The fact that you still tear that song apart while turning 80 yrs old this year is nothing short of miraculous! I was 5 yrs old when my mom brought this album home - it has been my favorite album from that day to this. Thank you Mr Neeley for 50 yrs of amazing vocal work!!!
Holy crap, he's 80?! That's insane! He looks and sounds much younger.
Yes❤
Wow! Freakin amazin
Is he almost 80 here in this video? 😮
@@maruscatarabella9623 yes!
Tears in 73 and after 50 years, I still have tears. 80 years or not, no one could ever hold a candle to Ted Neeley.
I get you
Try Dan Vasc, he is another talented singer like Ted.
I agree
Agreed
You got that right!!!
I am a 74 year old Man and I cried after him singing after 50 years. WOOOOOW
Now THAT'S impressive. I love Jesus Christ Superstar and no one can hold a candle to Ted Neeley even at 80 years old.
Agreed. Man's still got it. My parents, and my Mom's sisters all played this for all of us, while we were growing up. I'm not sure if any of the boys got into it, but my cousin Heather and I love it.
Always the BEST! Love you Ted!
He was called by God to play Jesus part! He was supernaturally gifted by God with the voice and vocal range! Yes, miraculous! Hellelujah to the Most High!
The sheer power, emotion, and control, even after all those years, never fail to blow my mind. We are lucky to have you sir! The GOAT.
m sitting in a hospital after a crazy surgery, and I see a video I hadn’t seen. Turned out this shot THIS YEAR!
Teddy has brought so much love to this planet in serious ways. He reaches everyone, no matter their creed or religion-Christian or not.
Thank you from the very heart of every cell.
I lived in J C superstar as a kid. Became a Christian. Jesus knew who he was and what he was doing. Superstar helps us understand his human nature and feel that frailty. But he is God...and he is man. Such a mystery.
For : papadopp3870 : God has already blessed you ! ❤
⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐ Truly an inspired and inspiring performamce
Hate to break the news to you but he is lip syncing. Watch Gethsemane 2021 Live in Boston.
In 1973 I was 16. Mom gave me the option of getting this album or or George Harrison’s Bangladesh for Christmas. I chose this one. My father who never went to church thought it was sacrilegious. My mom, a staunch Catholic loved it.
Maybe he meant choosing JC over GH was sacrilegious 😂
Today is Palm Sunday good watching Jesus Christ Superstar for the millionth time. You were born to play that role. Nothing will ever compare to the 73 movie thank you and for all of the cast
Maravillosos todos los amooo viendo hoy viernes santo 2024 maracaron mi vida todos los que estuvieron en esta maravilla desde santiago de chile ❤❤❤
Marcaron sorry please
Emocionante para los vivimos esa epoca ,muy emocionante,k hermoso envejecer y teniendo la misma energia,pucha para mi la mejor opera de la epoca
@@juannymontengroarce2129я 1955 года Рождения ,слушаю эту оперу 50 лет и до сих пор не пойму,как можно было написать такое чудо! Это шедевр на все времена!
Absolutely..... the movie soundtrack captures lightning in a bottle! Nothing in 50 years comes close.
When you hit that note “Why should I die?!!” I got chills (again!) I’m still as moved by your performance today as when I first saw JCS way back when. Thank you for sharing your talent and Jesus with the world!! Love you, Ted!
WOW! No one and I mean NO ONE can touch Ted Neeley when it comes to this song. I have listened to many... some are very good and come close. BUT, none can put the passion and power to it like Ted can. He is an amazing singer. I just wish he was known for some of his other works. He was the perfect person for this role. 50 years and he still nails the high notes. Amazing.
Couldn't agree more x
So true!!
Correct watched originally x
I feel the same intense magic when I first heard this with Ted leading, amazed and awestruck
I saw JCS live in Hollywood 50 years ago ~ Totally Incredible!!!
Yet, I recently discovered Dan Vasc, boosegumps on top of my goosebumps!!! Dan captured the unspeakable angst and remarkably delivers it to his audience!
