Remembering Jeff Healey - Like a Hurricane

- This stunning video of Jeff Healey was filmed by Mako Funasaka at several live performances, and in the studio at what turned out to be Jeff’s final recording session.
The loss of Jeff Healey, who succumbed to cancer March 2, 2008, affected thousands of people. He was a deeply loved musician, who radiated sheer happiness every time he played.
Stony Plain Records was proud to release Mess of Blues, Jeff’s first blues/rock record for eight years, shortly after his passing. We were saddened that this great artist will no longer be able to bring his music in person, to audiences around the world. At Stony Plain we remember, best of all, his sense of humour. His unique style, his energy, and his eclectic musical tastes (ranging from classic jazz to rock and roll, with country music and a bit of psychedelia along the way). They were all part and parcel of a wonderful friend we will always miss.
Jeff was a joyful, optimistic man and a unique musician. As American guitarist Steve Lukather pointed out: "Every guitarist in the world just moved up a notch."

For all of those able bodied people who never try to be amazing....Take Notice! He was Amazing!
music is a beautiful thing, sound doesnt look. Rip a able body musician
Is the guy singing handicapped?
No, there was nothing handicapped about him, Paul. He was Amazing!!
Jeff was a phenom, a force on stage but never arrogant or proud offstage, was a true STAR!!!
Truly one of the BEST GUITARISTS I've ever seen live . Miss your music Brother !!!
If anyone that understands soul and the blues , Jeff Healy actually lived the meaning of the words and was able to express this through his music electrifying thru the Guitar and his singing were True gifts from God and he used these gifts to make everyone feel these gifts with Admiration and soulfulness. Thanks Jeff.

What a Tribute. Thanks.❤🎸😀
Loved Jeff ❣️ how could you not!?
Jeff Healey was a truly amazing guitarist and singer. I NEVER understood why this shooting star was not playing to sold out arenas for his entire career. Just stunning to watch this artist perform. 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
If you never ever got a shiver dowk your back listening to this incredible human being ?your not f-------g well! Sorry folks
How could this legend get thumbs down? What a world of Aholes!. Great tribute to an amazing man and artist.
Just came across this gem. Only version better is Neil’s. And yes, thumbs down people are assholes and useless people.
I don't see one
Goed jong groetjes uit holland
I like him 🎶🎸😅✌🏾😉🎸🎵
I’m going to take the thumbs down as a tribute to his physical approach to playing the guitar and providing us with his the beautiful music he gave us! There is no other logic reason. He put his heart out every time he pleased us with his music! If you can’t feel this deep in your heart you might have to check your pulse to see if you still have one! Thank you Jeff
Talk about the gift of God, Jeff Healey was Heaven sent. Rock on in Heaven Jeff. We'll miss you here on earth.
Ditto. I am madly in love with his music, his voice and his passion.
All ways great such a outstanding player and singer Jeff Heally don't get any better
Amazing version Amazing artist. RIP Jeff
Man if his guitar skills don't touch you then your beyond touching . And just one of the most amazing guitarist ever along with his vocals . Rock N Roll Hall of Fame should be ashamed of there selves . He should have been there long long time.
he's too overqualified to be hanging with most of those hacks :)
agreed
Simply fanominal
I agree, he deserves to be posthumously entered in!
❤
Jeff's version of 'while my guitar gently weeps' is something else.
Jeff Healey- Heaven gained an Angel- we lost 1. No ones music compares. Most moving soul touching music ever.
Sad to say I first came across Jeff in Road House and was a fan ever since 💙💙
When does he go into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame!
They had to make room FLAVAR FLAVE..... AND. SNOOP DOG.
You Really Rocked Road House just like You did this Song. I really miss seeing How far You took us on ur Journey with You and ur Music. Rest in Peace Jeff. I Hope ur Rocking out with the Angel's 😇
One of the greats is all anyone should say!!!
2 Legends Jeff Healey,.... Rory Gallagher...Need i say more?
Always loved Jeff Healy, but this song gives me goose bumps. What a legend
I loved his live version of "See The Light" but this is on another level!
Saw him in Melbourne in 88 l reckon, absolute star of the highest order
underrated voice. not to speak of the 'snerping' guitar this guy knows pain.
That one made me cry. You could always hear the emotion (pain? joy?) in his playing.
pain and joy! a true legend. legends never die!
He was one of the best guater players there is ❤❤
I love this version. It s slightly slowed down and more precise so you hear every note and every word he is singing. Excellent. Rest in musical peace jeff.
Always love ❤️ seeing him in Roadhouse he single handedly made that movie! 🤔 Ok Patrick Swazey was ok too 😅
The world lost a good one the Jeff Healy passed 😢
Masterpiece - love his music
I love Jeff Healey... He was so beautiful, so phenomenally talented and genuinely enjoyed his craft and gave his all! This video is a real treat... ❤❤❤
One of the greatest....I got to see him front row in Portland. I love his music@
Rest in peace you were a great guitar player and song writer miss u buddy
I love this version and I personally think it's the best but so sad knowing this legend is gone 😭 He was one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived !
He WAS, GREAT! SAW HIM IN A BAR 2015, what Talent! He was ONE of a kind❤😂
It AMAZES me how GOD works his wonders through people like JEFF. Amazing man. Just like Stevie Ray Vaughan, took from us too soon. Gues the saying is true, only the good die young.
Can’t say he was the best, can say there was and is no one better. A gifted player.
Excellent ,loved him ,what a Sad loss ,but never forgotten xx
I agree with Mitch, what a lot of Talent and performer as a person who lost their sight at the age of 1 , who in the world if you love great Musicians and music as much as I do not give credit where credit is due.
Beautiful just beautiful
Jeff Healy: One of the best unknown guitarist/performers of our time.
‘Like a Hurricane’, he didn’t stay long but made one helluva impression! 👏👏👍🎸
"Yeah, and I thought you'd be bigger" = Great line.

Ich mag "If MY Guitar simply wheaps", aber ich Liebe "like a Hurricane". Ich habe Jeff Healey seinerzeit in Osnabrück erlebt. Es war ein HOCHGENUSS, und darum Beglückwünsche ich Jeff HEALEY zu seinem göttlichen Guitarrenspiel. Hochachtung von mir und uns.
RIP, Jeff. You were the best.
