This horrible years also marks 50 years since the well known conceptual rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" which featured none other than our Ian Gillan in the role Jesus nonetheless. To mark this occasion during this festive season, we would like to share this interesting BBC report from ten years ago talking about the whole project with it's creators Adrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.
Also we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and REALLY a happy and better new year !

Ian Gillan’s vocals were spectacularly good on this album. No-one since has ever come close to expressing the power, range, emotion, and vulnerability his voice could project around 1970.
Ian Gillian and Murray Head were both FANTASTIC.
Gillan ist fantastisch!
Not to forget Yvonne
Murray Head! Best Judas ever
He's right. This is the best concept album ever. What really is the icing on the cake is casting Ian Gillan as Jesus. He lifts the whole production beyond it's natural brilliance. ALW & TR Should be very grateful to him for elevating the part 👍
So very well put👍🏻
Yes, no question.
Don't get me wrong, I love Ian Gillan (huge fan, actually). He's phenomenal, but I think all the singers on the album are fantastic. And for me I think the real heroes of the album are Joe Cocker's band playing the music behind them. Listening to other cast recordings of JC Superstar they sound like the cast recording of a musical, but this record sounds like a rock album. The album I don't think would have stood out as much as it did without them.
yeah, he's great, and most of then are, but the guy playing Judas SUCKED
Gillan ist der BESTE!!!
Yes, beside Gethsamane, the temple part by Gillan is incredible.
Best ever, then Ted, and I also liked Glenn but best Judas was Carl Anderson and Simon Larry Marshall
The entire cast brilliant but Ian best there will EVER be such RAW high energy vocals simply unbeatable
@@mounts655 Agree ...best JC ever is Gillan, best Judas ever is Anderson.....one each from the record and the film
The Original Album and the 1973 Film will never be topped.
I still listen to this album 50 years later. Ian was fantastic especially singing Gethsemane. Such emotion and feeling. It still gives me chills when I hear it
A very religious teacher made us listen to this album back in 1974. Never knew til 10 years later that what became my favourite singer of my favourite band sang the part of Jesus. I wonder if it was subliminal.
Ian Gillan.... Epic ❤
Still have my double lps and cds. .Ian Gillan freaking awesome. .greatest rock opera of all time. .
Listen to it every Easter.
That's what I do!
I listen to at least one of the numbers from one of the three biggest performances everyday
Same here! And sometimes, just because, I'll throw on "Everything's Alright".
I had the luck that one of my teachers loved it and a whole semester we could hear that fantastic music . It was there that I discovered Ian and he's one of my all time heroes.
Here in 2024 I just saw it at the Kings Theatre in Glasgow. I’m stunned and speechless. Outstanding music, cast and choreography. I was too little to see it in the early 70’s, but now at 55 years old I am totally blown away by it.
Yvonne Elliman? Love her. Where's her mention?
Had that original album and love it. I remember being disappointed that it wasn't the same singers when I finally watched the film.
After years of loving this album and wearing it out on vinyl and cassette, we finally got to see the stage show live back in the mid-2000's, and it was phenomenal. Barry Dennen, in a huge switch, played Herod, and got a standing ovation that nearly stopped the show!
The "Brown Album" is where I direct people to, when they ask me what the best record of the 70's was. It was stuffed with some of the best players from the hottest bands of that moment. Yes, there were the guys from Joe Cocker's band, but also members of Spooky Tooth, Newcleus and several others, not to mention top notch session players like J. Peter Robinson, who plays the unforgettable opening piano riff on "Simon Zealotes".
There's even rumors of some uncredited "superstars", who dropped by to contribute vocal or instrumental performances, turning the recording sessions into a "happening".
I'm really hoping that someone does a full-on documentary about the making of the album, and soon, while some of the key people behind it are still here to talk about it.
This is BLISSSSSSS and I grew up with it.
Loved this video until the very end: King Herod's Song is great, and What's The Buzz SHOULD be a catchphrase! In fact I'm going to start using it today! What's the buzz, man?
The best musical on Jesus Chirst
Everything was perfect. King Herrod’s song Spectacular
While Teddy Neeley and Carl Anderson are my favorite Jesus and Judas, Ian Gillan and Murray Head set the standard for how good you need to be as Jesus and Judas for all the future singers to play them!
Best musical ever.
One of my favorites of all time. Fortunate to have seen the stage presentation in London in 1976. Then again in 1994 in Orange County, CA with Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson. Brought to tears through most of the performance.
