I just watched a documentary about Jeff Healey's Blues Club in Canada. I had no idea that he had a club.  That he was successful at it and had to move from his initial club to a larger one. That new club hosted a lot of great musicians. It also gave Healey a chance to kind of road test new material before taking it on the road or recording it. The documentary taught me a little about the full on hometown pride that Canadians had in Jeff Healey. Quite a few call him Canada's Answer To Stevie Ray Vaughan. I myself am still pondering that comparison. I am a big fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, I also really like Jeff Healey's music. My only problem with Jeff Healey was like Robert Cray, their albums seemed a little over produced, too polished maybe. In comparison both sound a little too clean next to Stevie's studio output. Now I have attended quite a few shows and own a lot of bootlegs...both Jeff Healey and Robert Cray have all the grit and fire in a live situation (I really feel that so no hate please)!

I was a little surprised that Jeff Healey played The Ritz In Roseville. It's actually been a Heavy Metal Club since I can remember. Not just any Metal Club but Thee Hair Metal Club. During this time my Thrash/Speed Metal band, Psychosis could not play at The Ritz. We were banned by The Ritz before we played there. We were banned from Harpo's Cocert Theater for playing Thrash/Speed Metal on "Heavy Metal Nite At Harpo's". It was Heavy Metal Day so we were playing some of our heaviest stuff and 3 songs in they pulled the plug yelling "Who do you think you are!?!? The F4#king Sex Pistols?!? Get Off The Stage Now!! Take It Back To Blondies Where you belong!!!" The guy's hand was huge and it freakin' hurt as he physically pulled me from the stage. They had to pay us since they broke contract...then we left. Next day we bought a big red ink pad and 2 custom made stamps. One said "BANNED FROM HARPO'S!!" the other said "TOO HEAVY FOR HARPO"S!!". We stamped all our flyers with it. This was great publicity. We sold out a Monday at Blondies. After that we got all the Saturday Nights we would play...sorry got a little off track enjoy the Jeff Healey Band at The Ritz (Hair Metal Bar LOL).

justdave's notes:
I compiled this from different bootlegs in my collection. Quite a few bands have covered Jimi Hendix songs over the years. My choices are not meant to represent the best of these cover versions just ones that I like. The surprises out of the recordings showcased here would have to be Concrete Blonde's version of "Castles Made Of Sand" or Earth, Wind & Fire's cover of "Machine Gun". Some sources were lossy and some were not so I encoded everything to MP3 320kbps. All recordings were of soundboard quality (ie Pre-FM, FM & Soundboard). I tried to adjust the volume of the tracks so they were more uniform using Goldwave.

Hope you enjoy it, I have a couple similar projects in the works.

Great show from early in The Jeff Healey Band's career. Lots of cool covers in this set. Bob Dylan, Cream, The Doors, Blind Faith, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Leadbelly and John Hiatt are all covered for this concert. While John Hiatt's "Confidence Man" and ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues" were both on Jeff's debut album, and The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" was on the Roadhouse Soundtrack, I don't think he ever recorded the rest of the songs covered here.

Jeff Healey was only a year old when illness caused his eyes to be removed. He began playing guitar at the age of three, developing early his trademark style of laying the guitar in his lap. He formed his first band at 15. Jeff's career took off in 1988 when he released the very successful See The Light album. It spawned two singles, "Angel Eyes" and the Grammy nominated "Hideaway". In 1988 Jeff was also tapped to record the soundtrack to the Patrick Swayze movie Roadhouse. The Jeff Healey Band was included in many bar scenes and Jeff had some speaking parts as well. Jeff passed away at the age of 41, from cancer, he been plagued with the disease most of his life.
