So glad you got to react to another Canadian Icon.Jeff Healy is Fantastic.

Yet another CANADIAN 🇨🇦 Icon. I always liked Jeff Healey…never had the pleasure of seeing him though.

The pianist is Dr John - you could go down a whole other rabbit hole with the Doctor.

Hakim the drummer makes my all time top 10 list.

The one and only Dr. John on piano

Healey was a national treasure. He lost his sight to a rare form of cancer at age 1 and then lost his life to a more common form of cancer at only age 41. But boy did he love a lot in the short time he had on this earth! His biggest hit in the US (no 5 on Billboard's Hot 100) was a blues-rock ballad called Angel Eyes. I'd also recommend: - Confidence Man - Cruel Little Number - Stuck in the Middle with You - When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky; and - While My Guitar Gently Weeps I think you said you had heard the last one when you were a kid, but did you know it was produced by Jeff Lynne or that the other guitarist who appeared on that record was a fellow who enjoyed some fame in his own right (named George Harrison!)? PS - Yes, Jeff performed at Ronnie Hawkins's big birthday party show.

In 89 he came into a stereo shop i worked in to get something fixed and i happen to have a mixed tape with this song in my walkman and played it as he was leaving...he noticed smiled and thumbs up!

Hello everyone ! I was 16 or 17 and my best friend calls saying there's a blind guitar player playing at a club in downtown Calgary that night and we have to go. I don't know how we got in cuz I look so young but we did !!!. Amazing show. Not 4 years later I've become a stage Tech and a spotlight operator ! I've had many full circles in my life but it was only 4 years before I'm running spot for Jeff Healey at the silver dollar action center. He was a big part of me working on stage even to this very day. I didn't want to really be in the spotlight , just operated it. Thank you Jeff , and to the people who let me and my best friend in

Brilliant performance! 🤯🤯🤯

Jeff Healey also played the trumpet and clarinet in his own traditional jazz band, the Jazz Wizards. He collected as many as 30,000 old-time jazz records, mainly those on 78 r.p.m., which he played as the host of an hour-long radio show on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He formed the Jeff Healey Band in 1985, with the drummer Tom Stephen and the bassist Joe Rockman. The trio gave as many as 300 concerts a year for about two years before signing with Arista Records in 1988. Their second album for the label (after “See the Light”) was “Hell to Pay,” which featured guest artists including George Harrison. He made a total of 10 albums, including both jazz and blues-rock; it would be hard to guess that some of the albums were by the same artist. In January 2007, Guitar Player said, “Jeff Healey may be the only cat around who can play the prewar jazz of Louis Armstrong on the trumpet, and the heavy electric blues-rock of ZZ Top on the guitar.”

That's the legendary Dr. John on piano. Another rabbit hole for you.

Here's another fun fact: he was discovered by Stevie Ray Vaughan!

I saw him in '90 with Jeff Beck and SRV at Skydome.

Great reaction! I think he sounds like Johnny Lang.

❤😎

I met Jeff when we were both in high school. Both our high school jazz bands were playing at a national festival. Jeff was even then quite amazing. He is also a very good trumpet player. Love your reactions, Greetings from Canada.

Piano player is from New Orleans. Doc is his name

I love Jeff Healy, he an outstanding guitar player. There are a few songs on RU-vid with Jeff and Stevie Ray Vaughn...they are rippin' it up.

Wow OMG this performance is excellent I've never seen a musician playing guitar like this with ( as Rory said) weird technique, but good musicians can play instruments anyway it doesn't matter how they play them, If they are professionals in all aspects of music. It's good to see this videos, sadly there are not many musicians/singers such as in the past, it looks like nowadays whatever could become a singer. But is good to watch this performances, excellent Video Rory Merry christmas for everyone👏👍🎸😱🎄🎊

To see him with his actual band I would suggest "As The Years Go Passing By" live at the Stuttgart Jazz Festival. 😎

Great reaction Rory. Interesting that you associated his vocals with Peter Green and Hendrix.

The band was the house band from the NightMusic show. All masters in their own right. The trio he regularly performed with ("The Jeff Healey Band") were fantastic also.

🔥 (Even though hearing Jeff Healey always makes me think of the movie "Road House." 🙄😄)

You should check out Angel Eyes his vocals are amazing....another great Canadian ❤🇨🇦

Love his All Along The Watchtower Cover!

He plays a duet with SRV.Crazy

Dr John on piano, check out his Right Place Wrong Time, great reaction

Great for a blind man eh !!!!

Yes, to use your expression: "This is fire!" . I'm kinda surprised you hadn't seen this yet. Dr. John(piano) was a highly regarded New Orleans based performer; Marcus Miller (bass) was (is) a fantastic thumb slappin' bassist in the jazz rock idiom. Same with Omar Hakim (the drummer). Even the moderator, Dave Sanborn is an excellent musician (sax). Unfortunately Jeff Healy passed before his time. You like Stevie Ray Vaughan; you might want to check out Jeff and SRV playing "Look at Little Sister" :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2HmLFyvFxTc.html

He's probably using light Guage strings

Another great performer gone too soon

Why not Prince???

You do realize he’s blind right?
