It's cool you found Jeff. Here in Canada he is beloved and many Canadians have an emotional hurt that he was taken too soon. Jeff also was a really good trumpet player as well.
If you loved this, you should really check out his performance of 'As The Years Go Passing By' - it is absolutely incredible. Great reaction as always, love seeing how much you guys appreciate new music and awesome to see a beloved Canadian legend pop up on your channel. Peace and love from Canada!
Jeff Healy does a fantastic song with Stevie Ray Vaughn, which you would love. The piano player is the great New Orleans musician Doctor John. Thank you for all the hard work bringing many diverse genres of music to your program. Love your commentary, too.
I love his remake of the Beatles while my guitar 🎸 gently weeps is probably one of the best remake's ever done by anyone, you can feel the soul of his voice and guitar come together as one.👍❤️🎸
Jeff was an amazing guitar player. He was one of the best blues/rock guitar players. It’s a shame that he’s no longer with us but thankfully he left us a library of truly incredible music. I have watched many reactors over the years, but I have to say you two are the most fun to watch. You can see the pure joy on your faces when you’re discovering new music. I was fortunate enough to be born in the 60s and grow up through the 70s and 80s with some truly incredible music. And nothing gives me greater pleasure to see younger people like yourself making sure that the great music lives on. Bravo on another great reaction.👏👏👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I saw Jeff during his first tour across Canada. Friday night, it was $5 a head. Saturday night it was $3 a head. That was at Harpo's in Victoria, BC. Every guitarist in the city was front and center engrossed.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff on his first American tour the summer before my senior year of high school. He was opening for Little Feat. What a double bill that was.
GREAT reaction!! Jeff Healey (RIP) is revered here in Canada (especially in Ontario as he is from Toronto), and his playing is no joke! My wife and I saw him live in 1999, and it was a wonderful night of blues rock! His cover of Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love was a superb highlight, as well as this song. HIGHLY recommend checking: Angel Eyes (nice ballad), How Long Can A Man Be Strong, and an amazing cover of The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps. He will be missed.
Blind since he was an infant. He taught himself to play guitar. He died to young. It's a same. He was not given his due up there with the great guitar players. You can tell he loves music and he's so into it. A legend!
I love your reactions Jeff is one of the finest musicians to ever walk the face of the earth and I'll fight the man who says different much love from Saskatchewan Canada 🙂
Wow incredible, I'm with you guys. I had not heard of him until through your channel so thank you, I'll have to check out more of his music. I noticed in some of the comments below saying that he had passed which gave me a lump in my throat. So I did some research and yeah he passed away from a rare cancer at the young age of only 41, it took his sight at an early age which I noticed in this video that something wasn't right. Very sorry to see him go so early, that's nor fair to anyone😟
Jeff Healey proved he could do anything. I read a book about Jeff and he was even able to drive the tour bus, while they were touring, with the direction of the bus driver. "A little to the left, a little to the right" type of direction. Hahaha. Jeff is one of the best guitarist in the world, in my eyes. He was an amazing man! He is sorely missed. RIP Jeff.
One of the highest compliments you can pay a guitarist is to call his work "incendiary." If this isn't on fire, I don't know what would be. I had the distinct honor of seeing Jeff live twice, and it is such a sad shame how young he was taken from us - just like his patron, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I can hardly get through this performance without weeping at his loss. What a singular talent.
And also with Mark Knopfler they made the song I Think I Love You Too Much together, although MK does not appear in the official video, he is the author and they made a beautiful version! Thanks!!!
He was amazing, wasn't he? SO great! Thanks for sharing this one. You might also enjoy seeing him in a fun movie called Road House with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot. Good 80's stuff. 🙂
You've just met my favourite guitarist since 1989...an Aussie 🇦🇺 loving this extraordinary Canadian 🇨🇦 ❤ since then! React to Jeff with Stevie Ray Vaughan playing 'Look at Little Sister' 🎸🎸🤘🤘 Cheers guys ✌️❤️ 🇦🇺 🎥 Also do yourselves a favour & check Jeff out in the killer movie 'Roadhouse'!..the Mrs will be happy with Patrick Swayze & Sam Elliott too 😉 😁
Jeff is great. The way he plays guitar on his lap is actually common in the in country, bluegrass and blues music using a guitar or 'resonator' guitar (frequently called a Dobro, which is a famous brand.). The steel guitar is played similarly but it has it's own stand so is not held in the lap. I lived in Memphis for a couple of years and we would get together and jam with a guy who played a Dobro. It can be played on your lap or as a guitar.
Discovered by SRV and Albert Collins when they went to a juke joint called Albert' Hall in Toronto. Him and SRV became great friends. Had the chance to see Jeff many times in the '80's and '90's. He could hold his own against any guitarist, and could play licks nobody else could touch due to his playing style😊
