Tony Hadley è strepitoso 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 come Gesu’ , ma è incredibile la sua capacità di passare da un genere all’altro! L’avvocato Billy Flynn nel musical Chicago, per rimanere nel tema del musical. Ma dal vivo esegue cover che vanno da Sinatra ad Elvis, Tony Bennet, Nina Simone, Queen, David Bowie, U2 ed altri ancora! Unico ed inimitabile 🎉👏🏻👏🏻😊😊👍🏻!!
I love JCS with a passion. Ever since I first heard it. It moves me to tears, brings me the deepest joy and sadness all at the same time. It's just such a wonderful piece of art on every level.

Thank you omg
I just think that Daltrey, who was in the first rock opera, landing in a production of JCSS is wonderful casting.
I'm obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar and have seen hundreds of versions, but not this one. Thanks!
As a massive fan of both the Who and JCS, I have searched in vain for this production for years! Thank you! Now if it were just possible to get Daltrey and Gillan to share the stage...

I didn't know Roger Daltrey had ever been in a version of JCS. He's my favourite singer of all time! And he's amazing in this! I'm glad I stumbled across it. My new favourite Judas. Also, Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet as Jesus. I like his take on it, but there are better.

Esta gra obra, de mis favoritas. Ellos. Esos flecos. El cuerpo de baile. La grúa bajando del cielo (pensé que no había grúas en el cielo celestial y divino) Uno que se lo creía a pies juntillas y me encantaba, aún hoy, vivo en esa inocencia limpia y blanca. Vamos, que sigue subyugándome hasta el delirio. Tiempos de interno en el Badajoz mítico. Donde se brillaba con luces y sin ellas. Donde fui feliz y conocí esta obra, ya eterna, con tanta gente encantadora que espero sigan felices y bien. No os olvidaré jamás. Mientras viva. ¡Uno que es asina!
there are not other rock singer as Roger! Long live Roger!
i recorded this off the radio when it was broadcast and played it to death until my stereo very kindly decided to chew it up and snap it beyond repair! :-( So great to hear it again after all these years. I remember the BBC radio 2 went through a great period around that time of doing these types of concerts/broadcasts. I used to have the 21st anniversary concert broadcast of A chorus Line and Sunset Boulevard with Petula Clark and Michael Ball as well as a few other shows and concerts. they were great. wish they'd make them available to buy they're fantastic! thanks for posting. much appreciated! :-)
Probably the best version of Jesus Christ Superstar I've encountered. Roger Daltrey kills it as Judas.
I first heard this in college. When i read the biblical quote my heart stood still. I still listen on Palm Sunday. Wow
WOW! This is an amazing version of JCS! It's too bad it never got the CD/DVD treatment.
Remember taping this off the radio as it was broadcast live. Never thought I'd hear it again. Thank you for uploading! Amazing! :)
I was 16 years old.....when I asked my dad to borrow some money.....he thought it was for a Fathers Day present....my greedy self....purchased the album.....49 years later......it is still one of the greatest road trip partner's......first time I have ever heard this rendition.....parts of it are so gentle.....yet there is still the rawness when needed......As a believer.....you would not believe how many times...I have asked people to give the album a try.....to get a glimpse of gospel message......

Thank you for saying this! Far from being blasphemous like some say I think it is one of the greatest vehicles for witness that's ever being created even if Lloyd Webber and Rice didn't even realise it! I still think there is something special about Steve Balsamo's portrayal of Jesus! God bless.
Wow! A one brilliant rendition of JCS. Really digging the orchestrations in these one and Roger Daltrey as Judas is just top notch!

I thought Judas’ death scene was SO powerful! More so than other bits that probably should have been more so, in my humble opinion...
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.
Wait, WHAT?!?! There's a version of JCS with Roger Daltrey? How the F did this fly under my radar for over 20 years? Love it!! Thanks for posting this.
Roger's reprise of "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM", and JUDA'S DEATH are something EPIC!!
Outstanding, fantastic, wonderful. Thank You Jesus for suffering and dying in my place.
Once I told them I loved Jesus Christ Superstar. I am really enjoying. The different versions that pop up badass Good night, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Frances Ruffelle singing Mary Magdalene. I KNEW the voice sounded familiar
Daltrey That's all that needs to be said.
This is really amazing! Roger Daltrey! Tony too, you can hear that he isn't a rock singer, especially in Gethsemane but he did a good job.
Frances Ruffelle ❤
Judas: Roger Daltrey!!!!
I grew up going to the picture theater watching this and never get sick of watching JCS then I saw John farnham sing omg amazing I loved Ted Nely sing but he was out of this world ❤
Best version of "Could we start again" I have ever heard - Frances' voice is perfection. That song wasn't on the original album - I would have liked to hear Yvonne Elliman sing it.

For me, the original Herod's song is much better.
Tony Hadley as JC has a beautiful voice. However if I don't hear THE high note or the screams on "Gethsemane", it just doesn't cut it for me.
Love Pilate in this one!
I love this. Saw the movie when it came out in theaters.❤️
Brilliantly done. Brilliant.

Great show, faultless cast (Roger Daltrey, Frances Ruffelle, Jeff Shankley, I could go on...), only criticism is that there's no rock scream in Gethsemane. And perhaps King Herod's Song is a bit too talky.

@Bruce Bashore My only problem with his version is that Herod is supposed to be a weak puppet king under the Romans. Alice Cooper could just say - Romans? Hell no, I'm the King here.
Great !!!!
This is an absolutely nice version. I like the fact that it was recorded in front of a live audience. King Herod's Song is a bit disappointing, he should be singing it, not to speak..
And John Barr as Simon and Jeff Shankley as Pilate. This is such a great production. Is it available on CD?

Daltrey's performance is a bit extreme. Hadley sounds boyband in comparison. The Orchestra sounds great though.
Only the original has the right emotion. In every other version, they don't know what acting is.
