Jeff Healey: See the Light ( Phenomenal Guitarist) : Reaction 

Thank you. I hope we can explore more

Me too Bro. Greetings from BC.

Never to late...never....Jeff was great..

One amazing player for sure

Really was amazing and gone too soon thanks for being here

He definitely deserves recognition as he is unique and amazing

Equally a genius and a natural

I think that is definitely going on our list. Can’t wait to check it out myself

@@TheThamesmenToo Recommend Jeff Healy and SRV doing "Little Sister" live!

Agreed! An absolute must see! Thank goodness for videos. It's a treat to behold the two of then sharing the stage. RIP to them both, gone too soon.

Will do thanks for the tip

He really was astounding lucky you to have seen him

Thanks Rick. You certainly know your music

That must have been amazing

@@TheThamesmenToo it really was

Thank you and welcome

Thank you for being here we really appreciate the support

I think it is time we did more from him and I think we should move him to Main channel as been a popular choice here

@@TheThamesmenToo I know you guys are already aware of his performance with SRV. May I recommend his performance at the Stuttgart Jazz Festival of "As The Years Go Passing By" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gIkOaTVu8uM.html Another supreme performance (which ones aren't) by Jeff Healy.

Glad you liked it and it brings happy memories

Very True and truly unique

Thank you for the recommendations we will check it out appreciate your comment

Hoping to do more Jeff and as been so popular we hope to do on main channel so hopefully you are subbed there and will see it when we do it

@@TheThamesmenToo I subscribed the minute I saw you reacting to one of my favorite musicians. It wad a really good reaction. I love when people find out he's blind. Waiting for more reactions gentlemen. Great channel

Really? Wow

Joni Mitchell is a really good idea I hope we can get to that soon.

Oh that sounds interesting. Better check it out thank you. You would get a surprise if Benny Hill showed up!

It is one hell of a lineup! Hope to see more.

Ive heard this song many many times with Jeffs regular band, this bass player here is ripping it up, love it.

Ooh I need to see that. Let me find it!

Add Prince at the R&R Hall of Fame ceremony before making your final judgment. But keep all of them in the end.

Bold statement with a little help from my friends Joe Crocker

@@BeeBumper Let’s just call it a draw.

100%.

Perfect. Thank you

@@TheThamesmenToo Got on it.

Now that is a bizarre situation!

Sounds good. Thanks

@@TheThamesmenToo Hope you enjoy another video you may enjoy Sass Jordan Make you a Believer with Jeff Healey

You had to two Ronnie’s in Canada? In retrospect I find them incredibly funny. They were great

@@TheThamesmenToo We did! One of our tv stations, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) ran it and a few others that I know longer remember! Also, my mom was a huge fan of the Carry On series of movies and would take us to the drive-in to watch them. Only the black and white ones! As an aside, the drive-in is still running in our little prairie town!

@@hildapederson8174 Brilliant. We grew up on Carry on hence our strange sense of humour! Did you ever get Morecombe and Wise? I loved them too

@@TheThamesmenToo Never heard those names. Another comedy duo? I remember Benny Hill but didn't care for him. PBS out of the States introduced us to Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served, Black Adder in the 80's. I'm still a HUGE fan of British television!🥰😍

I'm Canadian too, didn't The Two Ronnies come on right after Benny Hill?

Yup. Sure is!

That must’ve been quite a thing. What a rare treat.

Our pleasure. Thanks for guidance on what else to see

@ Tim S so right, that performance is second to none. I really hope that the Thamesmen Too do it, next time (you hear that, guys?). Jeff was also an accomplished jazz trumpeter, owned his own club here in Toronto and would join almost any act on stage. A really great guy - he gave Amanda Marshall her break, too.

Yup. That’s us!

Wow great recollections and thank you for sharing. Thank you for the recommendation too we very much appreciate it

add Frank Marino (and Mahogany Rush) - very few in his class - live at Agora Theatre

You are right and we should promote him. now just need to find some time!

