A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
It was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage and first came to major theatres when it debuted on Broadway in October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York.
Less than 12 months after the Broadway show opened, the rock spectacle went to London, exploding onto the West End at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 in a hugely successful production. By 1980, after 3,358 performances, Jesus Christ Superstar had become the longest running musical in West End history at the time and grossed $12.3 million.
In all, Jesus Christ Superstar has grossed over $205 million and has been professionally produced in 42 countries around the world! - Hudba
did he cry? my god. that was so good.
Oh my....................... I'm speechless! The emotion he put into that! This is the performance that made Andrew Lloyd webber cry and it made me cry too!
For me, I think that this is Steve's best performance of Gethsemane I've seen.
04:37 - "Then...I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired." So committed to the message in the song and the character that he's moved to tears. Awesome performance.
I love this so much, Steve must have steel lungs.. have any of you tried to sing this..... I did and nearly needed a paramedic. : /
I think Ted Neely would be very proud of this man. I haven't heard such spirit in this song since Ted.
most kindred eyes among the JCs i've ever seen... highly convincing with that look upon his eyes..
Woah, those tears and expression....Phenomenal performance!
I grew up with Ted's version, but this is simply stunning.
I cannot breathe when I watch this, it affects me that much. What a voice!
Steve was great! And I'm a Ted Neeley superstar fan, so that means a lot coming from me. His acting was superb. There were a couple places I was looking for Neeley's high notes, but I have to say, I was drawn in and he was believable. I'm impressed!
I have to get my fix of this every few months or so, brilliant performance
The absolute best version of this song I've ever heard. My dream is to stage JCS someday...and I would dream of a voice like this to star.
The 1996 CD version is all you'll get of Steve and Zubin Varla as Judas. Two great voices.
Insane...simply astonishing.
I think this is the best version I've heard!
what a great artist!! BEST PERFORMANCE OF GETHSEMANE EVER SEEN !!!
OH WOW!!!! this performance is historical
Although I am familiar with Jesus Christ Superstar, I had not known who Mr. Balsamo was until I was introduced to him through Eric Woolfson's musical "Poe". He was brilliant in that, and he is just as brilliant, if not more, in this performance of Gethsemane. Chills throughout, and he kept my attention fully. Great job, incredible performance!
Ted nails the 'why' part, whereas Steve just crushes the 'watch me die' part with a vengeance. God has a lot of questions to answer
i tried singing along, i died the 3 minute mark on that CRAZY high pitched bit :') incredible performance by mr balsamo :D
by far the best version i have heard, incredible!
Fantastic! I've never seen Steve before and having seen, heard, and adored Ted Neeley's performance...this is easily as good. Until I saw Ted Neeley I'd never heard anyone sing such strangled yet perfect high notes. I wouldn't have imagined that anyone else could do it - and here it is. I'm amazed. Superstar! Acting superlative too - see his tears! That's genuinely emotional singing.
Unfortunately there isn't any rest of it! Gethsemane is all you will see of Steve Balsamo singing from JCS. When the show was filmed in 2000, they used his understudy Glen Carter instead! Such a bad, bad choice. I saw the full show live with Steve in it. It was perfection IMO. A classic performance and production, never been bettered before or since and it wasn't recorded. Shame on you RUG! What I wouldn't give to have a DVD of Steve Balsamo in the 1996/97 Lyceum Production.
I think the Neeley and Balsamo debaters should realise that they are two different voices for two different genres. The old JCS had a classic rock style, for which Neeley was perfect. He had the edgy, frail, broken voice, perfect for that music style. Balsamo is also good, and whilst his voice is purer, his voice would not have fit with the old JCS. JCS has changed into the now favoured 'show' style, for which Balsamo is entirely appropriate for. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
Hauntingly beautiful
Chills. So many chills
Awesome!!!! Words cannot define my love for this performance!
Best performance ever!
You can't judge steve unless you saw him perform in 1996 he is was and always will be the best passion vulnerability and soooo hot, the best voice take a look at his latest stuff and maybe you will get the measure of the man
Нереально. Одно из лучших исполнений. Респект
One of the greatest performances of this epic song of self-lament. He ranks up there with Ian Gillan.

wow
Wow, this was an amazing performance! Just look how much feeling he puts into this and that voice! :D
Perfekcyjne wykonanie, zarówno pod względem warunków głosowych jak i talentu aktorskiego. Samotność... smutek... cierpienie...Brak oznaków irytacji, która jest wyczuwalna w innych wykonaniach. Najlepsze odtworzenie roli Chrystusa w rock-operze przez Steve'a Balsamo. Bardzo bym chciała zobaczyć i wysłuchać cały spektakl.
unbelievable! i was just about to say that! incredible! the feelings are there!!!!
This is just amazing, beautiful.
That was so beautiful and emotional. What talent!
