One of my favorites!! Who's with me in 2019? Still here in 2021 and 2022...I guess I'm gonna be here forever
Billy DeLuca ...Daryl Hall sounds fab !
@@barbarafearn yes he does!!
Me November 2019
Back again December 2019 ❣️
Amazing
One of my all time favs. I crank it up on 4 speakers, in my old barn. The window panes rattle and the coyotes howl. Long live Clapton!
What an atmosphere u have created over the the half of century ❤
Sounds like my barn😊
The PURE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS MASTERPIECE. EXPOLDES THROUGH HIS GUITAR 🎸!! TO ME HIS SIGNURE MASTERPIECE OF ALL TIME, AND POSSIBLY THE MOST UNDERRATED SONGS OF HIS CAREER ❤!!!!( PERIOD)!!!!
The definition, of a criminally underrated song.🕵
That's an understatement. Might be Clapton's best solo song!
Great song but I looked up criminally underrated in Websters and didn’t see this one mentioned? Perhaps I am looking at a different edition?
All of Clapton's 80's music is underrated.
Never underrated... one of Eric's greatest songs . But there're so many !!!!
I loved this Clapton 80’s era some of his best writing singing & playing . Big drums , great solo’s & stellar band . Great memories . Behind the Sun. August. Journeyman. All good .
One of my all time favorite Clapton songs. And Daryl Hall’s vocals were perfect for this. Makes me wonder what an entire “Hall & Clapton” album would’ve sounded like.
And Chaka Kahn on backgrounds
And Phil on drums 🥁
Daryl needs to do a daryls house episode with clapton. 2 hours minimum
Aaron Neville too!
Didn't know that. Wow! No wonder it sounds so good!
Listen to the way he rings the notes! Thats a God given talent. Gets every last breath out of them. May not be the flashiest, or the heaviest, but has all the soul.
And also stops them short at just the exact right time. Amazing, still trying to find the isolated guitar for this song.
@@stefymarty Nice observation.
That's called "Musicianship". He's earned his Doctorate.
It wasn't until today that i really took notice of how the song starts.
He is average at best.
Still here in 2022! Thank you Mr. Clapton 👏👏👏👏👏👏
O3.2O23
This song proves one thing- Eric Clapton is one of the best ever.
Absolutely
Yes he is !!!!!!!!!!
Eric Clapton was declared a god.
eric clapton is the shit
Grande Mano Lenta
My dad always used to listen to this and I never knew the name and I heard it on the radio at work yesterday. I just spent 2 hours searching for this song.
So glad you were able to find it, I'm sure it brings back alot of memories 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵
The man is a guitar genius.
Look at the album cover. Can you imagine what those eyes have seen? Solum. Regret. Angst. Yet he lives to fight another day. If a man could ever be broken, it was he. But a Phoenix rises from the ashes. Love that guy. One of a kind. The talent is undeniable, but the man underneath is what makes Eric.......Eric.
@Chris, your comment made my day. Well put together. Bravo !
and the most heartbreaking part is that they still had to see the worst that can ever happen in a parent life
And he’s a nice man, too
One of my favorite Clapton tunes. Pure talent!
Eric Clapton is one of the very best artists ever , He was with The Cream , The Yardbirds , Derek and The Dominoes and Blind Faith , It's unreal how many songs he has done in his career , Amazing
Also John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and The Plastic Ono Band
❤❤❤❤I named son Eric after him
Goosebumps and watery eyes. Its hard to pick a favorite until you hear the soul in his voice behind that guitar. Love it!
This is such an essential Clapton song for me. It just rolls like a smooth whiskey or the big muddy. :)
One of the most underrated tunes from Clapton. Guitar work and lyrics is incredible! Clapton is a fucking musical genius!
Michael Flynn That's right! Make me want to party all night long!
my thought exactly
Absolutely underated ! Awesome song !
Agree with every word! One of my 3 Clapton favorites.
So so good - and one of the best driving songs ever.
Journeyman and August are, IMO, the best Clapton has ever done. For context, I started playing drums when Cream was new. I've heard it all, but this is the finest. Searing melodies, meaningful lyrics from a lifetime of experiences.
Well put. Both albums are so cleanly cut and refined
Also SLOWHAND !
one of the greatest clapton songs no one talks about. just listen to the words on top of the awesome guitar riffs. great song
If you look back from the 60's, he's got a bunch of good songs for every decade till this day. Isn't it wonderful
I thought about this fact like 10 years ago. He has had an incredible career. 5 freaking decades.
Clapton is what music is about. One of the greatest in my opinion.
He was running on all 8 cylinders on this track for sure!!! One of his best efforts if not the best!!
Hate to break it to you but the only song Eric wrote on this album was Old Love which he co-wrote with Robert Cray.
So what if he didn't write it? It's his now. Cash didn't write Hurt or Sunday Morning.. Blackmore didnt write Since you been oh why bother you get it or don't. I do
Oh and I loved this girl too many times

@@thomassblaquelourde5930 Not sure what the comment you posted was all about? I was simply stating that I liked the song and how he sings and plays it ! So calm down man .
