@@nthdegree1269 Have you listened to the original album? Murray Head has so much anguish in his voice. Just listen to Heaven On Their Minds. I'm not saying Carl Anderson isn't good, but he doesn't hold a candle to Murray.
@@iancollins3991 I grew up in the 1970s. Yes Murray Head had a great version, but, Carl simply took it too another level. His "Little Richard Type of Growl" that comes toward the end is highly emotive. I also prefer Ted Neeley to Ian Gillian in his pieces. Not that Neeley is a greater or better singer. Carl Anderson was the version that stuck in most people's minds when I was younger among people who used to listen to those sorts of things.
Nth Degree I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I don’t know how anyone who hears Gillan’s version of Gethsemane can prefer any other version. His tortured screams in that song drip with so much emotion, I get goosebumps every time. I don’t get that from Neeley.
I had the pleasure of seeing a private show with Carl Anderson, honoring his birthday, soon before his death. I said to him, "Carl, I watched you all my life growing up!" He said, "Stop, you're making me feel old!" RIP Carl. You were truly great.
Wonderful performer and brilliant person, I got to have a drink with Jesus and Judas after the play in Baltimore (90’s). I have nothing but love for him and Ted.
Rest in Peace, no one has ever played Judas better than Carl Anderson! A legend. Yes, I love him. Thanks, God he was on this world to spread his good music!
Watching old episodes of the Tv show Hotel, Mr. Anderson was singing as a guest, with the beautiful Sherry Belafonte, I discovered this awesome gift. Also discovered he’d passed away from Leukemia. Rest in peace Sir. Wonderful voice.
i was lucky enough to see carl anderson in the 25th anniversary tour in 1997 ..3 times! once in l.a. and twice in toronto with the second in the front row. i actually ran into mr. anderson in a restaurant during the run. he stood like a statuesque athlete, charming and warm, will never forget it.
Carl Anderson was and is my all time fave vocalist..I work in rock music and this mans power, control and diction is like no other..so sorry when we lost him..rip Carl
Such a beauty! Such a soul and such a voice! We sure will never forget him. The movie came out 17 years before I was born, but the film has marked my life forever since I watched it again and again thanks to my father when I was a child. Thank you Norman Jewison, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber and the cast...
Carl was a true artist - his voice was incredible. I had the pleasure of seeing Jesus Christ Superstar with Ted Neely and Carl Anderson when I was a child. I cherish those memories! May Carl Rest In Peace.
Most recordings around this time with Carl Anderson (that I've heard at least) are at this tempo, regardless of where its being sung, so maybe Carl wanted it that fast.
Life passes like grass blown in the wind Loved Carl Anderson since I was 15 Saw him in 1972 in JCS movie His voice is the sound of a generation Can't wait to meet him in Heaven
This man was the key to me discovering the beautiful piece of art . I grew up very religious and thought it was blasphemy before I saw it . He made me understand what it was about and I’ve loved it ever since
Yessssss! When I rate the best male singing artists of all time...Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry and Meat Loaf, I have been forgetting Carl Anderson and Ted Neeley. These are the best 5 singers of all time! Not in in special order ~
Thanks for putting this video up. there are some good performers who played Judas but Carl by far is the best. I had the privelidge of seeing him twice. Both time along with Ted Neeley. Best team ever for this play!
What a great performance. A very rare talent, to be able to sing that good so early in the morning and in the wrong tempo :-) Very sad that Carl had to die so young.
Carl Anderson played Judas with so much heart and passion that he became Judas. It's very sad that he died so young. He was an amazingly talented man. His performance in JCS will remain iconic and memorable forever. Rest peacefully Carl.🙏❤
Carl was born to play the role of Judas in JCS. The love between Carl and Ted was/is beautiful to witness. I was blessed to meet Carl and Ted in '94. They both can sing like no other can. XO to both Carl and Ted.
You don't have to be a Christian to love the play or the movie. I just love great music & excellent vocals! Carl Anderson should have been more famous than he was.
Surely, some voices are made in Heaven. RIP Carl. Too bad I never got a chance to see him live. Would have loved that! He's a big part of why I love JCSS so much.
No one has ever EVER been (sang) a better Judas than Carl Anderson
Murray Head did
Carl Anderson was the best. In the one from the movie. Emotional, you can hear the stress and anguish in his voice. Unbelievable

