The mere fact that Jeff taught himself to play guitar the way he did was nothing short of amazing. Stevie Ray Vaughn even said he thought Jeff was probably the greatest guitar player he had ever heard. That's pretty damn solid right there. R.I.P. Jeff .

1989 sitting in a bar in downtown Calgary, Alberta with my best friend watching Jeff perform a little gig. After the show he walked over to our table with a friend helping him and asked if he could sit down for a drink. We talked with him for a half hour or so and we left thinking it wasn't such a big deal. Years later I still listen to him and play along. Thanks for the inspiration and music Jeff.

His disease didn't stop him from being one of the best musicians ever. He inspires so many people around the world

Had Jeff in my cab many times in Toronto.. a real gentleman.so sad he past so young 😢

Sitting here wondering how this guy always gets left off 100 greatest guitar players list

Jeff was one of the most underrated players to ever strap on the instrument.... period....🎸🎸🎸

I had the good fortune to see Jeff Healey live at the Long Beach Blues Fesitval might have been like 2007 (whoops it was 2002). He came out playing his guitar on his lap like he did. I swear his guitar sound live was incredible. I kid you not, I had goose bumps all over and for some reason my eyes leaked tears all over my face.. He played as the years go passing by by the great albert king.. He was a legend.... much love to Jeff Healy.....

Holy...fucking...shit... I watched Jeff rock in Roadhouse but I had no idea how many brass balls this guy was carrying. Fucking awesome!!! Neil Young needs to bow and give praise to this artiste. Healey turned a hurricane into a cyclone.

Absolutely my favorite cover of this song and Jeff Healey is just beyond my mind's comprehension .

This incredible music is for old men like me from days long gone, with my beloved lady in bed and my devoted dog guarding her, as I sit here alone the foothills, drinking my beer and reliving the incredible moments of my younger years! Music is ageless! Time marches on!

If all this guy had was that rich, soulful voice, that would have been enough to front any band. The truth is that he wrote some great song, and played guitar quite unlike anyone else. His "All Along The Watchtower" still makes me tingle from head to toe, though I've heard it a thousand times now. RIP big guy. One of the best of us.

He always set the stage on fire with his playing . You see other players even Stevie Ray look at him and think OMG . God bless him great player

I could listen to this song 14 billion times in a row and not get sick of it. Raw talent, raw emotion, raw beauty. Miss you, Jeff.

Jeff your guitar playing was amazing. What a gift you had. You're gone much too soon. Thanks for the Memories Jeff. We miss ya. ~S~ Salute.

The young and the old playing the same great Harrison classic together. And this will go on and on for future generations. Great music lives forever.

Jeff Healy was a great Blues Rock Artist, an inspiration to millions of fans, this guy kicked major ass!!!

Wow Jeff Healey, he was so underrated even in his prime. I met him about twelve years ago, he was one of the nicest and friendliest people i've ever met. So called musicians today don't have a 50th of the heart and soul or talent he had. RIP buddy

I have Goosebumps as I write this. Rest in peace Jeff Healey. You were never in the same room and you never walked on the same dirt as the rest of us mortals

I listened to Jeff since maybe 88 or 89. My Aunt and Uncle took me to see him at Peabodys pub in Cleveland ohio. It was just before See the light came out. Show was awesome. I am so glad I had a chance to listen, appreciate and soak in the greatness that is Jeff. Still get misty hearing his music. To his wife and his kids. Your husband ,your dad gave me so much joy listening to his stuff. Thankyou God Bless ya

I played in a rock outfit in Houston for yrs. When we weren't playing we were watching other acts & guitarists to the point of boredom. But when I got a backstage pass to watch Jeff Healey it was like something I'd never seen before. It brought tears to my eyes.

Jeff Healy, may God give you everlasting peace. You filled the world with your beautiful soul & extraordinary musicianship. You are a national treasure for Canada & all people who love music. Thank you for sharing your gift of music, your songs, your voice & incredible guitar playing. Your star shines brightly.

