When A Blind Man Cries - with Jeff Healey

When A Blind Man Cries - Gillan's Inn Tour - Toronto August 17, 2006. Shot at the Phoenix Concert Theatre and includes performance by Jeff Healey.

[@Patrizia266]

I'm crying for Jeff... His life was too short. The world lost one of the best musicians. Rest in peace, Jeff!

[@siroptimistic]

This is so special and touching....blind guitarist Jeff Healy (also suffering from cancer) playing on a song entitled "When A Blind Man Cries". Rest in peace Jeff...no more crying for you.

[@outskirtscustoms]

So many people say Jeff was good for a bling man but I say he was good for ANY man, his music is an inspiration that anything is possible if you keep at it long enough. We all have lost a great voice in music.

[@angeleyesbaybee]

Such a sad day. Jeff was such a great talent, and the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet! Our prayers go out to his family as they grieve. We'll miss you Jeff! The angels must be rejoicing to have you join their band!

[@rickryan2157]

Was lucky enough to see this Master play live a couple times. RIP Jeff

[@metalicheadnz]

Jeff's life ended much too soon. He was a great guitarist.

[@gasar8964]

When a blind man plays the blues , Jeff is sorely missed !

[@jubei2011]

I get goose bumps every time I watch Jeff's guitar solo. Simply amazing.

[@souio]

After Jeff's first solo, when Ian smiles during/while singing as the audience applaude. I don't think I've ever seen a more genuine smile from a rockstar on stage.

[@bristenaa]

I think God is a bluesman. He steal us all the great guitarists! R.I.P. Jeff Healey

[@SPAZZOBOXER]

Jeff's substantial physical presence, talent, generosity, sense of humour & ability to move listeners with his unequivocal, gripping playing made him a true giant of a man. He endured constant roadblocks & challenges throughout his life, achieving more on a material & especially artistic level than 100's of other "Come & Go Celebrities". His soulful partnership with Ian Gillan on this song of personal lifelong inspiration takes on an elevated level of poignancy now, after his premature passing.

[@steven61870]

I think he is a kick ass blues player that makes his guitar talk. R.I.P Jeff you will be missed by alot of people

[@jldimock]

The way this man plays his guitar...it reaches the very inner part of your soul....LONG LIVE JEFF HEALY!!!!!

[@rgbrin]

Jeff and Stevie are showin' em' how it's done up above.....keep playin' those blues...we miss you both!!!

[@flywithseaguls]

there's no more reason for him to cry - but his guitar cries on for ever, here and everywhere else

[@bckm54]

I don't know about the blind man, but Jeff's guitar could sure make ME cry. MAN...what can you say about talent like his?

[@gasar8964]

When a blind man cries featuring the late great Jeff Healey on the guitar , just moving !

[@atcycle]

Jeff Healey was wonderful and Rithie would be proud of his biggest ball drop ever... this song!

[@berthafiz]

jeff healey is the amazing guitars player ever born on earth. his guitars solo really special

[@bhobo09]

Everyone recognizes awesome talent like Jeff Healy from SRV to Deep Purple, Eric Clapton ..He was great! One of the blues giants so good!

[@JonnySublime]

This is one the most beautiful and moving pieces of rock history ever recorded. Masters all, just jammin'.

[@mcgyverracing]

Jeff Healey passed away on Rory Gallaghers birthday. R.I.P. Jeff and Rory, I hope the jams never end in heaven.

[@orestbuciora4174]

THE GREAT JEFF H. LIVED HIS LIVE WITH HIS GUITAR TO THE FULLEST!!!, BIG RESPECT MR. HEALEY, R.I.P. OUR FRIEND!

[@SuperBuzz71]

Used to go Healy's when I came to town to wrench at the Molson GP. Got to meet Jeff a few times. He would remember me ask how we doing for the race. What great guy he was to his fans. I asked once what that red pickup was in his house guitar. Did realise 'till I got back to the hotel I asked a blind guy about the "red" pickup. What a great player and man. I was lucky to get in a deep discusion about playing and tone with him once. Such a great performance this is. I'll Always miss him

[@99546144]

[@monza7800]

One of the best guitarists, just ask Neil or Eric.

[@bluedaddy23]

what a soulful voice Ian Gillian has and Jeff Healy well I miss him RIP Jeff, I usually close our blues set with this song and dedicate it to Jeff Healy

[@DarkVelizar]

This is one of a very touching sad, slow blues song, but the best solo was played by Steve Morse in the Olympia '96. If anyone have headrd it, they know what i'm talking about. And when i see jeff healey plaing this song i felt so emotional!!! R.I.P.

[@shredtheibanez]

I loved Jeff Healey, Hell to Pay was the first CD I ever bought and I still have it.

[@flywithseaguls]

You bought "See the Light" and so did I. He played the guitar in an unusual way. But it sounded great! And it's that sound that makes him immortal!

[@YogaArmy]

[@gringojames]

Jeff realmente faz falta... não conhecia esta versão e estou de cara... essa musica do Purple é muito foda e sem duvida com o Jeff ficou ainda mais perfeita.... muito bom...

[@Sandolainen]

"I had a friend once, in a room. We had a good time, but it ended much too soon" That line is kinda sad when you know that Healey didn't have much time left at that point :(

[@SOMAN1983V]

I like this beautiful song . Bardzo lubię te kompozycję .

[@daveeymann]

Jeff was something special. Is the a documentary on him? If not ;there should be. Great Canadian.

[@lyndafrancis1993]

There is. Healey's Hideaway produced by Eve Kinizo. Should be able to find it on Amazon.

[@gwonya]

Sadly Jeff passed on this evening in Toronto. Thank you for the music Jeff, I'm sure your spirit will live forever.
