The following was borrowed from Wikepedia:
"Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey (March 25, 1966 -- March 2, 2008) was a blind Canadian jazz and blues-rock vocalist and guitarist who attained musical and personal popularity, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Healey was raised in the city's west end. He was adopted as an infant; his adoptive father was a firefighter. When he was one year old, Healey lost his sight to retinoblastoma, a rare cancer of the eyes. His eyes had to be surgically removed, and he was given ocular prostheses.
Healey began playing guitar when he was three, developing his unique style of playing the instrument flat on his lap. When he was 15, Jeff Healey formed the band Blue Direction, a four-piece band which primarily played bar-band cover tunes. Among the other musicians were bassist Jeremy Littler, drummer Graydon Chapman, and a schoolmate, Rob Quail on second guitar. This band played various local clubs in Toronto, including the Colonial Tavern.
Healey began hosting a jazz and blues show on radio station CIUT-FM where he became known for playing from his massive collection of vintage 78 rpm gramophone records.
Shortly thereafter he was introduced to two musicians, bassist Joe Rockman and drummer Tom Stephen, with whom he formed a trio, The Jeff Healey Band. This band made their first public appearance at the Birds Nest, located upstairs at Chicago's Diner on Queen Street West in Toronto. They received a write-up in Toronto's NOW magazine, and soon were playing almost nightly in local clubs, such as Grossman's Tavern and the famed blues club Albert's Hall (where Jeff Healey was discovered by guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins).
After being signed to Arista Records in 1988, the band released the album See the Light, featuring the hit single "Angel Eyes" and the song "Hideaway", which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. While the band was recording See the Light, they were also filming (and recording for the soundtrack of) the Patrick Swayze film Road House. Healey had numerous acting scenes in the movie with Swayze, as his band was the house cover band for the bar featured in the movie. In 1990, the band won the Juno Award for Canadian Entertainer of the Year. The albums Hell to Pay and Feel This gave Healey 10 charting singles in Canada between 1990 and 1994, including a cover of The Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps which featured George Harrison and Jeff Lynne on backing vocals and acoustic guitar.
On January 11, 2007, Healey underwent surgery to remove metastatic tissue from both lungs. In the previous eighteen months, he had two sarcomas removed from his legs.
On March 2, 2008, Healey died of cancer at St. Joseph's Health Centre in his home town of Toronto. He was 41 years old.
In October 2012, his family launched the 'all-new' official website at Jeffhealey.com."

Seven people (as of October 13, 2018) didn't like this concert. They cannot "See the Light," nor can they hear.
Awesome.... lucky enough to see Jeff five times in concert..... a true guitar legend and a great guy. Sorely missed.
My very first blues concert ever was Jeff Healey. Since then i'm a convinced "bluesman". All thanks to Jeff. Keep playing in Heaven, bro.

Holy shit!! what a voice! R.IP I'm glad to see him in Gananoque Ontario years ago.. god bless. Thank you
Watching Jeff's left hand is pure poetry in motion.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN BROTHER!!
First time seeing this, and it was posted 10 years ago!? Just the way I dig music; raw, sonic, improv gymnastic singing, speaking, playing, showmanship. A radiant still at 34; looks like he's being stabbed by lightning sound.
Huge kudos to whomever filmed this, you didn't miss a beat.

Rev. Bob - thanks so much for posting the video and the wonderful words you wrote. And what a great performer! So glad he was with us, if only for such a short time.
Bad Ass Unique Preformer
never got to see him live ..truly amazing guitarist and a tragic story with his health
Oh man I remember this guy from when I was a kid. I think I seen him on Kirchner or Flowers or some show it might have even been Carson and ran out to find an album. This dude is tight. Great channel Rev Bob. Thanks for uploading!
He truly was awesome R.I.P jeff healey.
Saw Jeff, John Saint Holiday and Chris Beall from austin in printer's alley one night about 97 98 amazing night! R.I.P. Jeff
Saw him once what a show, they where dancing on the tables and the guitar was screaming
Lucky you!
+frank maffa saw him twice, once as a headliner and once as the opening act for Jeff beck and Stevie Ray Vaughn
wow nice show must of been
I first saw Jeff when his first album came out, and he played two nights at a supper club called The Strand in Redondo Beach, CA (southern Los Angeles County). On the second night, the surprise guest was Robbie Krieger of The Doors. I saw him again at the now-demolished Los Angeles Sports Arena, where he opened for ZZ Top. He was funny, smart, and enjoyed talking to the audience. I miss him and Stevie Ray Vaughn so much. They were incredibly talented men who died far too young. Rest in peace.
Saw my boy Chris Duarte open for Healey at La Zona Rosa in Austin!
just need a doobie and a cup of coffee and relax with jeff !
24:57 starts to just curl my toes! 32:53 that base plays right to my soul.
beautifullness in a human being
@ 21:30 he kinda does a "dive bomb" with his (non floyd rose) tremelo and the guitar goes alittle bit out of tune, When he starts singing he reaches over and quickly tunes one of the strings. I can tell you that's not very easy to do..
Just one of the greatest! Truly brought some new stuff to the game. But he was a little pissy to the monitor tech...
Jeff was a sweet guy and announced to the sound engineer that the monitors were not working ten minutes into the show. That comment was after an hour of having issues. If you perform live Music you will get it.
There's evidence of the divine right there 😯
That sound guy wishes he was on the outskirts of town I bet!
barbarooooooooo

First time I have seen Jeff play acoustic guitar - thanks for posting this video.
Thanks very much Rev. Bob on providing these incredible videos which probably wouldn't be readily available to the public! He still rocks on with his fans and his new fans being educated by watching these videos.
Scott Sanders ~ Music is a lot like manure! It doesn't do any good unless you spread it around! Thanks for watching!
DESTINED to be one of my faves! Acoustic guitar blues!!! COOOOL!!
A truly singular unique gifted one of a kind inspiration and artist. Blessed to see him live in a small venue in Clearlake CA in 95. Life isn't just, kind or fair. RIP Jeff
Great legend.....only this!!!!
tks 4 sharing !!!
No easy place to be, coming on after Duarte. Jeff could handle it.
Super!
there's a video him playing with srv 'little girl' , he outshined stevie ray (no disrespect) ....imagine that
Kurt is that you?
He is really one of the most unique and underrated guitarist that ever lived. Even his chord voicing are his own due to his one of a kind over the top of the neck style of playing.
Thanks and love to Jeff and his family LOve always . James lawton .

The outskirts of town song was a nice surprise. I never heard him playing this before. Thanks for uploading this. I don't know too much acoustic stuff of Jeff. ❤
Jeff passed away in 2008.
ahora si los vi a todos genial
someone know, what kind of tune (afinación) used in his guitars? sound beatifull!
Pretty sure standard tuning. It looks like it when he plays, and the 80s guitar magazines would have said so if not. One A-hole columnist called him the blind boy wonder. Jealous of his big stretches and bends.
Man you guys are really lucky all the ones that got a say him awesome awesome guitar player beautiful beautiful man inside and out my goodness I still have a crush on him He left us too soon and he was awesome singer awesome guitar player awesome guy
I wish i would have seen him ❤
brilliant musician