Guillan es la verdadera voz Jesús súper star y además el original
Best Voices in rock ever still listening to both CD and Vinyl
I was 10 when it came out. My older brother had it on 8 track. Head phones on . Loved it. Also love the movie when it came out. Both are great. Like Tommy the rock opera. The Who ,then the movie with all the other stars. Both are great.
Yup. Brilliant.
Still love it
I am So Lucky and proud to see the show when it came at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu and am amazed to see Tim Rice and the rest of the performers on stage.
Yes, you need the voice and the talent of someone who can interpret the words through the music.
Brilliance all around.
Feliz navidad a todos especialmente a los fans purple tremenda voz que tenia gillan
And history was made!
Well he's wrong about "what's the buzz." It was a common expression during WWII in the UK and US referring to war-related news received by commercial radio when radio stations were restricted from transmission blackout periods. After blackouts and attacks, people would ask "what's the buzz" meaning what's the latest news over radio and telephone. The expression slowly fizzled out by the mid 1950s, but the older generation of the day still used it tongue-in-cheek. (And I think the King Harrod song "walk across my swimming pool" is a hoot!)
My favorite...🤟
lovely !
My big bro was an actor so my early music experience was show music this is how I discovered gillan not purple except fireball
I had the album, 8 track, cassette, cd...
This must've been a longer feature correct? No mention of the album's centerpiece "Gethsemane"? Also couldn't disagree more strongly with his take on Herod's song. It's a high point and deeply emotional
Yes, agreed

Gillan - circa 1970 to 1973 - one of the most brilliant voices in the rock music world - fast forward to later decades - well Gillan’s voice is a shadow of its former self imo …. 🥹
Это произведение надо изучать школах на уроках музыки, потому что в нем использованы многие музыкальные стили.
Last thing I expected when I put this on was to see the presenter at Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.
To be crystal clear.
Ian Gillan IS the gold standard. His voice is light years above Ted's. Ian's soul, depth, tone and power, destroy ted's voice in every aspect.
Both are great
Ich stimme 101% zu!
@@lindaclark9925 Aber!!! Gillan ist eine Größenordnung höher!
@@walterulman8935 i think it's weird to even suggest that one is better than the other
Well it's just not even fair since Gillan is probably the GOAT rock voice
Check out John Farnham singing JCS 1992 final show in Melbourne Australia. Also listen to Cate Ceberano as Mary & John Stevens as Judas
Herod’s song was perfect…shows who Herod was exactly, the excess pig, etc…so he’s wrong there and yes, they actually did say “what’s the buzz” once back in the day
Barry denen is the best in the movie he was amazing !
Best Pilate….but I also liked Frank Johanson’s Nazi Pilate
Jesus is Lord.
Wow - Webber is familiar with Ultimate Spinach! 👍
65 now and still listening to this,the old version, the film and the version with Tim Minchin . No, King Herod's song is not ridiculous, it has to be like this because his judgement was ridiculous. Listen to the lyrics and please think that this album is not about Jesus, its about Judas .
Exactly…what Judas thought and his great disappointment with Jesus…and it shows he didn’t realize whom He truly was until too late and he had been destined to turn Him over..
Lol! Well then Jesus quite upstages judas 😂 The album is totally about Jesus. Just stop.
Judas was an instrument.
Its always been about Jesus.
And not a single word about Yvonne Elliman - WTF???????
I know!
TR says it will be around in another 41 years. LOL. He was wrong. It will be around forever. I promise you......
No hay duda Oan Gillan debio salir en la pelicula creo lo rechazó por esrar de gira c Deep Purple
King Herodes song is brilliant and funny. No so it has its place in the album,.
I'm just so glad Matt Berry called out "What's The Buzz" and "King Herod's Song." I feel so seen. I'll give "King Herod's Song" verges on satire in its campiness (kind of like "Superstar"), but it's definitely a weak point.
IAN GILLAN 19 FEBRERO 1946
Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green planned to make a musical of Christ's life before this project but Fleetwood Mac's success and touring schedule meant they never got to do it, although Jeremy did put his belief in Christ before his career when he quit FWM in favour of joining a Jesus Cult.
0:34 shit I didn't expect Toast
You love the album but think King Herod's Song was a ridiculous inclusion? What!?!?! That's a brilliant inclusion, in my opinion. Probably you were just kidding.
Great album. Gillan made more money from this album thsn with Deep Purple in the 70s.
Ahh but Ian did act it also
Don't do it again. Leave it alone!
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
