Finally got to see him live in Dyersburg,Tennessee and let me tell you,,, videos do not do him justice. it was an incredible experience. They walked him on stage and he lit that fret board up!!! A memory I’ll cherish forever!
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.
You left out that the older guys, including BB told him he could be bigger than all off them. SRV hit the scene and he was from Canada, so he got shelved. I saw him live twice in intimate shows, and he's the only guitarist that made me cry. I got to gamble with him. He was a very caring, and funny person. RIP Jeff and the band
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
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.👏👏👏👏👏
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 .
@FollowMySpirit 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!