From Oklahoma...to Janet...my old high school flame, you still have " Angel Eyes" .. now a message to the Merchants...please react to Angel Eyes from Jeff Healy ...a perfect ballad , for a perfect couple. Much ❤️
Your enthusiasm for Jeff's playing was wonderful to watch. Jeff was a supremely talented guitarist, and who knows what he might have achieved had he lived longer. That video was also remarkable for the quality of the musicians backing Jeff. Marcus Miller on the bass and Omar Hakim on drums, adds up to the finest rhythm section on the planet, plus the legendary Dr.John on Piano, one of New Orleans finest artists.
I think you will like….”as the years go by”. Live in stuttgart Germany. You won’t see Jeff bouncing around so much but it’s more of a real bluesy song and he kills the guitar on that as well. It’s really good. Check it out
We all do this. Now that you've seen this watch his friend Strvie Ray Vaughan. Specifically Mary had a little lamb in Austin, Voodoo Chile in Austin and Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo. I was blessed to see this giant 5 times. RIP
I know you both love Stevie Ray Vaughan, and as luck would have it, Stevie Ray Vaughan did a performance with Jeff! If you want to see a performance of a lifetime, and I'm not kidding when I say this, you must watch Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan "Look at Little Sister "! It will make you happy that you got to witness such a performance in your lifetime. It's that incredible! 💯💣💥🙌
OVERCOME with JOY: EVERY TIME I SEE THAT PERFORMANCE.....he was SUCH a TALENTED MAN!! ....and, being backed-up by DR. JOHN, MARCUS MILLRER & OMAR HAKIM: WHAT a combination!! Dr. John was FIRE on the piano and had MANY hits, himself....and, Marcus Miller is a SURPREME player!! SO GLAD ya'll listened to this one!! LOVED IT!! HUGS!! ❤❤❤❤
I cooked him a meal at the restaurant I worked in and he asked me to jam because I was known as a musician in my area, I politely refused, I couldnt hang with Jeff.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction(s) to this unquestionably unique musician. 🤗 I personally had the incredible fortune to experience him performing live, up close, over several nights near the start of his legendary career, and I'd never even heard of him an hour before he touched the guitar on that memorable first evening! Mid/late '80s, Victoria BC, early evening on a warm summer Thursday: Me and some of the boys headed out to a local meat market / pick up bar that usually had a DJ. (🤭 Hey, I was young, well, late 20s, and there would likely be pretty girls there! 😂). When we arrived, we were perplexed to discover there was a lineup to get in, with posters advertising a live performer (not usual) debuting that night, with praises by the likes of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. So, what the hell, we waited in line. Once we got in we sat at a table right by the dance floor, about 15 feet from a two foot raised stage. After ordering our beer, the band came out, obviously guiding a blind guy. My buddies and I kinda looked at each other quizzically. 🤔 They sat him down in a chair onstage, handed him an electric guitar, which he placed on his lap 😯 ... then, when they started to play ... my world changed ... forever. It was Jeff Healey and his band, before their first album came out: I had never heard of him/them before, but he, specifically, had my attention now. He proceeded to play the cleanest, most amazing, unbelievable guitar licks I'd ever heard. He played blues, he played rock, he played country, he even played a bit of what sounded like flamenco. He played Hendrix better than Hendrix, he played with his teeth, he played while literally jumping around blind like a mad man. He seemed to be having a religious experience onstage. Despite it being a dance club, NOBODY danced that night. Every person, patrons and staff alike, stood around, hypnotized, with their mouths agape, staring, hardly believing what they were seeing and hearing. I went back Friday and Saturday, and again three nights the following week, as they were playing a two week gig there. Their first album came out shortly thereafter, and then he was in a movie with Patrick Swayze, and then ... well, I sadly never got to see Jeff Healey perform live again. But I still feel blessed, and I shall never forget how amazing the experience was that first night I saw him play! 😊
Also everybody in that band is famous or has become famous .the bass guitar 9:46 guitarist is called Marcus Miller he has his own albums out he's very good considered one of the best bass guitarist in the world.
His dad gave him a guitar when he was three. He was too small to hold it the norma l way so he played it on his lap. He is an icon here in Canada. Unfortunately cancer claimed his life when he was in his esrly 40's. Cheers
It's cool you found Jeff. Here in Canada he is beloved and many Canadians have an emotional hurt that he was taken too soon. Jeff also was a really good trumpet player as well.
Here in Texas also 👍
Jeff Healey was incredible. I remember seeing him in Road House and was like who the hell is this guy. So glad I discovered him growing up.
@@Sinkorswim1225 👍
Stevie Ray Vaughn loved Jeff and helped him along in his career. THE one and only Dr. John on piano just nailed it.
If you loved this, you should really check out his performance of 'As The Years Go Passing By' - it is absolutely incredible. Great reaction as always, love seeing how much you guys appreciate new music and awesome to see a beloved Canadian legend pop up on your channel. Peace and love from Canada!

