      Two other really good videos are his cover of As The Years Go Passing By at the Stuttgart Jazz Festival in 1995, and a cover of How Blue Can You Get at the Notodden Blues Festival in Norway in 2006. That latter one was only about 18 months before his passing.

    He's from Canada and he lost his sight at the age of 1 from a rare form of cancer. You need to check out him and Stevie Ray doing Look At Little Sister. He and his band were also the house band in the movie Roadhouse. He passed away in 2008.

    Jeff Healey has an awesome catalog of music. He was amazing to watch and hear! I first saw him back when the movie Roadhouse came out as they were the house band in the bar scenes of the movie and I just fell in love with him and his music not to mention his unique skill on the guitar. After that I looked for all his music and followed him ever since. I love his song “Confidence Man,” his music is all good but I just love the words and energy of that song! Angel Eyes is a great slow song but it’s beautiful too.❤

      I don't know if you have heard of Peter Frampton. But he was big in the 70s. His live album is still one of the best. He has a good voice, amazing guitar skills, and maestro on the talk box, which he made popular. You can watch him on the midnight special. The song do you feel like we do showcases his rymthatic guitar skills. Finally was inducted into thevr&r hall of fame this year. Love him. I think Bob seger is my favorite musician with 6 decades of hits.

    to famed Toronto blues club Albert’s Hall in 1985 where a then 19-year-old Healey - already renowned in Canada - was discovered by none other than Stevie Ray Vaughan. Some years later, Vaughan, the man I’d consider my favorite guitarist of all time, proclaimed Healey as the best guitar player in the world. That’s good enough for me. I can't believe he doesn't mention the legendary blues artist Dr John.

    Jeff Healey was a Canadian icon. 🇨🇦
    He lost his sight to ocular cancer when he was one.
    He received a guitar from his father when he was three. It was hard for him to hold the guitar the usual way at that age so he put it in his
    lap.
    Stevie Ray Vaughan said Jeff was the only guy that really pushed him to do better.
    Unfortunately cancer came back to claim him when he was 41.
    Two legends gone too soon.

    Having lost his sight to cancer at age 1 Jeff had never seen anybody play guitar. He didn't know their was a "right" way or a "wrong" way to play. He simply did what felt natural to him. And it obviously worked. We lost a great talent in Jeff Healey.

    Jeff lost his sight at 1 year old due to a cancer behind his eyes. Unfortunately, that same cancer took his life at, I believe, 41. His parents gave him a guitar as a child to give him something to do. With no lessons and no one to even teach him how to hold a guitar, Jeff just started playing how it was comfortable for him - on his lap. This is the result of a short lifetime of practice. I think his biggest hit was called, Angel Eyes, and it's a far cry from this. More pop, toned down type of song. He has a performance with SRV on a song called, Look At Little Sister. Straight fire, but this is my fav from him that I've seen. Amazing talent!!!

    This lineup was epic! Healey, Dr. John, Omar, Marcus - talk about legendary!
    Jeff was a Canadian, from Toronto, and he was pretty big up here! My wife and I saw him in 2000, and they blew the doors off the place! He did a cover of Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream that I still remember clearly, 24 years later! What an insane talent, and he could play the trumpet too!
    Cancer took his sight when he was one, and unfortunately it also claimed his life in 2008 (he was 41). He, Dr. John & SRV are lighting it up in heaven! What a party.

    I have related this elsewhere on UA-cam, however I can't help but repeat it, truth it being and damn lucky as I was ...
    Mid/late '80s, Victoria BC, early evening on a warm summer Thursday: Me and some of the boys headed out to a local dance club / 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! 😊
    Rock on, dude! ✊️

    💥💥Yeah Jeff Healey was the man he's was awesome 💯😎 but as far as his technique of playing, so The story goes , he started playing at 3 years old but somewhere down the line he started out trying to play the guitar traditionally and it just wasn't comfortable for him so he laid it in his lap and learn it like that he couldn't see so he didn't know how anyone else was playing a guitar so he just went with what he could do and that's what he ended up doing playing it in his lap
    🔥 Angel eyes original song a ballad but awesome
    But there's some live footage playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan too that's worth checking
    out
    He's got an awesome covered of WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS that's worth checking out. And some other original stuff
    But yeah we lost him too early he's from Canada died back at his home at the age of 41 R.I.P 🎶🌹JEFF🌹🎶

One night Jeff comes in with a little entourage and takes a table. Later he got up and did a half hour session for us I'll never forget. The next time I saw him was when he and Jeff Beck opened for Stevie Ray Vaughn, shortly before he passed.

    Cool story. Headed to my local music shoppe / hangout in summer of '88 when I not quite yet 18. Owners were walking out as I was headed in and they were closing shop early. They said they were headed to see Jeff Healey. I said who is that? He's that blind guitarist that was recently on the Tonight Show. I hadnt seen it. They asked if I wanted to come along and I was elated to go, without even having the slightest clue what I was in for. Needless to say my mind was absolutely blown! This song was one of the highlights. My guess is you have probably heard his song Angel Eyes on radio at least in passing at some point. He did a great cover of While my guitar Gently Weeps too. Jeff became one of my lifelong favorites. Super nice guy too. RIP. He was also the house bar band in the movie Road House with Patrick Swayze. I was on a musical high that night and went home and told my dad all about the show! Great memory! ❤❤❤ PS He also played Jazz trumpet and made some albums later in his career doing that.

    Dr. John the King of Ragtime piano. Jeff was also an accomplished Jazz trumpeter. You know you are tearing it up when Marcus walks up and looks over your shoulder to watch you during a solo. Omar the Beast laying down. Doesn't get much better.
    Kind of makes you feel like a wimp for all of the times you said, "I can't".

    I saw Jeff Healey at a small venue in Saskatoon Canada probably only around 250 - 300 people in February 1989, probably shortly after this particular performance in 1988. The Jeff Healey Band absolutely shook the packed house down and one of those rare moments in life to see such a Guitar Icon with just an absolute solid band. He had a really great Jazz Show on CBC Radio.

      You’d get total Big time creds from Canada if you did a reaction to the Song “Action” by the band Streetheart from the album Meanwhile Back in Paris.
      Kenney Shields is an amazing vocalist and at the time of the Album, had three of the forming members of LoverBoy. The song “Action” is an absolute kick ass song.

    I've been a fan of Jeff Healey since I first heard him in the 80s. You may recognize him from the Patrick Swayze movie "Roadhouse" and he can clearly kick the butt of many sighted guitarists...then he starts singing. RIP Jeff--you are missed.
    p.s. there is video of Jeff and Stevie Ray playing together. It is blazin' fire!

    There is a video of Jeff and SRV doing a duet Look at Little Sister. I suggest you take a look at that one. It is sad they are both no longer with us. Also from what I have read Jeff did learn to play the guitar the regular way but found the way he is playing here more comfortable. He was a wonderful talent that was taken too soon.

    Some years ago I went to a ZZ Top concert in San Francisco & the Jeff Healy Band was the opening band.
    He stood most of the show with his bassist shadowing him on the stage, and bumping him towards the mic, or away from the edge of the stage.

    I forgot to mention in my previous comment about Jeff, he and his band appear in the movie Roadhouse. The original one that starred Patrick Swayze, Kelly Preston and Sam Elliot. Jeff and his band are the house band in the bar that Swayze is the cooler for. Jeff has a few lines in the movie as well. The band was most of the movie's soundtrack as well.

    Jeff was 3 years old when he got his first guitar. His hands couldn’t fit around the neck so this is how he taught himself how to play. He does an incredible version of While my guitar gently weeps.
