Eric Clapton - No Alibis (Argentina 1990)

Estadio River Plate (5.10.1990)

[@caleshtcincredibles]

Eric's playing and music is simply timeless , sounds great then, now and always. Not only is he a legendary guitar player , he has a great voice too !

[@samgreen3818]

By far the coolest Clapton period

[@vickimingus9281]

I loved cream but it was before I knew his work

[@5150show]

Yep

[@allanwagner4570]

Absolutely love this song Eric Clapton Or Clapton for those in the know is simply the best artist on the planet END OF STORY

[@edwardprete]

Anyone who underestimates Eric as a guitar player just needs to watch from 4:55 to 6:20, and then rethink their opinions. He plays with such conviction and purpose, putting his heart and soul into every note.

[@vincealbertmusic]

Especially that lick at 5:28

[@joe22589]

And if you listen to 2:32, 2:41, 2:51 and 5:40 you can hear some wrong notes that should never happen on this kind of professional level.

[@mattbillington7511]

@@joe22589 the sloppy parts that he didn't mean to do are what make it cool, he more than makes up for it with that part around 5:30

Estuve esa noche, soñada para mi desde mi tierna adolescencia. El Estadio está emplazado cerca del Río de la Plata, conociendo el clima de Buenos Aires yo vestía jeans, remera, más campera de Jean y una larga bufanda. Octubre es primavera, tarde hermosa para ingresar a River, comenzó a bajar el sol, una fina llovizna arreció, mis dos amigas empezaron a temblar de frío y yo, previsora, les di mi bufanda y arrenglénse chicas, se rieron de mi por los recaudos? ahora sólo Él me importa 😂. Mirta QEPD, hoy no te tengo para decirte Va? y vos me contestes Mos ¿a dónde!? ❤

WHAT? I hear Eric singing. He doesn't do Lay Down Sally anymore either. You think because he can't sing it? He really doesn't like singing a lot of his pops songs anymore and kind of concentrates on doing the blues. Also it is DARYL as in Daryl Hall no e it.

[@stevebeck3164]

He played some absolutely iconic lead lines on the studio track that is disappointing not hearing any, as well as several sloppy riffs in this performance. This is not his norm. Every artist is human and will have a few clunker notes, but unfortunately, this one had too many.

[@modernretroradio993]

Not his best "No alibis" solo... oh, well. Happens to the best of 'em. It sounds like the guitar was a bit out of tune.

[@carolynwilson2206]

Sounds great to me. I'm no expert.

[@joe22589]

Between 2:40 - 2:55 two real mistakes during the solo, the same at 5:40. Not his best performance, although I loved this tight band and sound

[@SoWhat.BigDeal.]

True, he is uncharacteristically sloppy there, but I loved this performance because of the go-for-it attack that led to that trouble. If I may, I recognize when you get to the perfect number of drinks and you feel like a million bucks and you can just let loose. I enjoyed seeing what EC played from out there. Of course, if he was already sober then I'm an idiot. 😁