So true
Jeff was a great player in the 80's. Check out Confidence Man by Jeff.
I'm soooooo happy y'all got to experience this great performance. There will never be another like him.
ANOTHER AMAZING CANADIAN ICON, SO CLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE HIS PERFORMANCE… GREAT REACTIONS 👏
You said his name right. Another great Canadian legend.
This brought tears to my eyes. Saw him play...gone way too soon....he died in 2008 when he was 41💕🇨🇦

Jeff was amazing. He has also played with Stevie Ray Vaughan (who "discovered" him at age 19)
He sounds a bit like him sometimes.
Wow incredible, I'm with you guys.

Saw Jeff twice in the 80s, Every show had the same amazing energy. Band was always tight. His cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is awesome.

Same.
If you want more Jeff Healey try Angel Eyes. One of his best! Thanks for all you do for us! Love it!!!
Than you James for recommending this song.
I remember walking in the park of Toronto and seeing this blind kid playing guitar and singing.👍🔥🤟
And also with Mark Knopfler they made the song I Think I Love You Too Much together, although MK does not appear in the official video, he is the author and they made a beautiful version! Thanks!!!
Love you guys. Jeff Healy certainly was proof positive that you can achieve great things with determination. And loads of god given talent
Great reaction! Jeff Healey is amazing!
I saw Jeff Healey at a University bar in Guelph Ontario.
Great show. Great performer
Love Jeff a great human and musician.
💙💙💙💙💙… Jeff Healey brought me here… Great reaction!! Subscribed!!🔥🔥🔥
Hey Canada, he was one of the best.😢🎸🎶🇨🇦

An all star lineup right there.
Great watching it with such a fine couple. Heavy hitters playing in this.
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff , live performance of
" Little Sister " is worth a watch.
Great reaction! you guys are awesome!
Beautiful reaction!
Jeff is great.

I never knew he was blind until I had seen him a few times. His talent does not care. Me either. Amazing guitarist.
Lovely reaction
Jeff always makes the list of the top "Unknown Guitarists, along with Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton. Glad you got to hear him play.
You guys are phenomenal and do the best reviews,
Never seen you two smile that much. I was great to watch.
A bar band with a very talented guitarist. No less and no more.
Awesome reaction, thank you.

Have you watched the movie: Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze ? It’s Jeff Healey and his band in the bar 😉
Another great Blues Man🤘
He's in the film.road house.
One of a kind😮
Hard to believe he's BLIND !!!
The one thing I dont here mentioned is that he was blind what an amazing musician and that was Dr. John on piano a legend in his own right
I think you will like….”as the years go by”. Live in stuttgart Germany. You won’t see Jeff bouncing around so much but it’s more of a real bluesy song and he kills the guitar on that as well. It’s really good. Check it out

Check out "Look at Little Sister" with Jeff & Stevie Ray Vaughn.......amazing!!
He was three years old when he started playing. It was easier for him to hold the guitar flat on his lap.
He imp is in the top three guitarist.
Dr. John on the ivorys 😎
🧡🧡😎😎. This isn't his band though. You should check them out with "As The Years Go Passing By" live in Germany.
Jeff could play the guitar the conventional way or his way, on his lap. He preferred his way.
BBking said The kid can do things the rest of us cant because of the way he holds the guitar
The piano player is Dr. John. Should lock into some of his stuff.
👍
He has another really good song called Angel eyes you should do that one next
Hey you should check out Child of Vision by supertramp, specifically the live 1979 Paris version, just a great song
Dr. Hook on piano
Dr. John
For more great guitar work check out liliac Mars live Cummings ga
Ex Nightwish Tarja O`Holy Night official video. New Album. Dark Christmas. Out Now.
So maybe you don't know but he's blind.
Another one gone way too soon. :(