No better phrase fits this man. Eric Clapton is A ROCK GOD!! Has always been in my book!!
I’ve probably listened to this a million times today. I plan to do it tomorrow too. 😂😂 I love this song!!
Chaka Khan and Daryl Hall on backing vocals and Eric on lead? Wow !!
and then Daryl's like damn um I got rich making prom music.... while Eric rips the devil's skin off via Les Paul
@@claytontaylor9914 never knew hall was on backing vocals
I have to admit this is my favorite Clapton album every song to me is a gem!
I've got every album he ever performed on, including other artists with him as a guest, and this is by far the greatest album he ever made. Instead of Journeyman it should have been called The Master.
My Dad and I rarely agreed about music when I was younger but we both loved listening to this CD on family trips.
Justin Smit Great memory. Thanks for sharing.
I find myself listening to those songs my dad played on road trips (that drove me nuts) more and more these days. Music is such an amazing thing.
Same Bro
Same Bro
That guitar tone is taking me into 2021
Love the guitar work...soulful!!!...and Darrell Hall's backing vocals raise this song to a new level
Fine vocals, supreme instrumentation. Clean and precise. Definitely God given.
Justin Shields I agree totally... Very well said.
I can't decide if Eric is a better singer or guitar picker, certainly underrated as a vocalist!
It’s called practice.
No. It’s called years and years of honing, practicing, and hard work at his craft. What God gave him was the ability, Clapton had to work at it.
Great vocals
Thank you for everything, Mr. Clapton! You are truly God on the Guitar 🎸!
The best riffs and his best vocals with Darryl’s harmonizing!
IMO this is the absolute best of Clapton. Heartfelt blues and mighty fine guitar work.
Such a great underrated talent! One of absolute favourites of days gone by....
Love this song
A fabulous track from The legend and gets nowhere near as much recognition as it should
One of his greatest latter day songs in my opinion. I'm always amazed at how overlooked this gets. Even by Clapton's own people! You'll see songs from this time period like "Pretending", "She's Waiting", "Bad Love", and "It's In the Way That You Use It" make their way onto Greatest Hits/Anthology compilations but rarely "No Alibis". never understood that. The guitar riffing alone makes it worthy of entry!
Erik Westervelt All clearly true. A great song. A great era.
@102332179042758893078 This is the song that I'd have wanted to see in his later day live performances. As well as Bad Love. They both have that amazingly sweet 90s rock sound.
Erik Westervelt I like it even the 24 nights version is really good
+Erik Westervelt agree 100% excellent guitar work in this song by the guitar god. I've never understood why this one is underrated.
Agreed...the song 'Anything for your Love', another great tune from Journeyman, all but forgotten.
So true Erik my blues brother. ..I was so fortunate to see him during this album tour...along with his previous body of work...A'freakin' mazzing show.....in my Top2...hehe...old dudes rule...long live Slowhand...🎸🎶🎼🎵🎤🎹🎷🎺🎸
IMO one of the best of Clapton. This song just talks to me.
💯. Lyrics and his riffs soulful voice=winner
Eric tears it up on this guitar solo! One of my favorites from him!
Eric Clapton Has And Always Be The Best!!!
One of the best songs by Clapton. All of his music is good. Just something about this song that gets me going. When I'm listening to it so is everybody around me from cranked all the way up.
This song is one of my dad's favorites! I recently lost him and i have been listening to this song a lot.
Finally found this song as it came on Classic Rewind as I could never figure out the song name when I first heard it years ago. Now that its 2023, its still an awesome song!
Love No Alibis. I was working at a radio station when this came out, we played the hell out of it! Clapton just gets better and better! Thank you sir!
It wasn’t WZZO was it. They played this song twice and hour when I was in college, early 90’s
I used to hear all the hype about Eric Clapton and I never fully got it. Then I heard this song. I get it now. Amazing song.
This is one of the few times HE turns it loose. Like "Layla" & "Crossroads" from the Cream days.
Listen to anything from between 1964 and 1970 (the "pre-solo" years) - Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos. Blows most of his later solo work out of the water.
Jimmy Calhoun it's all a matter of opinion.
Clapton is not a musician. He is an artist.....
Amazing man
This one is one of my all-time favourites!
My fave Clapton tone ever.
Like the finest of red wines; through the years, Eric's "magic" just gets more elegant and sweet ...
An absolute master piece.
2024 rolling with Eric still ❤
Always loved this song. Something about the lead guitar fills in the chorus is magical perfection. I really need to sit down and learn to play it. I was sad to see a video of a live performance and he left all the fills out. I dont know why, they really make the song.
Another STELLAR song off one of Clapton's FINEST albums. I've ALWAYS loved Daryl Hall's contribution to this song! Eric's licks are SO tight!
Clapton’s most underrated song right here. Beautiful jazz/guitar
Entire album is legendary. He just makes u wanna belt it out and play air guitar.
A groove so deep that it could swallow Everest. Some of Mr. Clapton's most powerfully beautiful playing. That, boys and girls, is how it's done. And the "calling you out" lyric content? Withering.