Guitarist: We're going to mess with the tempo to confuse Carl.
Carl: Hold my beer.
For real, that guitarist butchered the main riff so bad.
Best comment.
Hahahahahahaha!!! You nailed it!
Pretty sure they rehearsed (though apparently not enough). They obviously had time constraints so pulled a Focus "Midnight Special".
RIGHT!!??? And at the bridge where the lyrics become so rapid... he didn't even blink an eye and his timing was impeccable
He is so beautiful even live. He was cast as the perfect Judas. Ted and Carl had such strong chemistry together.
Rosie Summer - they were best friends too.
They were the "Lennon/McCartney" of Jesus Christ Superstar!
I got the pleasure of seeing Ted and Carl in 97!!
Carl Anderson is legendary.
I see your taste in music is as good as your training programs :P
INDEED
Oh yes he is, and was.
100% love Carl
Carl hasn't lost any tone from his voice. What a gift!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing a private show with Carl Anderson, honoring his birthday, soon before his death. I said to him, "Carl, I watched you all my life growing up!" He said, "Stop, you're making me feel old!"
RIP Carl. You were truly great.
Lovely story.
SalvadorLosAngeles I wish that I could have met him.
SalvadorLosAngeles I th
SalvadorLosAngeles I was blessed to be able to witness Ted Neeley Carl Anderson together doing JCS on tour!

Rest in Peace, no one has ever played Judas better than Carl Anderson!
A legend. Yes, I love him. Thanks, God he was on this world to spread his good music!
I had the good fortune of having Carl sing a few songs I co-wrote when I first moved to LA.
He's a master of playing with the rhythm.
He will always be my favorite Judas portrayal.
Got to see him in Philly on his last tour as Judas and it did not disappoint!
mine, too!
Unique
ABSOLUTELY!
Very hard to watch anyone else in the role after Carl . . . Amazing!!
I met Mr. Anderson in 1995. What a gracious and kind man. He was an amazing performer.
BEST Musical
BEST Song
BEST Singer
CARL ANDERSON!
R.I.P. CARL ANDERSON YOU SURE WAS ONE OF BEST SINGERS EVER!!!
Carl never lost his pipes. Wow...

Best I can't believe how young he looks he still has the voice❤
That guitar player have somewhere he has to be ten minutes ago? Gawd...
Most recordings around this time with Carl Anderson (that I've heard at least) are at this tempo, regardless of where its being sung, so maybe Carl wanted it that fast.
Frozen Gumwad probably that fat because of tv and the time limit. It was fast but Carl worked it! FABULOUS performance
Frozen Gumwad Lol best comment
Frozen Gumwad ????
He forgot to take a shit before the show
I saw him perform back then at North Charleston Performing Arts Center, SC. He did not need a microphone!!! Astounding performance! RIP Carl Anderson
No reverb or autotune needed when you you're this great.
love love love. Carl Anderson had an incredible voice. May he Rest In Peace.
He was amazing back in 1973 and is just as great in this show. Portrayed the best Judas in the movie. Amazing talent.
Incredible voice!
I love this guy! I listen to his singing every week. I will never get sick of it! 😍
Life passes like grass blown in the wind Loved Carl Anderson since I was 15 Saw him in 1972 in JCS movie His voice is the sound of a generation Can't wait to meet him in Heaven
Still brilliant after all these years.
This is my favourite number from the show
He absolutely killed it I can feel the raw power and emotion is hi singing. Truly amazing.
Amazing voice, range, depth! Soulful! Just LIFE! Such a gift 🎁 RIP🙏🏽
This should have millions of views..
Still legendary even in the 90s performing one of the best songs in the Musical. Legend in spirit RIP 🕊️
I would give anything to have seen Carl perform this live. Wow what an experience that must have been.
I was lucky enough to see him perform as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, with Ted Neeley as Jesus, in San Francisco in the mid 90s.
Every note in her perfect place,no failures,no spots here.
This man was the key to me discovering the beautiful piece of art . I grew up very religious and thought it was blasphemy before I saw it . He made me understand what it was about and I’ve loved it ever since
this video is pure GOLD
thanks CARL
Such a gnarly riff. Carl makes this song seem effortless, his phrasing is so full of sincerity and soul and confidence. ICON/10
I had the ultimate pleasure of seeing this revival tour of JCS and 30 years later I am in awe of Carl Anderson.
Wonderful, I love him.
Carl Anderson......Amazing Talent!!!
Everyone compliments his singing (as they should) but his acting as Judas was what really made him a success at the role

His voice was gorgeous live.
This is so very beautiful. I miss this great man so very much. I love you forever sweet man...

Holy crap! Spotless, even at that tempo!
Carl Anderson BAE. he’s a pioneer! Such a definitive performance.
よく貴重な音源が残っているとは感謝です、アンダーソン氏の歌は中一の時映画で知りました、日本のタバコのCMにも歌で出演されておられましたが早くに亡くなられて本当に残念だと思います。
I never tire of listening to his beautiful voice!
i fell in love with his character judas and to this day, i still bawl my eyes out every time i watch his death..
Thanks very much for this video.
It is very good quality. Carl Anderson is best Judas ever! Always will be!
That piano playing though.