I have listened to Jesus Christ Superstar every Good Friday since the early 1980's. I have seen Ted Neely star in the musical in Buffalo. Truly SPECTACULAR! God Bless!🐢🇺🇸
Hearing this song again 50 years later still brings tears to my eyes and deeply touched my heart. I can't believe Ted Needley is 80. He still has amazing voice and looks so much younger than his years. Ted thank you for blessing us with this song once again and thank you for helping us to understand how human Jesus was and what He did for us by going through a painful and agonising death on the cross.
Ow wow! When was he here? I have lived in Bflo area since 1986. Btw I used to do the same thing as a teen. Shut myself in my room on Good Friday & listen to the entire album. I still have it but it's the original Broadway album. I remember seeing the movie. This video was so beautiful, so emotionally moving.❤
@@marylynnacee4062 he was here about 10 years ago at Shea's
@@lindablair-rk9vr thanks. I wished I'd gone!
This man has been blessed for jesus himself.
Amazing perfomance
Same energy !
Same hart!
Same soul !
No other cast will EVER top the originals. Sobbed when I was a kid at this. What a performer! ❤❤❤
This singer... This song... Always makes me cry. His interpretation of Tim Rice's words are so powerful, even today.
Tim Rice's words. But yes, as much as I admire Ian Gillan for his astounding vocal work, there's only one true choice for this particular role, and that's Ted Neeley.
@@beapbassIt couldn't be anyone else!!
@@beapbass I fixed it. Thanks for the correction.
Whether 50, 100, 200 years or more pass, Ted Neeley's performance will always touch the viewer deeply. Thanks for more this version ❤🎶
Ted Neeley's power, portraying Jesus through subtle innocence, is striking. He's never over the top or forced. It's so sensitive that when he lets loose its becomes so powerful you get chills then tears....and you BELIEVE.
This is my favorite musical, my all time favorite song. You, you Ted Neeley brought life and inspiration to generations. I will never forget your interpretation and delivery. Most humble regards to you and your never ending, God given talent that remains unchallenged. Thank you sincerely.
Happy Easter Sunday! 🐣☀️✝️🕉️
This is one of the greatest songs in theater history and Ted Neeley still hits that rock-n-roll high note!!! 🗣️🎤🎶 I connect with this song deeply!
To me, Easter is way more important that Christmas. Jesus being born was the easiest thing he did. Living life on earth, getting to the cross, taking one for humanity, and then coming back from the dead like “WHAT!” is the greatest “F’Round, F’Out” movement of all time! Say it ain’t so! 🙌🏼😁
If Jesus can have a moment when he doubted himself but still stayed committed to the divine contract, then it’s ok for all of us to feel this way too sometimes. This song reminds me to never give up and to hold on to faith because JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!
✊🏾no one could sing this song better than Ted Neeley. I truly feel he channeled Jesus when he sang this!
I am still having goosebumps. Thank you so much, Ted Neeley for this amazing performance after 50 years. You are the Greatest of all time!! God bless you always!!
Yes thats real.
Same here exactly!
What an amazing performance then and today!!!
Wow. Sounds incredible Just as good as 50 years ago.
Amazing! Jesus Christ Superstar is my all time most favorite musical! I love how you kept your gorgeous "Jesus" long hair through the years. ❤💛💙
Insanely good. How is it possible? I was raised on this musical too and am shocked that he can still sing like this. Best. Jesus. Ever.
Lip sync and edit. Not real. The scream part is from the film in 1973.
Wow! I cannot believe he can still hit those high notes! And just so raw and full of emotion. Beautiful!!
I dont think he did
They played the '73 version when he hit the high notes
Just mouthing
Wow is right! We get to see Ted do it 50 years later! How cool! I saw him about 12 years ago, and his voice was going out on him even then. No matter. It was a blessed joy to behold. Seeing the performance 50 years after first seeing it in the movie theater still evokes an emotional response. Such a powerful song! Glad you liked it, too.