George here, I never did see that film is it worth watching ?

@@TheThamesmenToo I suppose the movie is a classic because it's played on TV often. I liked the movie and will watch it from time to time. The movie is about a bouncer who's hired to clean out the riff raff and make the bar/pub respectable for it's patrons.

I knew I knew him from somewhere! Thanks for the reminder. I'm no Thamesman, but I too was blown away by this performance!

Thank you for the recommendation. So glad we got to see that and hear it. What an amazing and unique talent I can see why you are so passionate for us to hear it. We absolutely hope to cover the Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff track. Thanks again

@@TheThamesmenToo Thanks, I won't steer you wrong in my suggestions. 😉 As someone else mentioned Little Feat (no, they are not Canadian LOL) I think you would enjoy them as well. Dixie Chicken or Fat Man in the Bathtub would be a good start. Cheers🙃

Exactly well said. Thank you for being here

Yes seems to be a common opinion He can certainly play

@@TheThamesmenToo along with Jeff another Canadian Frank Marion esp. live at agora theatre

True magician with a very unique style.

Thanks for the help. Will do

Love your reactions. Descriptive, informative and articulate. I can tell you guys are true music lovers and appreciate all the fine details the artist is trying to convey to its audience.

@@dannychase1787 we do love music even if we get a bit sidetracked at times!

Not sure I have anything I can boast about doing when I was 22!

A tragic story but a life well lived. Very jealous of the opportunities you had.

Kim was at his bar with him,he said to Jeff, "your lucky you can't see,this place is dump",Jeff laughed and laughed,as told by Jeff.

It is strange have some bands can pass you bye. That said it means we have great things to discover from many years past

We have covered a couple of Gary tracks on the main channel. Check them out and let us know what you think. Thanks for being here

Thank you we hope to entertain and find good music.

We sometimes remember to do that!

Good to know. Thanks

Perfect thank you

Alex is a big fan of Jerry Lee Lewis so that might be interesting

Excellent thank you for the link we really appreciate the help and support

It is a movie worth watching or just worth watching because Jeff Healey is in it?

@@TheThamesmenToo It is a lark from the highest order. Probably wouldn't pass the censor today, some might say. Let's say, gambling, violence, crooks, nice doctor, and a dancer plays the lead...

We are learning as we go!

But he certainly worked out an amazing technique and it sure did not hold him back

Will check it out thank you very much.

Thank you for the tip much appreciated

He is amazing!

Little Feat and Jeff Healey!! That would have been a great concert. We need some Little Feat on this channel two!

@@debbieplato5107 It was. I agree. :little feat is good for your soul. Dixie chicken for beginners. But Sailin' Shoes is on my top 10 list.

@@markburris9778 Fat Man in the Bathtub and Two Trains are two of my favs.

We get there in the end! We had heard of Jeff Healey but never experienced him as was not part of the music a group of friends was playing. The excuse really but we get here in the end

@@TheThamesmenToo I saw you liked SRV so I figured you would like Jeff Healey.

Will do thanks

That is pretty cool. Did you know him?

@@TheThamesmenToo I knew him. His Dad was a politician. Think it was his step dad actually. Shared the devil's Lettuce with Joe on a few occasions. Saw Jeff Healey and band in a lot of bars in Toronto, but the best was when in saw him and the Tragically Hip (also Canadian) on Canada Day in Central Park at the bandshell.

Yup. Perfect

Thanks for the suggestion

Will do. Thank you

Is it a good movie or just Jeff?

Probably!

Not sure Alex saw this message. His father is the keyboard player but you may have known that. We did cover some Alvin Lee. I think Alex thinks it’s a bit close to home sometimes

@@TheThamesmenToo No I thought Alvin Lee was his dad. I Stand corrected

That would be epic. We will honor the 500 like rule as we just did with Midnight Oil

@@TheThamesmenToo 506 !