That is such a moving glimpse into Jeff Healey's life it makes me feel such joy but at the end, His guitar falls silent, & my eyes grow damp, so sad, what an amazing person , God rest your gentle soul Jeff , , you will be missed, , ,

Jeff Healey einer der größten Blueskomponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein unglaublich phantastischer Gitarrist

What an increidible talent! And to think I have never heard of him up until a few weeks ago. Wow!

i was shocked when i have heard him first time in my life. it was over 30 years ago and still i love him. one of the most underrated guitarist of all the time.

I was getting concerned, I wanted to hear Jeff do the solos. Not the other guy. Then he does this great toned end solo, that just blows it out. I feel like re-doing my cover of this song.

This song is special to me, and I am a Neil Young fanatic. This is a wonderful cover, the outro solo is just fantastic.

My God what a loss losing Jeff Healey was. The only man that could do justice to this song other than Neil Young himself. He gave us so much great music in the short time we knew him.

Amazing guitarist with a great voice; RIP Jeff Healey, you are missed.

How can 17 people give a thumbs down to this!?! It is absolutely fantastic.

This man was truly amazing. What an artist!

Unfortunately the extraordinarily gifted musicians always seem to leave us too soon. For lots of reasons, but we feel their loss so deep. Lynyrd Skynrd, Michael hutchence from INXS, and all the others. Jeff’s Smokey voice and lyrics were so unique. Sorely missed

He was one of the greats of the Music business;and is missed by all.

Wow! Jeff Healey will ALWAYS be remembered, Great Talent.

how could anyone not like this? Best guitarist I ever saw and I saw him open for SRV.

I am an enormous Neil Young fan since my childhood, but Jeffs version reallly touches me.

Merece la pena ,la vida por ver y conocer gente como él!!Siempre estará ahí!!

This gave me the shivers! Jeff had so much feeling flowing out of his guitar like no other! This is the first time I see this video and Jeff was in his prime. I was lucky to meet Jeff several times in my life. The first time was at a Chicago Dinner on Queen street downtown TO. He walked alone and sat right next to my buddy and me and was feeling the table for an ashtray, so we handed it to him, While we are still freaking from the occasion, Alix Antony came down the stage and asked if Jeff would like to jam. So, Jeff said yes and asked if there is a guitar he can play. I was right next to him and I said right away, Jeff take mine. Jeff went up and did three songs and was later was kind enough to sign my pickguard. What an awesome human being he was. He had a cool sense of humor. RIP Jeff thank you!

I saw Jeff play here in Toronto and was an instant fan. Man he can play that guitar like it was an extension of his body. An awesome talent and truly one of the best guitar players ever, a real Canadian icon and we as Canadians love him and are blessed to have him. When he passed my wife and 2 boys went to the Parklawn Cemetery sought out his resting place and put some flowers by his side. I left him a pic, so he can play on!! Love you buddy Jeff and thank you for just being you!

Jeff Healey... Might not be the most famous but he's the best! Am amazingly talented and beautiful man who triumphed over adversity!

It's over a year ago since Jeff Healey left us and this video is a moving tribute to one of the worlds gifted artists whose life was taken way too soon. RIP Jeff Healey

Another great guitar player who passed away much too soon-

I cant watch this without tears in my eye, it is such a beautiful song & a,perfect tribute, to Jeff, a very , caring, loving gentle soul, & every bit as talented as the best blues guitarist/ singers, BB, Muddy, Hendrix, Vaughn, & Clapton,,& as humble as anybody,,,

He was full of love and as for seeing the light, he was a beacon. An inspiration, a true star. They sometimes fall, this one returned. Love and respect Mr Healy.

like a hurricane...one of the greatest songs of the 70's. this cover rocks!

What a talented musician and a beautiful soul. RIP Jeff. 🕊️

Mr. Jeff has always been in, " GOAT" territory. Listening him play is beyond sublime. Thank you very much for sharing video. If you haven't, check out Mr. Jeff and SRV go off!