A little hybrid going on here. The fact that most people know EXACTLY what the original sounds like will always give it away. But Ted's great.
The biggest crush I ever had as a teenager! The only musical worth watching over and over again! I finally met him in Cupertino California ! He is the nicest person ever! So happy he still so very talented and Incredibly handsome!!!
Still beautiful.
🙌 Yes
Words cannot express the awesomeness of your reprise of this iconic song. Both then and now you absolutely nailed this , I know every word to the songs , it was the best musical film I have ever watched. I thank you for bringing back all those memories. There will never be another portrayal of Jesus you truly owned this. A shout out to all the other wonderful singers in the film too.
As always I am moved to tears. Always sung with such incredible conviction. This song, Ted Neeley's voice and JCSS is timeless! Thank you for decades of beautiful, heartfelt music. 💜🙏💜
A lot of aging rock stars his age now who don't have half the chops he has today.
Sing on, rock on Ted! +++
@@Rm212-ks9eq
I’m a fan, have been forever, but this is not a LIVE vocal. It’s definitely his voice though.
❤
I saw JCSS live performance with Ted and the original Judas, Mary and a few others. It was amazing! I will never forget it. 😊
Plus, and not to take away from the man's amazing talent, he was hot...lol!
Music in his soul. Timeless!
The transition from his younger voice to his present one is just flawless. His voice did not change that much.
At some high-pitch parts it seemed overdubbed (mixed) by an earlier recording.
Nevertheless.........I allways admired his (original) performanse.
@@karelvandervelden8819 I think you're right. They're (the high parts) the 1973 vocals.
@@liamskopal7516Nope. Those are 2023 vocals. He's gotta be in his 70s, but the vocals in the video are modern. The man has taken care of his voice.
@@SarahBeach-jm9jpAnd his hair!
@@SarahBeach-jm9jpas much as I absolutely LOVE Ted Neeley, and will argue with anyone till I'm blue in the face that he sings this song better than anybody else on the planet, those high notes are definitely overdubbed. I've watched this movie probably at least 50 times and played him singing this song even more! I've also watched the live version of JCS 4 times with him in it and although he still has an amazing voice, he can't hit those high notes the same way that he could when he was in his 20's. If you compare the original soundtrack version and then compare those high notes you'll see that it's identical. Similarly if you watch other videos of him singing this live you'll see that his voice definitely sounds older and more ragged. But I will still sing his praises no matter what because I'm totally in awe of him, both as an actor and singer, but also as a wonderful and kind human being. I've met him after each and every performance and he's truly got a heart of gold!
Im a 57 yr old woman, who fell head over heels for u when i was in my 20's. Sir, i still feel the same. I had the absolute pleasure of being able to see u live and was shocked then that u still had the ability to reach those incredible notes. And now to see u still feeling the music, im blown away. Please take care and keep on blowing us all away ❤
So blessed to have seen Ted Neely perform in this wonderful musical 6 times & got to take my mom before she passed!
Ted, you are the embodiment of Jesus. Now and forever. I cry every time I hear you sing this. The emotion, conviction and talent gives me chills. God bless you always. Much love.
Yes, I'm in tears everytime I hear it, he is able to portray such emotion, like he was there in Christ's body and transmitting to us his terrible pain inside his heart
Jesus became white?
@@stormthor4991
No one cares what colour Jesus was.
When you adopt a Labrador, do you care about its colour?
My cat was grey so that's pretty much neutral.
@@johnc7214 oh, a racist bigot
That’s totally insane , Ted singing this masterwork today like he did 50 years ago , hitting the same ridiculous high notes , is a true miracle. The greatest J.C. ever , unmatched by anyone. Love ya T. Neeley 💙
this is lipsynced. he is not singing live.
@@rohadtanyad8908 I kinda think so too... especially the scream has to be dubbed in and not currently can do at 80. A lot of it is current though, I'm sure. Saw him about 5-6 years ago in Detroit; he was great. Love every version he's ever sang of it. Amazing he's still doing it at all.