Cryed through the hole thing so touching i love you steve
Amazing. I nave to say I prefer a little more Ted Neeley's falsetto, it is more incisive and rocky, but I do LOVE Steve's chest voice, and that emotion... just WOW.
I have goosebumps. Is that sweat, or is he actually crying? Either way, very moving! One of the best I've seen!
Best performance EVER!!!! Neeley just sang it...He FELT it!!!!!Well done!!!!
Excellent , what a great voice !!!
Can't wait to do this for a concert in November :) It's at moments like this I'm proud to be Welsh and to actually know and worked with this man's brother :D
담아갑니다!
Sorry for my english:
Perfect performance, both in terms of vocal and acting. Loneliness ... fear ... suffering ... Zero irritation that is felt, not like Jesus, in other embodiments. The best and truest realization of Christ's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Big round of applause!
Holy moley. Amazing
thank You for emotions!!!!
Wow! You are fantastic! Loved this!
I saw him in 1997 and also Ben at the O2 in 2012-loved them both but gotta say that the Arena Tour was spectacular-especially as I was near the stage-fab sound-Ben was brilliant-I have all DVDs of JC SS and Tim and Ben were superb. The weakest Mary has to be Mel C. Could have toured the country seeing the show again and again-awesome.
Awesome performance vocally one of my favorites :)
Just saw this tonight in Cardiff on the arena tour, and Ben Forster's performance of the song was utterly breath-taking. Amazing.
This is amazing! Gives me such goosebumps!! >w
best performance ever!
I saw Steve in JCS when I was 6, even tho I was young I can remember flashes of it.Tho the UK just had a Tour I would loove if it came back to the WE as a show
The hairs on my neck kept standing on end for ages now I can't get it out of my head. Couldn't have put it better than you
AMEN!!
amazing simply
Лучший исполнитель!Браво!
simply the best
Amazing
Wow...! That's simply..., great...!
Honestly speaking..., I think that, If the most popular collective imaginary buddy in all the whole wide world had so just..., so just a very little of enjoyable voice..., and he could sing well..., then..., and just then..., he could performing this very beautiful song with a such magistrality..., as eximiously perfect..., as the shown by this very..., very really talented Italian-American boy... Great...!
Amazing....
outstanding...
lindo...con su voz majestuosa...!!
Eso es intensidad, mis respetos...
It's tears:')
I love Ted's voice, saw him do it live, but this... wow... this was 99.5% as good. In some ways it was better, because he wasn't afraid to make it his own, but Neely just seemed made for this part.
Wow, that voice! :D
I weep for you.
Wow wow wow wat mooi
Man im not religious at all, but I love the style of music here. The original was brilliant. This dudes freaken good too :D ... ah music..
Actually both eyes had tears
Sorry...this guy is really good, but Ted's voice is freakin' amazing. Ted captures the 70's rock diva sound that's synonymous with JC superstar.
WOW
There isn't a rest of it. This is from a musical show where he sang only two songs. This and Immortal from Poe (well worth seeing too) The fantastic and fabulous and the Best ever JCS production that Steve Balsamo starred in was never recorded. BIG MISTAKE, HUGE!
i totally agree with you
Totally agree!
Great ! Amazing !
I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE ......
tasteless? pssht look at that emotion! its the best one ive gethsemane i've heard so far. absolutely amazing!!!!! I'd love to hear a steve jesus and tim minchin judas lol :D
Dos más el argentino Gerónimo Rauch y el austriaco Steve Seale! dos grandes voces reconocidas internacionalmente, escuchálos!
I beg to differ. Seeing as how so many people do praise Neeley, maybe there's something to it? Steve Balsamo has one of the most beautiful and well trained voices I've ever heard, but his version just doesn't move me the way Neeley's does. Neeley combines frailty, honesty, and power in a way no one else does. At least that's how I feel.
It would be beautiful :)
é l'interpretazione più bella che abbia mai visto! Fenomeno!
Ther absolute best. I wish his music was available more here in the states or he would "C'mon over here". I just don't think he's interested in the US.
listen up all.. balsamo is the best jesus you will ever see in your lifetime...
Ah, finally an undistorted version of this performance. Can we hope for Poe track as well from this concert?
only steve balsamo can sing this AND NO ONE ELSE!!!!!
sorry but I never heard this song till today and I heard several versions mentioned in these comments since, this version is so much more superior than any others.
Now see this on CZcams: " Balsamo Deighton - I Don't Know Why "
This is very good. I still pick Ted Neeley as my favorite. This guy is amazing, however!
and god gave steve his voice just for this role :D , no one does it as well!!
Same here
its not how it was based, but how it sounds, I really prefer rock style but this one was excellent, what Ted did was kind of a powerfull head voice or mix voice, balsamo´s falsetto its way better, he change tones while doin it, not only a dry scream, and come on, youre saying balsamo didnt had that emotion, how often have you seen the original, its the same face all the time
here here belissimo!!!!!
2 people hit the dislike button...they probably misunderstood it for the download one