I recently learned of the existance of Jeff Healy... too late it seems.. i have been listening to that guy since then.,. he was the greatest guitarist , artist i have ever seen.. Yeah what a loss for this world.. but at least he did what he loved for the time he was on this planet... i hope someday they will give him the tribute he deserves..

Not much I can add to many already on here, I saw Jeff twice with his band outstanding I’m now almost 70 and his music still blows me away much respect Jeff we will always love you RIP Jeff the top of the greats!

I m just tingling all over listening to this, another brilliant cover by J H. he is without a doubt a hurricane, I m always blown away whenever I listen to his music. miss u still, Jeff. rest in peace in the arms of angels. Janis, Singapore

Jeff walked down Minstrel Drive everyday after high school, the street I lived on growing up, to Bonnyview, the street he lived on back then, carrying his guitar with him, every time, cane in the other hand, carefully making his way down the street. I got to see him open a show in Toronto for Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I thought he was in good company opening for those 2 acts, belonging along with them. If you liked good guitar playing you got it that night!

I was lucky to meet Jeff after a concert in Austria in 1995. Wonderful memories ... RIP Jeff, you were one of the greatest!

The guitar was an extension of his soul.Thx for all the great memories Jeff!Rockin' heaven now...

Congratulations Jeff,,!!! thanks to your AMAZING. music and your AMAZING widow Christy Healey ,, you are now on Canadas Walk of Fame,,, RIP Jeff,, you are most certainly missed,,, what a great tribute this video is,,,

WHAT !!! Has happened to the individual Human Spirit , the soul , the Desire in an individual With all faculties seemingly INTACT who stands on the street corner with a sign begging , or the tortured soul shooting heroine in the alley ,and the very young people who kill themselves because they were bullied on social media. And still i watch the Late Jeff Healey and i shake my head and cannot comprehend the endless hours of frustration and practice that gave the world one of the most Prolific Masters of his trade history will ever know. Jeff Healey AND SO MANY like him who Overcame challenges to achieve greatness should have their stories A MANDATORY STUDY in EVERY TAX PAYER funded Learning institution in North America. Stories like these give Hope ...and may indirectly save a life.

All the thumbs down were left by guitarists that couldn't play without their cheat sheet in front of them. RIP Jeff

The fact that he never gets the credit he deserves is disgusting!!!! He's in my top 20 for sure.

seen this dozens of times, still goosebumbs!

Can we trade about 20 singers from today for this dude!

What an amazing cover. Before hearing this I always thought it was a great song by Neil Young. This gives it a new light. Absolutely Wonderful job Jeff.

I stood right beside him at the Red Dog. He was singing off stage between sets, I will always treasure that.

RIP Jeff Healey. Died 8 Years ago today, March 02, 2008, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Born March 25, 1966, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey was a blind Canadian jazz and blues-rock vocalist and guitarist who attained musical and personal popularity, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. He hit Number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Angel Eyes" and reached the Top 10 in Canada with the songs "I Think I Love You Too Much" and "How Long Can a Man Be Strong." I saw and met him on a couple of occasions. One of the Nicest people you could ever wish to meet and a Phenomenal Guitarist. RIP Jeff.

I can't say I'm ashamed. I'd never heard this song before; cried all the way through, mourning this beautiful man. RIP dearest Jeff...

this song played by jeff is so amazing. the video really tugs at your heartstrings knowing he will never be around to do it again

Wow !! What a wonderful version ! I love this song and Jeff plays from the heart Amazing musician , gone too soon

priceless,,, thank you mr healey..... you and SRV join in a jam in heaven......RIP 2 two of the best!

I love this song and I love Neil Young, Healey's fellow Canadian, who wrote it. Amazingly, this version is as good as any I've ever heard by Young himself. Man, they grow some serious musicians up north!

