Well that was my head blown away... I'm a huge fan of Ian Gillian as Jesus (and in DP) but Ted Neely still delivers with such a quality that is pretty much impossible to rival. Standing ovations from me anyway!!! ...oh, and MANY thanks for uploading this epic beautiful moment!
i saw him at his second-last performance. best...performance...ever. i was so moved away, i started crying my eyes out even when he just came on stage. ted neeley is a legend.
ive been reading the comments, i want to clear one thing up to someone who posted about having heard ted neeley in rehearsels before the show. no one was sure Ted could pull this song off that night as he had been very sick and unable to sing much during rehearsels. But he went out on that stage and gave it all he got and then some. He is spetacular. Even when he wasnt feeling well he still went out and wooed the audiance. I grow up watching jc superstar. my fave movie. fave musical.
The intensity and emotional power in ths rare and rough voice is enormous. I am deeply impressed and moved. How is this possible. After singing this role on a nearly daily basis for 36 years! . What a singer, what a credibility, what a respect for the music! You're a big inspiration Ted Nealy, thank you
Any real musician knows that technical precision is NOT what makes for great music. This is an emotional song, and he still hit all the notes great. Anybody criticizing him for not having the same voice he did when he was 30 is completely ignorant. He may be older, and he was apparently under the weather anyway, but what little he may have struggled technically, he made up for with more feeling than ever.
Zseniális előadás!!! Potyognak a könnyeim. Csak Isten adhat ilyen tehetséget egy embernek! Brilliant show! My tears are falling out. Only God can give such a talented man!
I never really understood the conflict in Jesus: both God and man. Ted Neely brings out the human side with such honesty. When he says "What you started" I feel his anguish and see his struggle in doing God's will. I know more about the amazing sacrifice of Jesus to die for our sins.
This is my mother's favorite show of all time and she adored the movie and Ted Neeley when she was younger. I want to take her to see it when it comes to town next year, but I've heard so many bad reviews about Ted in this.. I'm afraid to take her if its going to severely disappoint her. Any opinions out there?
How can anyone say this is terrible?! People who say there's no emotion in this performance, are cold hearted or maybe even have no feelings at all... It may not be your 'style', but you can't say that Ted Neeley doesn't got it! Respect!!
I think the cast members would admire him even more, because he can still continue to do it with the same passion. In fact, Tes Neeley's spiritual progress is growing, and he can put in even more into it, and inspire even more strongly. We can never stop growing in our spiritual progress and understanding, or our relationship with God. That is what is so wonderful.
Just wondering, but does anyone have the crucifixion scene from this tour? someone had it up before but I guess RUclips made them take it down. If someone has it, but not on RUclips, could I have the link to the website?
This was done earlier in the tour. I thought that the show would not be very good after watching this, but when I did see it, I was blown away. Videos are never as good as live performances.
i remember watching jesus christ when i was about 2 years old :3 i always heard ted neeley's voice throughout my life he could never be beat by any other jesus :) he was THE Jesus for me and i can empathize what the cast in the vid felt, after sssoooo many years of singing his songs and saying his lines he was still as godly as ever ^_^
I will be seeing this tomorrow... and am very excited. Ted Neely being in this production was the reason I bought tickets! I don't like people messing with the original! LOL
So, you say Bas was a horrible Jesus. I'd LOVE to see any video of it, if it exists! If anyone has any Sebastian as Jesus vid, PLEASE POST! He can't take it dow, like he did his other shit, cuz he doesn't OWN it! lol I'm a HUGE Bas fan, but he has the WORST business sense, as far as FREE PROMOTION. RUclips=thousands of fans going to see ANY of your many musical endeavors.

Wow, he looks great and sounds what he sounded like in the 1973 film version. Made me cry a little and he's still got it!

Where's the rest of your JCS videos?? I remember they were on your old RUclips account.

Still my favorite singer along with Carl Anderson who passed away where he last sang this song for before this his retirement show

Wrong chord at 5:17? 😬 Also, Neeley does the best G5 out of all versions, no contest.
I will be seeing this tomorrow... and am very excited. Ted Neely being in this production was the reason I bought tickets! I don't like people messing with the original! LOL
The fucking greatest video on youtube ever...
What a voice, still going strong.
Wish he would come to sweden...
He's been better. I'll be uploading more stuff from the 90s tour. That's when he was at his vocal peak.