You are absolutely right and we will honor our pledge and do some of his Material on the main channel! What do you recommend?

@@TheThamesmenToo I can suggest 2 more Jeff Healy tracks: As The Years Go Passing By and While My Guitar Gently Weeps cover, both have great Live performances on RU-vid that should be able to find easily. Looking forward to it, cheers guys!

@@TheThamesmenToo Suggested Jeff Healy link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gIkOaTVu8uM.html

Now that is a great story and unique experience. Congratulations and I am jealous! Thanks for sharing

@@TheThamesmenToo I've left this similar comment on a few Jeff Healey first time reaction videos and you're the only one who's responded in any matter, so you are most welcome and thank you right back for taking the time to respond!👍🤘

@@bigbobvub No Worries. We get a lot of comments and we hope to reply to everyone as we do this to learn, have a laugh and build a community of like minded fools! We are thinking we would like to do some more Jeff Healey and may well do on our main channel as it deserves to be there. Would you recommend a particular track or performance?

@@TheThamesmenToo yes, I can give you an awesome song Jeff does it's called, As The Years Go Passing By" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gIkOaTVu8uM.html

It was a very different style but seemed to work! Will check out the recommendation. Thanks for reminder

Thank you for the recommendation much appreciated

@@TheThamesmenToo Also As the Years Go By...beautiful

That would be a combo! Have a great weekend

Glad you liked it. Was a revelation to us too

Think I better watch roadhouse because people keep recommending it! Thanks for being here

Do we look like the type to watch Patrick Swayze movies! That said I will travel to see Sam Elliot tache! We really have no excuse though!

Lucky you. Must have been amazing

So sad his career was Cut short only imagine what else he would’ve got on to create.

Just shows when we actually listen to our subscribers we get to find amazing bands! That said channel 2 here is our safe space where we can experiment

It would be hard to argue with his opinion!

He was really something exceptional. Thank you for your support here

That would be amazing as a great track in itself. Thanks for the suggestion

Thank you for the links. It was just what we’re looking for as we are thinking of doing another world week where we explore musicians of several countries.

@@TheThamesmenToo You won't be disappointed. And she must have about two dozen other live performances just as good. She is the planet's best kept secret in the music world because she won't sign onto the Hollywood lifestyle with the big record labels. She just turned down Sony Music US a little over a year ago because she's a serious Christian and is convinced the Big Time music biz will be spiritually ruinous. What a singer! Like I said, I've never seen or heard better and I'm 63, so I've seen most of them. 😉🎶💖👌🎸 PS Both songs are in English, though she does sing many songs in Korean. She speaks five languages, so you will soon realize you are dealing with a seriously intelligent woman here. But also one of the most humble persons you will ever come across. Also, if you don't know, Korean broadcasters are simply copyright maniacs. So pause from time to time and also add a blur filter a couple of times during the reactions. That is almost the only way past these people. Sometimes people just put up a plain old reaction and they don't stop it. But I can't count how many they've hindered until a blur is added a couple of times. It doesn't have to be through the entire performance, but for 15 or 20 seconds should squeeze you by.

Thank you. We do live some retro!

Heh...that's my home town. Didn't see Jeff but I did see SRV.......at the Old Lady by the Lake.

Hopefully we can do more and promote him to the main channel! Would be good to hear wailing away in a supermarket better than the average canned music

George here. Somehow not managed to see that film. Is it that good?

Its a great movie, I think anyway. It has Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott in it. I absolutely love Sam Elliott, he is one of my favorite actors ever.

Did he play tunes or was he a host to others?

@@TheThamesmenToo he hosted a show, played (as on spun records) a lot of blues, and soft jazz, and interviewed people from those genres.

@@TheThamesmenToo Randy Bachman, from the Guess Who, and BTO, also has a shoe, featuring guitarist, I think its call Vianaltap.
