never heard of him till that moment. Never forgot him after that. Still have the cassette I bought immediately after seeing this. Rest In Peace Jeff! March 25, 1966 - March 2, 2008 (age-41)

[@Pokafalva]

I had the privilege of seeing Jeff Healey in concert. THE most incredible concert I have seen in my life! I looked around during the first numer, and everyone in the audience had that look of 'I don't believe what I am seeing and hearing here!' Absolutely phenomenal! Tragic that he died at such an early age...

[@haps4273]

A true Canadian legend. I remember seeing him for the first time in my early teens on T.V. and hearing the song "Angel Eyes" on the radio. Sometimes I think he doesn't get the recognition that he deserves.

[@smith041958]

Definitely in the discussion as one of the best guitarists, if not in fact the GOAT. Blind at the age of one, but his disability was not a deterrence.

[@barte3822]

Great reaction !!! I had the honor of seeing Jeff play live a few times at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto in the mid eighties. Unreal, down to earth person. So many great songs but "As the Years go Passing By" is one of my favorites ❤

[@razorgee2873]

I remember seeing Jeff many times when he was playing the bar scene in Toronto. It was mesmerizing sitting only a short distance away from the stage. Having a few wobbly pops and watching the rise of pure genius was an incredible night out.

[@stevewalsh4850]

The look of stunned disbelief that we all shared when we first experienced Jeff, and every time after 😎

[@mrnobody9104]

that most certainly was the good Dr. on the piano both he and Jeff were musical treasures i've had the pleasure of their grooves tinkling in my ears for sooooooo many yrs. RIP Brothers

[@brotherlittlefoot2216]

That shit was out of this world,period.Even Jimi Hendrix would have been wildy impressed w that performance,and Mr Healey as well.Bet they are jamming every night in the Light together now.

One of my favorites. And being blind makes Jeff even more Amazing!

RIP Jeff. Another awesome 🇨🇦 talent

[@kylewilliams6184]

One of the best ever!! Jeff Healey was a phenomenal guitar player. He played upside, on his lap and was unable to see!! Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey have a clip together and even SRV couldn’t believe this guy’s playing. Two of the best ever!! RIP SRV and Jeff Healey...

[@annaoswald5943]

This performance by Jeff & the band is as great and passionate that I've seen on You Tube. One of my other favorites is Grand Funk Railroad's "Inside Looking Out" Live 1969. Music coming from the soul played with true passion.

[@scottbaldwin7133]

one of the best

[@janehill9764]

jeff, a canadian, was also a top class trumpet player who hosted a weekly jazz radio show, he played jazz trumpet and released albums of his jazz playing as well. i had the honor of driving him mhome from a blues guitar set in toronto in 1984.

[@thomaswhite7783]

Jeff Healy started learning the guitar when he was 3yrs old after having lost his sight as an infant. He was too small to hold a guitar proper so he learned playing it on his lap.

[@tommack9395]

Yes Jeff Healey was one of a kind... among blues and jazz circles among the best. rip.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

He was hugely talented. What spirit. A master musician. Try playing his stuff as a sighted player, extremely tough to even get near what he could do. Wow.

[@mozilla2576]

Jeff Healey freakin kills it!

[@tomfabozzi6309]

Was lucky enough to see him back in the day. He was an astonishing guitarist, and had a wonderful, positive energy. The gig was very upbeat, and he had a great connection with the crowd. He was also really funny, with his song introductions and stories in between songs

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

Saw Jeff in a beer tent in 85 in Toronto his hometown,killer gig.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

The way he's using his left hand is so strange but DAMN that guy could play!!

Jeff and SRV were friends. They Play "Look at little sister" together. What an amazing video. Two of the greatest together. It speaks to the soul. Well worth a watch. Love your reactions. Rock on!

The look on Brad's face through the last half of that video was PRICELESS. LOL "HE MURDERED THAT GUITAR...." LOL

[@segwayantwerpen9349]

he was one of the best guitar players EVER, with a complete new style of playing! I was so lucky to see him live in Belgium, in a small venue (only 1000 people), and that was pure magic! And he was so funy in his interactions with the public! Half way the concert somebody in de crowd shouted: Ritchie Blackmore! And he said: Ritchie Blackmore??? I'm not Ritchie Blackmore, are you BLIND??? lol, that was soooooo funy, great guy, RIP Jeff Healey!

[@EddieEnglander]

Spent a night with Jeff. Playing Jazz at Cameron House in Toronto.

[@EddieEnglander]

He was on trumpet.

[@blgeiger71]

Agreed 💯! Those who truly master their craft fully embody the instrument and allow it to become a natural extension of their physical self.

[@martinsmusic1724]

Had the great good fortune to see him several times at his club in Toronto. Gone way too soon!

[@MickLoud999]

I used to see Jeff play in dives on Yonge St in the early 80's First place was at the Upper Lip when a few friends of mine were playing an open mic and Jeff played as well. Our jaws hit the floor! He would take transit to Yonge Street and look for clubs to play on open mic nights. He actually lost his eyes to retinoblastoma around the age of 1. We saw him play like 7-8 times in the 80s in clubs alone. Jeff was truly one of the most unique, talented musicians on earth!! I'm not sure about this but I heard he was kicked out of Humber College music school because he couldn't/refused to play the guitar in the conventional manner.

[@warwickofnorwich]

Saw him live in the early 90s and he was amazing. Totally mesmerising.

This guy is in the movie Roadhouse. Jeff Healey is in the band that plays at the bar. And Patrick Swayze is the bouncer. And they are long time friends in the movie. Ifs not a bad movie. Its worth watching at least once.

[@Mar69Mars]

Jeff Healey’s a legend here in Toronto! I went to see him play at the, then, Skydome, in Toronto in 89’ when I was about 20! It was actually a Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck concert but they invited Jeff Healey to join them to do a set! After they finished their individual sets, the 3 of them jammed it out together! Was the most epic guitar legend show!! 🔥I still have my ticket stub. Was truly devastating when only 5 or 6 months after that show when Stevie Ray Vaughan died tragically in a helicopter crash. RIP to both of them. Even the person I went to that concert with lost his young life a couple years later. Needless to say, that show still burns brightly in my memory 34 years later. RIP Stevie. RIP Jeff. ✌🏼 RIP Tommy.

[@TrueDuckFan]

Absolutely nuts how he can play that guitar like that laying flat!!!

[@danlalonde2751]

He owned a club in Toronto { Canada } called HEALY"S . I ve been there a couple of Times On night s that he played. He had a great sense of humour . He had the walls inside painted black [ hah !hah. !He had some great talents performing there also .He sure could rock the house.