I’ve listened to this countless times……and never ceases to gives me chills…….the good awesome kind!! Soooo fantastically phenomenal talent 🎶🎶🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️

God I miss this man and his music. The only cover I can think of that does justice to my favorite Neil Young song. One of the few that can give Stevie Ray a run for his money. Jeff, may God rest your mighty soul. He gave us a gift of unimaginable value in your music.

Why do we have to lose great singers/musicians such as this with true talent & have to suffer those that can't sing at all, but put on a big flare show to cover up how bad they stink. Jeff you are truly missed.

jeff will be missed mostly by family and friends and like all his fans he will be forever

First time I have heard this version....I am "blown away"! FANTASTIC! Jeff Healey was a true talent that will never be matched.

One of my favorites that Neil wrote....and man, Jeff Healy's style...with how much he shows the music being a part of him, like an extention of his soul. If this doesn't move you, you might want to check your pulse. What an awesome artist. I love the inserted clips of Jeff's free spirit and contagious laugh. We love you Jeff, and you'll always be missed until we see you again, up there.

R.I.P jeff you were the best brilliant musican will never forget you see the light brother.🙌

he may be gone but his music lives forever

Jeffs solo is magic.

When I see a musician and or hear a musician, not getting the response they truly deserve, I have to tell myself,...the song came out before it's time that's all.' He would with no doubt, see a totally different response to his music if he were doing it right now, in this era. People didn't see his talent for what it truly was. Purely from his heart and soul, and...to hear him to sing his ass off with the passion as real as it gets?! I say,''to the kid's of the future, who don't know this music you're really missing out :( Thank God we have You Tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, This Makes Neil Young Most Proud! Felt This To My Bones! Most Awesome!! Thank You, You "The Man" !!!

Jeff was one of the most gifted musicians and I am glad we have these great recordings to enjoy and pass on to the next wave of musicians.

Have listened to Jeff's rendition of this classic a hundred times, and it still blows me away!

Holy...I just listened to this 4 times in a row. Blown away...yeah. This man rocks the house without even thinking about it! I know I'm a nobody but I DO know good music when I hear it. Jeff, you fucking rock, brother.

For My big brother Ike ~ We cruised the country in his Ol Vette t tops out jammin to Jeff Healey. Miss ya Son‼️💙🎸😎

Always loved Jeff and his band. As most of us know ,The Great ones are never here to long. So sad, but like the song says, if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band !! RIP Jeff🙏👍 What incredible man

Преклоняю колено перед этим человеком!Он как и Стив Вондэр не сдался своей болезни и страхам.Джей и Стиви подарили нам очень много и не стоит считать их творчество как наживу,их творчество надо считать как наследие!!! Спасибо тем, кто несёт творчество,а за свой труд не требуют ничего!

The brightest candles burn too quickly!!! But what a light they give!! Thank You Jeff!

I'm glad to see all the nice comments. Jeff was really great, and I would have loved to see him play live.

JEFF WAS A GREAT TALENT, BEING BLIND, THE WAY HE PLAYED THAT GUITAR WAS AUSUM. GOD BLESS YA JEFF.

RIP Jeff. Thank you for the musical and personal inspiration. Watching these videos and hearing his iconic style reminds me of treasured memories listening with my dad. I'm grateful to be able to continue the tradition with my kids.

When it comes to the Blues. There are many kings. But Jeff Healey was the man all alone living out the Blues. If they said I could only pick one blues guitarist I would definitely pick Jeff and I challenge anybody to duplicate his sound or his style you can't

before being one of the most brillant guitarists of modern age he was a BIG man, a real guitar hero

Jeff is sooo very talented! I got to see him live,in Little Rock,Arkansas,ar Bartin Collision!!! IF I remember correctly, he opened for Joan Jett,it was an AWESOME SHOW! And he was also AWESOME in the "Roadhouse" movie! I was soooo very glad to get to see him! Keep on rockin' Jeff!😍😎😊✌💕😁

There is not a guitarist on the planet that can bend a string like Jeff :)

The smile on his face makes my day! And the music :)

only just discovered Jeff Healey today. What a day.