So totally agree. Being a lifetime fan totally loved the fury ,clarity and speed of his Cream days but this work is on a totally higher even inspired level of beauty.
@@lifetimes2983 Yep, the evolution of genius is a beautiful thing to hear. With that tone, how many Strats did this guy help Fender sell?
songs like this is what classic rock great...u rarely hear it on the radio...but the u find it on TH-cam or whatever and remember hearing it once before but not able to remember the name...and it turns into one of ur favs
This is Clapton's smoothest jam. This track belongs on regular rotation on Yacht Rock Radio
Great guitar work, mature in lyrics rhythm, so sincere from life experiences
One of his best opportunities to solo and draw on the magic within, his tone on this is just fantastic..! Sometimes you just need the right song to reach deep down and bring out what's really inside..!
80s Clapton is the best...
None of the comments talk about how real these lyrics are when someone's hurt you. This one really bangs
This is one of my favorite albums by the master himself. Love it
Thank you for the great music EC, October 2019 😘
still here in 2020 ❤️
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
My favorite Clapton song.
This is one of my favorite two songs by Eric -- the other being "Lonely Stranger." Few artists are in his guitar-playing league!
Eric Clapton is a timeless artist!! Poetry in motion is 🎶!!!!!!
+Shanda Bauguess That's why he's called Slow Hand. His touch is so deft and smooth he slows down time.
+Steven Carinci FYI two attributed reasons why he's called Slowhand
1 the speed of the playing
2 when he broke guitar strings during live performances the audience used to do a slow hand clap whilst he fitted the new string on stage
+Claire Williamson Speed meaning fast or slow?
+Steven Carinci sorry Steven I meant #fast# - I think the term is used ironically :-)
+Shanda Bauguess I think that is why they call him slowhand. He seems to slow down time.
I love this song so much so that it’s regular in my car. That Fender Strat sound is magical. Sublime!
Thank you for everything sir!
one of the greats of my time..
most definitely my favorite eric clapton song.
Actually one of my fav Clapton songs
N1 of all time. The best guitar and vocal performance.
He was so good. What a moment....
+Pavlo Sheiko was ????
+Neet Violi Yea... Time waits for noone. We know he is alive))) Long live the king! 1989, my youth))))
this is one of the greatest songs and listen to the music the way he plays a guitar
No one can reach in and grab my soul like clapton
An amazing work by Slowhand here. The sloooooower tempo the band maintains with such discipline really allows beautiful space for the driving chord changes to shine. Everyone knows Clapton could of shredded on this tune but instead he went for deep soul, and precision. Touch, expression , killer vibrato and tone. Its all there. Frickin Amazing, Just a great piece of work. One of his best and yeah totally agree Unrecognized
Eric Clapton- One of Rocks all time greateat.He was great in concert
My favorite song from Journeyman & one of my favorite Clapton songs period. Happy 70th birthday Slowhand!
I was driving home from a long business trip and had this song CRANKED. At some point I glanced down and SMOKE was coming out of the steering wheel. The wiring for the radio controls on the wheel shorted. Pontiac did a recall on this, but I swear it was Eric's playing. 😁 True story.
It's as if he wrote this song for Daryl as well as for himself. Daryl's backup is perfect!
Daryl co wrote Alibis.
My favorite Clapton tune, right there with Layla. Fire up that Stratocaster and let it Rip.
This ,father's eyes, pretending and it's in the way that you use is make up some of my favs.
Love Love Eric
Darryl Hall on backup vocals makes it even better.
Sure does . Pro Guitar and Pro Singer....
+DaDaDaDan Oates was at the recording studio too. Tickling Eric and Darryl's balls, making tea and cookies for the crew
I always wonder if it was Darryl , Cool that it is
+Rickberg1966 very cool indeed.
DaDaDaDan absolutely..love when everyone is recognized..best song too focus on
Outstanding tune
One of EC's best works
Eric Clapton has always been one of my favorites.
Love this.....so good all the way through
Eric Clapton was good in the 80s👍
Here I am in 2022 and I don't think I've heard this song since it played on the radio over 30 years ago. I almost forgot about it. I listen to Pretending and Bad Love all the time. All the memories just came flooding back. What an awesome song!
Didn't have to listen to Clapton to know what the hype was, his excellence bleeds thru all music
Amazing song!!
The great Eric Clapton
Eliazar Ramirez always...
Eliazar Ramirez definately!!!
Great track by slowhand
Clapton is still great guitar-player and singer for me.
Love the intro 👍
This is an absolutely great song that alot of people can relate to at some point in their life. This song really lifts me up and when i need a slight attitude adjustment, this is one of the songs. Oh my God, Darryl Hall, just a great voice and a great compliment the two give each other. wish there were more songs with the two of them. Maybe Eric should go to "Darryls House"
Darryl on this tune?????Never knew......def Darryls house, my favorite!
From one of my favourite albums ,class
Always perfect Blues Phrasing. Amazing.
yes he is the best guitarist ever and a great artist
