Time to dust off the HMDI and put it on the big screen. I set PlayStation vue to save it. I was going to watch the first hour and then go to TWD. It was so good that I recorded TWD instead and watched JCS live in it’s entirety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think John Legend is very talented but that role screams for a much more powerful voice. Think of the originals. Ian Gillan, Ted Neely- both of those guys can absolutely belt it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I caught Ted Neely doing this role on a reunion tour back about 12 years ago or so. He could still belt that number out. It’s hair raising live. Corey Glover of Living Colour did the Judas role. I swear he could have mashed up Superstar with Cult of Personality and it would have been awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That crucifixition sceen at the end was magic and the way they handled Judas’ hanging was perfect. I also hoped that various drum corps took note of the choreography. It was brilliant.

Tim K Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It’s funny, I’m not a huge “Jesus Christ, Superstar” fan, I like parts but in small doses, but Madison 1999 is always on my list of top ten shows. I did not see Sunday’s special. I intended to, but a local station had a “Blue Bloods” marathon and I can’t resist a show featuring an Irish Catholic family that argues at the dinner table every Sunday. It’s probably genetic. It does seem like I missed something great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to ask Siri to play some Kansas. As a FWIW, there's a pretty good live arena showing of JC Superstar from 2012 on DVD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most powerful voices in the history of Rock music. I have the original CDs as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