@@w786opt6 he doesn't even have a microphone. that is a studio recording. he is lipsyncing the whole thing. i am not saying he can't sing it live, but he didn't here.
@@w786opt6here is a live version from a few years ago, he is heavily pitch corrected and effected on the high notes. ua-cam.com/video/0QWdVHD-uEA/v-deo.html
This film got to me. How old was I? I was 8 years old. Ted Neeley was the best performance for Jezus I have ever seen, this role was on to his soul and his voice mighty. The whole film resonated to my soul. My brother handed me the LP over to me for my birthday. Somehow he knew I was fan of this film I saw in school. No film can beat this plot, this music,those emotions. Thank you Ted Neeley, (and the whole crew) for inspiring so many people. This from the Beloved Companion (The complete gospel of Mary Magdalene by Jehanne de Quillan) , Myriam out of Belgium.
I'm an atheïst. My friend next door wasn't. At eleven years old, she wanted to go and watch Jesus Christ Superstar for her birthday, at the movies. Video didn't even exist. My parents debated. They decided it was ok for me to go. So I went. Of course it was overwhelming for an eleven year old.
I'm 61 now and still an atheïst, more then ever, actually.
Even my father, who died in 2017, could not deny the music was compelling; as soon as I had the money, I bought the album. There was one song on it that he liked, and that was Jesus' visit to Herodes, because of the charleston-based music and the characters sarcasm. But as we both grew older, he finally admitted that all the films songs were great and when he was 75, we finally watched the whole movie together. I still know every lyric and all the details. At my end I started listening to the Mattheüs Passion by Bach. Un-comparable, of course. But still. Both very impressing.
Glad to see Ted Neeley still alive and still a strong voice.
Of course I liked Judas best. Best voice. Best performance.
I will pray for you, that you find the TRUTH.
At his age, that smooth rise from one knee.... as remarkable as his hitting those notes...
It's not just your voice, but your eyes and amazing expression that makes you such a great performer.
Oh my goodness this is amazing. Mr. Ted Neeley, NO ONE can play Jesus like you! I grew up watching this movie & I have it on DVD. I JUST missed you in Pittsburgh at the Benedum & I’m so disappointed 😢 At age 80, you absolutely “still got it”. Please come back again! ❤️🙏🏻
How is this even possible?! His performance as Jesus is truly incomparable
Even after 50 years…the goose bumps, chills, and yes, the tears are in full force. Very few people can bring forth such emotion from a performance. You can, Ted, and always could. Thank you.
The power of those high notes piratically knocked me out of my seat. Backed by great orchestration, the perfectly synched original film, and the quiet tribute to Carl Anderson, this was an incredible performance.
Thank you so much, Mr. Ted Neeley, for continuing to moving us so beautifully for over 50 years. Your talent is as blessed as it is unbelievable.
This just sent me back 50 years. This was the greatest explanation of the story of the life of Jesus that I had, and have, ever seen. I saw the movie first and it all finally made sense to me. Then, of course, I had to have the album (which I still have). When the stage production came to Portland, my Grandma bought us tickets and we went and saw it live. I always wondered why Ted Neely never became famous for other work. But I guess when you've been Jesus, you can't really ascend any higher...
His voice and how he portrayed the characters of Jesus are incredible and still after 50 years this passage of the film brings tears to my eyes. I'm glad I digitized the album. Thank you Ted Neely for this impressive film ❤
Your voice still gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears just like it did 50 years ago. I can’t count the number of times I’ve listened to you sing Gethsemane and I’m always awed by your voice.
Tenía yo 12 años 😮y salí de un cine traspuesta 😮han pasado 41 años y me sigue moviendo 😮a quien haga la cuenta tengo 63 😅
This man changed my life. I am agnostic, I never cared too much about religion, but the first time I watched Jesus Christ Superstar I was completely speechless. It was the first time I actually felt an overwhelming empathy for Jesus as a man with principles, so full of love and understanding, yet so human, with his own conflict of the mind and tragically abandoned by his own people...
