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.

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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@eharmicar]

Jeff Healey left us much to soon.Cancer took his eyesight and he developed his own style of playing.Cancer later took his life.It’s a crime he never got his due.Man was a music lover and got to do what he loved.R.I.P.Jeff Healey.Gone but not forgotten.

A Gift, He was a wonder. Saw him 4 times Live, plus having an autograph, from the beginning all Heroes were stunned of his talent. Who dares so innocent and "handicaped???" to compete to Jimi Hendrix. After the Regensburg Concert, I spent the night with the drummer Tom Stephen, unforgettable. One of our best guitarists ever.

[@anthonycastrovinci6700]

He had some serious soul to him! Blind or not he is undeniably one of the most talented singers song writers and musicians!

Mr Healey. So talented and yet so humble. I was not aware of this version. Thanks for sharing!!

[@keithreeves7463]

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 :-)

Better than Jimi 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!!!

[@ianhawdon3680]

Fkn great point my friend

[@alanhill16]

One of the best guitarists ever

[@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.

[@The-Contractor]

A brilliant and terribly underappreciated guitarist. RIP, Jeff and thanks for all the music.
