    Music is all about one's taste, but please, please, just skip away if you don't like it! Rating thumbs down is a plain insult for this great, great musician and wonderful human being, makes me sad... RIP brother, thank you for your wonderful music and inspiration, hope you are jamming with another legend, SRV in heaven. Thank you very much for sharing 1016vortex. Peace to you all.

    Jeff has been largely forgotten by the music world. Not many seem to understand the feat he complete ed to teach himself that method of playing in his lap and to be a total monster on blues guitar, he gave SRV a run for his money. Personally I think he was better, Jeff really had to feel it. Your music will carry on Jeff Healey!

    This has to be the best ever recording of Jeff. He must have been delighted when he heard it played back. It's a wonderful combination of technical skill, passion and being in the moment. Both his guitar playing and his vocals are stunning. I miss him.

    The beauty of his talent notwithstanding his disability speaks to the fact that G-D will make everthing right in the end.... he will play in the heavens with Mozart, Bethoven, Chopin, Hendrix, Vaughan, etc.....

    @Zippsters 11 лет назад +219

    I cannot believe I had NEVER heard of this guy! But then maybe I can . . . having been busy during those years he performed raising six kids. But OH how happy I am to have found his music - what a talent!!! My goodness I cannot imagine how huge his loss must be felt by his family. I do prefer acoustic but his ability is clear! I just listened to "Georgia Grind" in which he also plays fantastic trumpet - wow just an amazing musician - we are so blessed to have the ability to enjoy him still!!

    Jeff was a master and a true guitar hero, up there with my favourite Gary Moore. Funny enough Gary was famous for his version of 'As The Years Go Passing By' as well. I've never heard Jeff play this before today believe it or not! It's a fantastic cover, Jeff R.I.P.

    Amazing. Simply amazing. Jeff Healy was one of the few guitarists who could reach down and touch your soul. He had the ability to draw emotion from his guitar that only a handful of great mucisians could. He was able to voice pain and pleasure simultaneously with his soaring solos...his talent was a treasure that will be sorely missed.

    Jeff Healey .Sorely missed in my music world. Being a guitar player for most of my life, I cant even compare my abilities to his. But I can identify with the feel. '
    The best moments onstage are when you can close your eyes and let it flow out of you. Jeff did it every day. I think he had an advantage rather than a disability. And also the left thumb with a mind of its own. OMG. Miss u Jeff.

  • @00xanawolf00
    @00xanawolf00 8 лет назад +228

    UNBELIEVABLE!!! When he tears into that emotional, climactic, building solo starting around the 4 minute mark, the hairs on my arms stood up and I got chills that lasted the rest of the song! Just phenomenal. RIP Sir Jeff!!!

To bad he is gone, :`( One of my favorite Guitarists.Maybe I will see you again Jeff,in God's new world to come :-D Peace out to one of the Greatest artist of his time.You are missed Jeff :-)

    @MickLoud999 6 лет назад +37

    Jeff worked at his craft. I saw him many times at seedy and not so seedy joints on Yonge St in the early 80s. First time was at the Upper Lip. I once just heard him as we were walking down the street and popped in for a few beers at the old Colonial. He would go to Yonge St and play wherever. Saw him about 7-8 times. The last being at Ontario Place forum. RIP Jeff you were the best.

  • @zach4590
