Jesus Christ Superstar (1976 Santa Barbara County Bowl) [very rare]
www.jesuschrist...
I came across this post on the Jesus Christ Superstar Zone website and was immediately intrigued. This recording is the only existing recording of Ted Neeley, Yvonne Elliman, and Carl Anderson performing this show on a stage live. When hearing about this I immediately searched the internet for a recording of this but to my dismay I only found 2 recordings, Everything's Alright and Gethsemane. I was not going to let this hang over me until the day I die so I turned to reddit. I asked r/JesusChristSuperstar if they knew anything about it and to my luck the man who wrote the very page I linked responded to it. He claimed to have the entire show and would send it to me for free so I agreed. He sent it to me and I downloaded it and was so very pleased to hear such a new take on the show from the same people and I'm very lucky that that man was there to send it to me. Anyways, that's the story of how I came across this recording I hope you enjoy it. I added a slideshow of some picture from the original 1976 production and the 1973 movie with the same 3 leads. I hope you guys enjoy! :)
Special thanks to:

u/gdelgi for writing the page on the website and sending me the recording on reddit!

1) This was the first record I bought with my own money [Columbia House]. 2) I was Caiaphas in FLCO's 1976 production at the same time, my first lead outside school! [I've also done Herod and Pilate] 3) So so so lucky that these Priests got to do Then We Are Decided. 4) Anderson and Neeley is stunning - in top form - and Ted is sublime on Poor Jerusalem. 5) Wow! Just how FAST were those opening numbers? What's the rush, lol? 6) I finally got to meet Ted recently. One of the nicest humans on earth! 7) My daughter is blessed enough to be in the cast of the JCS 50th Anniversary Tour. This show is in our genes...

Honestly might be the best version of JCS It has BOTH the added movie songs, most of the movie cast, the original Temple lyrics, the better order of Then We Are Decided after Everythings Alright which flows much better and doesn't grind the show to a halt And the audio is far better than the sloppy soundtrack mix This is brilliant

saw these two at wang theatre in boston for three nights got ted and carl twice together. Understudies other nights the band from the pit was stunning with acoustics from theatre. Andrew loyd webber and tim rice made some magic. Pontius, caiuphus, mary , king herrod all great too but to see carl and ted was incredible would have been around 1992 maybe woud have killed to see this cast but i didnt come along til 81' thanks for upload!!! yvonne was irreplaceable such emotive sound.

Love how aggressive Carl's intonations are in this recording's version of The Last Supper. His voice is almost racing against the instrumental, you can seriously feel the hostility and pain.

Love the audio but kinda wish it had been videoed as well. Saw the non-equity tour many times, loved it every time!
The sound production is fantastic for 1976. It's nice to hear a recording with the main three cast because the music in the film is almost inaudible.
senza togliere nulla agli altri artisti, ma Yvonne Elliman è superlativa without taking anything away from the other artists, but Yvonne Elliman is superlative

cast ted neely as jesus carl anderson as judas yvonne ellimen
Amazing to hear this again 45 years later! A few parts differ from what I remember. For example, I remember Herod saying, "You're a joke you're not the lord, you're nothing but a Ford! Oh, drive him away he's got nothing to say..." I'm guessing the production may have evolved some after this recording. Also, I don't think I've ever seen a staging of JCS with Then We Are Decided included, but it's in this soundtrack.
Amazing recording! How did you find this gem? I had the opportunity to tour with Ted and Carl on JCSS playing drums. They are the best Jesus and Judas!

I feel like this is the closest I've found to the one I grew up on as a child. I don't know. Spotify has disgusting remastered ones that just destroyed the bass and boom of every track so, it's been hard to find them. And I was pretty sure, the Judas in our version was black. Nothing against Murray Head, he's great, but this guy has the right boom to his voice.

I attended one of the showings in Santa Barbara in 1976, which I am not sure, I believe it was at the Santa Barbara bowl, but not sure. I was 15. We'd gotten free tickets from one of the kings who was a friend of the family. I remember being in the front row with a classmate, with our feet up on stone lined planter below the stage. We were the only ones in that row. I don't remember there being many people there, quite empty of people frankly, it makes me wonder if it was a dress rehearsal? I remember it being daytime. My mom who was a pusher of the theater when I was a kid, we had season tickets to the big LA theaters, has passed. So can't ask her. Would love to know which performance that was, and if it was at the bowl? Or at another Santa Barbara venue? I was delighted to find this live recording of the music, and a link to its origin on another website with more info. We had the album, I loved it and the play. Epic play. Thanks for posting this.

I saw it, too, fall '76. I was only eight or nine. It was an outdoor amphitheater in Santa Barbara, definitely at night.(Maybe it was a rehearsal you saw?) It was crowded. I remember overhearing remarks by other audience members after the play ended and everyone was leaving. "In the movie, you see him [Jesus] walking off with lambs," said an elderly lady. We were from L.A./Pasadena and drove up to Santa Barbara for the weekend just to see it. We already knew Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson were going to be in it--and when we arrived we found out Yvonne Elimann would be in it, too! Still have my program. Years later I noticed that some children in the cast went on to be well-known, including Eric Stoltz.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a masterpiece as a concept album of great songs. The musical interpretation of the Messiah's final days leading to his crucifixion is nothing short of brilliant and more so with the album set in the genre of rock. Its success played out in theater performances and movie version. The original lead casts was superb. Ted Neely was perfect playing Jesus Christ in theater as well as on screen. Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice are maestros of music making.
In certain ways is better than the OST LP. Some song has some funky heavy grooves that OST doesn't have...
Amazing

Most audience or other bootlegs from the '70s are pretty dreadful but in some cases they're the only record we have, like the audience recordings of Laura Nyro's 1971 tour. The quality of this one given the circumstances is pretty amazing.
