Think about this amazing guy for a minute - blind since before he was a year old, started playing the guitar at three, developed his flat, steel guitar-like, lap style, at which he was superlative, played blues and jazz, composed, sang, owned about 30,000 records (many old jazz and blues 78’s), hosted a national radio show (Canada), played the trumpet and toured the world. HE passed away at the age of 41. I’m in awe of what he accomplished.
Today, in this world of PC shit, well… I’m not blind, but I’m disabled. Imagine the world he grew up in. Back then. And he did not only lived, but flourished. He is not only a talent musician. He was something so much more.
Saw Jeff in Leicester De Montfort, October 1990. All of us were floored, left the concert speechless after a lengthy version of Voodoo Chile in the encore and we remained that way for the whole ride back home. Thank you Jeff for an unforgettable performance
I really think NO ONE . He was absolutely great , something like a cosmic thing ..... You know what i mean ? Every time i see him , on some videos or just listening his music , i feel very sad , but at the same time i feel happy , ' cause i know he' s free , now .
@@Honest_Tunes And Music in the Soul . He put Love and Passion in Everything he did . Unfortunately , i never met him , but i still love his music . This i know , this i feel , this Is FOREVER .
At 7:14 you can see that Jeff never used a guitar strap as he puts down his guitar. But when you see him play it standing up at 5:22 and literally just holding with his left fingers (which are fretting the strings at the same time), it's just amazing to watch him do the impossible!
This was so good I'm at a loss for words. Saying this was awesome doesn't even begin to describe this performance. Thank you Jeff Healey and thank you for sharing this video.👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing....this guy was just absolutely incredible. It is mind blowing to watch him play.
I would have liked to see Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert together! Both are gone now!!!! Too sad!

He really was brilliant.
A LEGEND ;-)
Genius
One of my favorites loooooove the crowd in this one!
Jeff Healey, SRV and Gary Moore were all so good. I think Jeff is underrated in the guitar community maybe.
Check out Joe Bonamassa
He never gets a mention, absolutely criminal
The absolute three best

Sometimes I forget he’s blind because of how good he is

Can express the joy I just experienced watching hide away I've forgotten about Jeff Jeff oh my God I love that man man Reston peace
The grease oozes from his fingers. The greasiest licks ever layed down by anyone.
Rip Legend
He was a monster on the guitar. Especially live when he let's it all hang out.
With a guitar he's a God!!!!!
I always love it when he stands up and goes beast mode.
Absolutely genius musician and strong person! Love and miss him.
it's amazing how he was able to play so beautifully when he was blind. :)
Best version by far.. Saw him many times live in the 80s.. Can't believe his gone.. RESQUIESCAT IN PATE.
The best guitar slinger there ever was. Ever.
Best version of this song ever!
Ogni volta che lo sento mi commuovo veramente
What an amazing musician!! He is playing the guitar upside down while blind. Who is better than that?

At first I thought Mel Taylor of The Ventures is the drummer.
you've done something if you've been to one of his gigs
Got the privilege of seeing him twice
you just have to be honest for that
