The Jeff Healey Band - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (live)

[@ednaatluxton4918]

Happy birthday Jeff. Never forgotten by your loyal Ontario fans. March 25

[@sharonrasmussen]

Too short of life for this musician. He dealt with alot but found refuge in music. I'll miss him.

[@lahcenelhanoudi9141]

It's been almost 6 months that I've heard Jeff for the first time and I was really impressed by the pure music he plays, such magic and feelings and tbh since then I started listening to him every single day! He's irreplaceable! R.I.P Jeff! 🕊️

[@robertshepherd3832]

Early 80's . I walked into a bar on King West T-O. I can't remember the name but it had a front bar with the entry on King and a larger back bar with a small stage. There were only 4 of us in the front and it was empty in the back. After about 10 minutes a band started playing from the back and at about the 60 second mark I had to check out the guitarist who was playing. Jeff Healy playing to an empty house ! I never heard of him before but I was captivated, mesmerized and shocked at his technical abilities and his musical prowess. What a talent and what a treasure he really was. Too many took him for granted but he always put a smile on my face. A lot of us miss the man and his music. Bless you Jeff Healy.

[@shawnthompson5496]

Great guitar playing , beautiful voice.

[@joeblough261]

@@glenlee9537 What are you on dude? First off, she meant it as a compliment. Second, it's TRUE! Jeff Healey walks amongst the greatest guitarists (and overall musicians) in the history of the world - blind or not blind - yet how many people around the world really know who he is, compared to other greats? Jeff should be a household name, yet he isn't mentioned nearly as the others, he is consistently left off the "greatest guitarist" lists, and to state that fact is far from an insult, and/or uninformed.

[@robnhood3214]

@@joeblough261 I agree and I was thinking the same when I read his comment. Jeff Healey was most certainly one of the all time greats and never got the recognition he deserved. Eric Clapton who I felt was highly overrated got more recognition than he deserved and imo Clapton was just a mediocre guitarist. He was nothing like Healey. When has viewing someone as being underrated ever considered an insult?

[@angiechapman1897]

Phenomenal guitar playing by maestro Jeff, and what a stunning vocal solo by the backing singers - I wonder what the neighbours thought when they were practicing this style at home. Reminds me of Floyd.

[@tommieberggren3324]

I prefer Jeffs guitarsolo before the wailing singers.

[@jackhaugh]

I’ve played guitar for 2/3rds of my life and what Jeff does is completely unconventional inso far as his playing style. It’s completely unique. No one fingers these chords in the way that he does, and it’s completely obvious that he learned to play this song by ear (what other choice did he have) and that’s not a bad thing. He clearly was a musical genius.

I remember hearing him back in the 80s when he first came out with "Cruel little number", but this is the first time I have heard this cover from him, and it was really MOVING. Rarely are cover songs as good or better than the originals, but he really knocked this one out of the park with ALL the bases loaded. The backup vocals were powerful too. I loved the original, but I am hard pressed to decide which I like better.

[@travish8575]

Jeff’s blows the Beatles out of the water, pretty sure George Harrison would agree too

There are two covers I think kill the originals. This is one. The other is THS SOUND OF SILENCE by Disturbed

@@billcole923 come together by Aerosmith is another better cover.

[@landonrobinson8223]

I think Jeff's ordeal with cancer was getting the best of him at this point, he used to be able to hit higher notes with his voice which is why I think the backup singers were brought in for this session, he even said "Thank you" at one point when they filled in for him. But anyway... here is the studio cut of this song from when his voice worked better, it is a little cleaner of a song also with not as much going on... kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4WQdWprhZ5ge6c

[@Jimmuck315]

I gotta tell you (before I kick the bucket) how I met Jeff when he was just a teenager and eager to 'gig' anywhere he could. I played in a little 'sober band' of recovering members of A.A. & N.A. on a Saturday night at St. Bartholomew's Church on Dundas /Parliament Sts., in Toronto back in 1979/81. We were called "ROMPIN' RONNIE RICH & THE SERENITY THREE" myself Scotty R' Jim St.P. and Danny ? fronted by our illustrious leader Ron R. Jeff's Dad used to bring him in and he'd get up and even then? he'd wow! us with his playing. His buddies back then were still with him at the end and shows the loyalty that they shared. He was a talent that is surely missed by his family and friends. R.I.P. young fella.
