Jeff Healey’s very sightlessness — he lost his eyes to a rare cancer of the eyes at age one — helped him settle into his own unique sound in blues music. Healey eventually taught himself to play the electric guitar on his lap, like a dobro, something that allowed him to unfurl these distinctively long lines. Yet, in many ways, Jeff Healey was never able to make good on his own dizzying promise, first because an out-of-nowhere radio hit seemed to steer Healey into more pop-influenced environs, then by a left turn into jazz, then by his own losing battle with cancer. LIVE IN BELGIUM — a straight-blues release, put to tape when the Canadian guitarist was at the peak of his powers — gives Healey a retroactive chance to get back on track. Dubbed by Healey’s drummer, Tom Stephen, as being one of the greatest performances by the Jeff Healey Band, the tape (both video and audio) of the memorable show was found and restored. The result is this two disc DVD/CD set of the show that is sure to please old and new fans alike. According to Stephen, may be the only concert caught on tape that shows Healey performing with a guitar rig that allowed him to stand up while he played and sang. Another rare feature on this film is the addition of keyboardist, the late Washington Savage and vocalists Mischke Butler and Toucu, effectively doubling the size of the Jeff Healey Band. Appearing with longtime bassist Joe Rockman and drummer Tom Stephen, this July 1993 date is one of the only onces recorded with an expanded version of the Jeff Healey Band that featured keyboardist surrounding the proceedings a deeper, more complex atmosphere. There are also additional vocals from a pair of backup singers, another rarity. Together, they give the familiar “Angel Eyes, Healey’s 1988 blessing/curse No. 5 hit, a good scuffing up. Brand new tracks like “It Could All Get Blown Away” — then just out on 1992’s Feel This — take on a deeper gospel inflection. In fact, the songs from Feel This (which take up six spots in this 13-song set) are perhaps best served by the raw redrawings here, since that album suffered at the time because of its slick, more direct appeal for radio play. Back then, Feel This felt like Healey’s music with all of its edges filed away. But the same songs take on new life during LIVE IN BELGIUM, which opens with “Baby’s Lookin’ Hot,” and eventually features “The House That Love Built,” “Evil And Here To Stay,” “Lost In Your Eyes,” “Heart Of An Angel,” and “Blown Away.” LIVE IN BELGIUM also includes “Confidence Man,” which like “Angel Eyes” was composed by John Haitt. Both of those tracks appeared on 1988’s breakout smash See The Light, as did the title track and Jeff Healey’s “That’s What They Say.” The original “Full Circle” and Healey’s devastatingly emotional cover of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” first appeared on 1990’s Hell To Pay, which featured the former Beatle in a guest turn. The Jeff Healey Band rumbles through the Doors’ “Roadhouse Blues” too, digging deeper into that song’s nervy blues core. Of course, by the dawn of the next decade, Healey began to focus more on jazz, even appearing on stage (gasp!) playing — and by 2008, he had succumbed to cancer — just weeks before releasing his first blues project in eight years. So LIVE IN BELGIUM represents, in more ways that one, an important moment — for both Jeff Healey and for his lost blues promise. You get a sense all over again of just what made him special … and what he might have become, had the fates allowed it.
