Well, I'm 62 but I remember seeing Jesus Christ Superstar at the Palace theater in New York when I was 11. It mesmerized me. I just discovered this randomly. A real treat.
Ian Gillan and Murrey Head will always be my favorite interpretations; however, this arrangement is so original and refreshingly rocky/funky, I just fell in love with it. Bravo David!
Sorry dude they do not have the passion and edge that this crew have in their performances
For me too, though this is my first time hearing this version .I'm open but it's hard to think I'll change my opinion after 50 years.
This is my favourite musical arrangement of the show. It put the ROCK in "rock opera" - which the various West End and Broadway versions, as great as they may be in other ways, lacked.
You are absolutely right !!!!!!!
I grew up with this one, saw the concert live and listened to the CD hundreds of times. It's the best musical arrangement of the stage show ever.
Guyz, do you know if the instrumental version exist? Thanks!
Saw this live in 1992 - absolutely fantastic with a first rate cast - best singers in the country at the time! ❤
BEST VERSION ever! 20 years plus later it still stands up against the original!
+czahnie I agree - this is my teenage high school version - we loved it in my catholic school!
Not against the original tracks that featured Yvonne Elliman. No way for my ears!!
@@toothbrush5190 And Pilate from the original movie is just the best. Btw, this album doesn't have the song "Pilate and Christ". And this Herod's song... 😐
I was lucky enough to see this production twice. It was absolutely AMAZING!!
Me also twice in melboune, wow it was brilliant
me too!!
I saw this with my mum in Sydney, she passed away short time after. Its was amazing its something that will live with me forever.
I'm sorry for your loss.
That music make my spine tingle
This version is superb in all aspects !!!! Thanks !!!!!
I hate musicals but David Hirshfelder and John Farnham are too good a combination to miss!! Brilliant!👌🏻😀
I saw this live at Sydney Entertainment Centre, one of the best live shows I've ever seen and I still love the album, thanks for sharing and happy Easter. :-)
what amazed me when i saw this show was the energy and adrenaline shown by the performers when it had finished, it has stuck in my mind 30 years later!
L meilleure vrsion est celle avec ian gillan et Murray head 1972 voire 70.
Let it bleed...
Angry Anderson as Herod....just awesome,
I love this whole 1992 cast, but this is why I must have this version!
Thank you. Sincerely. For sharing this.
Never heard this version before. Not bad. Not bad at all.
My aunt sang in the chorus of this production :D
What production is she working on now?
@@eprimeify2090 none, I'm afraid, she hasn't done theatre since
The greatest ever singer to ever play the part of Judas Iscariot in the Jesus Christ Superstar role was Jon English. Nobody can ever come close to him in both voice and looks. John Stevens was great, but Jon English the greatest with the best vocal range of anyone to ever play that role.
Murray Head is the best Judas in my opinion. But this man is great as well.
best EVER Innovative exciting contemporary masterfully done
MIL GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got to say, this is a great production and well worth the listen. 99% of the vocal performances were outstanding! I think the only ones that had any issue at all was that David Gould (Caiaphas) tended to be a little pitchy, and one of the priests sounded like he would break into a verse of "Officer Krupke" at any second.
Kate Ceberano (Mary) was a true pleasure and is as beautiful as she is a gifted talent. Jon Stevens (Judas) was outstanding! John Farnham was amazing and brought a great rock feel to the role. The only thing I'd have changed in his performance is that it peaked early, giving some of his best vocal work in his very first song. I'd have rather he made some different choices and let the performance build a little more to Gethsemane, which is really the high point of the role. There is nothing wrong with putting out on the first date, but you don't text pictures of your junk on the way to the restaurant. In spite of that, it's a truly amazing performance, and very much worth listening to.
My only real criticism of the production was the choices of the arranger and conductor. Having played bass in 3 different productions of this, I'm very familiar with the score and what needs to be done for stage as opposed to the film score with which everyone is so well acquainted. The deciding to entirely change the feel of many key songs (I Don't Know How to Live Him comes immediately to mind) was nothing short of barbarism for the sake of change. I only hope they took the score out to dinner first before screwing it that hard. In the long run, they did a disservice not only to the music but to an outstanding cast who deserved better.
Great performances from everyone else involved. You'd be hard pressed to find a more talented cast.
Why is this not on dvd
I think I must have sold a million copies of this... back when... Wow... Was a while ago now!
The best version
Brilliance ^.^
When the original came out i was 7-8 years old and now every time i hear "Superstar" i sing the song we all sang as kids in the school yard:
"Jesus Christ Superstar Burnin' down the corner in a motorcar.
"Cops come up, we don't care, we got bullet proof underwear".
Aahh good times as a kids. Yah can never get it back.
Jesus of Nazareth: "Crikey!"
Johnny Jesus i'd be OKAY with.
Does anyone have instrumentals of this?
Why is anything featuring Ciaphas cut?
Like, the 2000 film soundtrack also cuts This Jesus must die.
Why?
There’s no “This Jesus Must Die”, but his parts in “Hosanna” and “Trial before Pilate” are there. 😊
what are the bells in the first verce of Hosanna.
buena pero nunca como la versión clásica.
kind of repetitive with the beats. Jesus and Judas were cool. Some of the music sounds pretty fresh and cool, but in all, personally, the original still blows it away.
Cleveland Alabama I have the original American 1st pressing. I've been listening to this music for 50 years now. I have to say, this is a more polished version than how records were made in 1970. The original is very of its time. In spots I think this version is just as good, perhaps even better, again, in spots. But the original tracks with Yvonne Elliman, only on the 1970 version, for me are far superior.
Лучше всех 1970 с Яном Гилланом и компанией. Всё остальное жалкие потуги
ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR!!!
This is criminally underrated.
