  • u have always had talent my bruda jeff play hard and hearty ma bro from anutha mother we here more mortals still living luv ya

  • jeff thank you for great music,rest in peace great man

  • This guy was blind and he STILL played better than me :P

  • i just like to think Jeff Healey, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, Sippy Wallace, Robert Johnson...and oooohhhhh so many others are out there somewhere...still rockin' the blues like only they could!!!!! and now....they have Miss Etta James to sing lead for them!!!! <3

  • R.I.P.... total inspiration... Indeed...

  • That crowd should be on their fucking feet! Jeff was ridiculously talented, and when he stood up and played that solo, I stood up and clapped. I think he hit the notes Morrison hit on the original, he just had his style. Thanks for posting!

  • This is even better than in the movie version! God Bless Jeff, RIP

    His family can be so proud!

  • I was only lucky enough to see the Jeff Healey Band once, in Glasgow, in 1990 or so when he was touring Hell To Pay. What a pity I won't get another opportunity and I'm sorry he's gone.

  • this band is the bee's knees..

  • What a musician he was! Why is nobody in the audience dancing? This isn't sit-down music!

  • Jesus what a phrasing.

  • it is delightful to see that the man enjoyed his life to the full

  • In my eyes hes a Blind Jimi Both which Were Great Artist

  • loll ! esti de malade !!!!! Ce gars kick des culs !

  • What an awesome version, playin' his ass off for a dead crowd. Were they expecting Tina Marie or some lame dance music?? Nothing worse than playing to a house full of Zombies.

  • dont know if anyone knew, he was also an amazing jazz panio and trumpet player.

  • There's like two people dancing at the right! Are these fu@#ing people dead or what? I think they were shocked!

  • Jeff ROCKED! I make more noise watching this than the audience did! lol

  • What´s wrong with the audience?? They should be going all nuts. Or maybe they´re just too mesmerized ;)

  • <-----------Slides across the floor starts breaking out the carlton :P

  • jeff is thebetmusician ever

  • awesome

  • Always amazes me how Jeff never lost his place when he got up and jumped around like that. The guy truely was one of the best.

  • sexy time

  • This was always one of my favourite tunes Healey played live. just great, great stuff. Left us too soon.

  • legend, greatly missed :-(

  • sweet.

    

  • At 2.39 when he stands up you KNOW he is diggin the hell out of it. I know I was just watching it.

  • that guy knew the blooos

  • veramente strepitoso,

    grande Jeff

    R.I.p.

  • What did that guy mean "was inspirational"? He is!

  • is that crowd for real ? i mean WTF !! they're probably in shock ... yeah, im sure thats it ...

  • RIP Jeff ,you are a legend.,thanks for the up.

  • I love you man . . . rest in peace . . . and geetar noise

  • is he blind?

  • @mom0g1 Yes he was, bless him

  • @mom0g1 yes , well was, he passed away about 4 years ago.??, awesome guitarist tho wasnt he?.

  • If you're ever feeling sorry for yourself and think you can't accomplish anything, just listen to this man play. Blind since he was a baby and he learns to play guitar as good as anyone before or after his time. Total inspiration and a total genius.

  • no one could ever play roadhouse guitar as bad as this man right here.....this is true roadhouse music man....

  • this is the only cover of this song i truly like other then the jim and the doors rest in peace jeff maybe you and jim are jamming together out there somewhere and jeff thanks for those amazing shows back in the late 80 s at molson park in barrie i remeber your closing performance in the pooring rain the show did go on many memorys thank you

  • A man like this is born once in a 1 000 000 years. Rest in peace mate :)

  • Simply the best

  • Man Jeff can twist a strat! His tone and phrasing is awesome in this song. Gives me goose pimples everytime I hear it. This jam was cold!

  • What a shame we lost him at such a young age...his music rocks!!

  • This guy was awesome! He knew how to rock!

  • Jeff Healey was fucking insane.

    Nothing more or less than pure god given talent.

    RIP Jeff.

  • @theflyingmouse God didn't give him anything, basically what you're saying is the years of practice and craft meant nothing? he was born and could play automatically?

  • @SuperJBrowne Dude, you take things way too seriously lol.

  • @theflyingmouse Nah, I just get sick of seeing comments like "he had a God given talent" when as a musician I know how much is time and sacrifice is required. If I just prayed for it I'd still be here twiddling m thumbs.

  • @SuperJBrowne hate to tell you this but you either are born with it or not and i think you already know this because you are probably a musician that has to continue to struggle because you werent born with it.

  • @777leenie1 For what it's worth I don't struggle and to a degree I agree with you, some people are quite gifted in certain fields but there is still hard work in everything. Take for instance guitar playing, you don't just pray and all of the sudden you have vibrato like David Gilmour or Eric Clapton, you have to work at it, which is the point I was making. It's like saying Jeff Healey had nothing to do with any of his abilities.

  • @777leenie1 Cont. Just so we're clear I've been playing at a comfortable level for a long time, mostly blues and rock but have been in a thrash band for about 3 years so i guess you could say I struggle a bit with that stuff but blues is my bread and butter.

  • @777leenie1 And so what about Beethoven, has anyone heard the stuff he wrote when he was young? I could be complete crap who knows? I bet it's nothing like the stuff we know now of him.

  • @SuperJBrowne ever heard of beetoven? yup born with it

  • Jeff ist so AMAZING!!! Like his art of musik so much!

  • with apologies to doors purists,this is the best damn version of this song ever.and the best garage band/bar band thrasher.we close every show with this,and it never fails to get them roarin'!! keep your eyes on the road....rip jeff...

  • RIP Jeff

  • Piano is simple to play compared to not only slide-guitar but guitar in general!This man is a legend unto himself

  • @SweetWhiskerz right you are Whiskerz my friend :)

  • @SweetWhiskerz I play guitar and piano.... you obviously don't......

  • @SweetWhiskerz very simple!!!!now you try, you idiot!!!!!

  • @SweetWhiskerz I agree that this man is a legend... but piano is simple to play? lol..... in a pure 'musical" setting, piano is shit tonnes harder than guitar...

  • @SweetWhiskerz I've always thought piano was more difficult...and I started playing it first lol..unless you mean to play it blind

  • He is so great.......I have all his songs on ipod because I rediscovered the movie Roadhouse......he is very missed..............peace.

  • So ein gesegneter Mann :D Ich finde es total geil, dass genau so einer das Talent bekommen hat!! Hat's wirklich verdient und weiß so irre damit umzugehen. Er spielt besser als alle anderen, die sehen können :D !! Schade nur, dass er so früh sterben musste :(

  • Jeff Healey was also the lead guitarist in Amanda Marshall's Band!