This song, this interpretation moves mountains. I can never watch it without crying and reflecting on everything. I was never the same after watching it for the first time for sure. Thank you forever Ted Neeley.
That's exactly how I feel too.
Hermosas palabras hermano !
The world needs a re-release of Jesus Christ Superstar to remind us of what He gave for us. Today’s world desperately needs a newly renewed sense of direction.
AMEN AMEN AMEN
Yes
Yes
They need to release the original with Ian Gillan as Christ
I wish they would!!!!
That was amazing, Ted! In many ways, your performance is even more powerful today, reflecting the deeper understanding of your 50 years of reflecting on this timeless story and its meaning. Thank you for sharing your gifts!
Ted Neeley, Thank you for everything! I watched JCS as a teenager in the 80s and my life has never been the same. You were my introduction to what Jesus acted like, looked like, mannerisms, everything. I have watched the movie probably 30 times; always at Christmastime when I think of the Savior. Your life's work has been of the highest cause changing millions of lives.
Once I heard this song in the early nineties, being a 13 year old boy, I fell in love with JCSS. Now I'm 46, still love this music... this voice. TN, you are the only Jesus for me!
I good song to remind us that Jesus, the son of God, was still a man and knows and understands our pain in this life.
This song will ALWAYS be my favorite scene in JCSS! Ted’s depiction of Jesus was spot on and this song is his crowning glory! His soulful, hauntingly beautiful voice and his masterful perfect delivery STILL takes my breath away! I feel every word of this song while he’s singing! BRAVO Ted!! 🥹♥️👏🏾🔥🙏🏾☦️
There will never be anyone that could sing that part better than him. His singing transcends all generations.
Agreed. He and Carl Anderson can't be topped.
Steve Balsamo is bloody amazing in the roll. His Gethsemane is STUNNING. To me, Ted Neeley and Steve Balsamo share the equal rights to the roll. It is like the roll of Dr. Frank'N'Furter from Rocky Horror, Tim Curry and David Bedella are both equally STUNNING in the roll as Frank.
Guess you never heard the original with Ian Gillan...
Ian Gillian is best.
Ian Gillan, who the role was written for was superior in my opinion. Ted should get on his hands and knees and thank Ian for giving him a career.
I was 15 years old when I saw Jesus Christ Superstar. As an Atheist, I do love this song, it brings good memories of my aunt who died recently.
Unbelievable album movie changed my life I've love this movie sooo much seen in 73 I could go on stage and sing it word for word!! At 75. And I'm a shy person BORN TO PLAY JESUS!! TED NEELEY REST OF CAST FANTASTIC. NEED TO SHOW ON TV WE NEED IT!! ANDREW LYODD WEBBER BRILLANT !!!
I was lucky enough to see Ted Neeley and the late Carl Anderson in a 1997 fantastic JCS performance at the Saroyan Theatre, Fresno CA.💞Unforgettable.
i saw them both in los angeles
I saw them both in Dallas!
Me too! Champaign Illinois. Unforgettable performance.
I saw them/met them in Florida.
My fave singers!☆♡☆♡
I had the pleasure of catching a performance in San Francisco in 1973. Still remember it. ❤️
I was on YT last night and ran across this song. I had never really even listened to Jesus Christ Superstar and I even grew up when it was made, I am so ashamed to even say that. I got chills listening to it. He puts his heart and soul into this song. It is amazing. This is his song. I have always loved Andrew Lloyd Webber's works. This is a great song for Easter since this is Good Friday. What a voice, amazing.
Every time I watch I go back to my childhood and remember how I felt watching this movie for the first time,
I cried when I when I saw this at age 15 and I still cry today. So powerful!
This role was made for only you Ted! ♥️ Bravo 👏 👏
какое проникновение в образ!браво!
Mr. Neeley... You were one of my earliest introductions to the Lord... Your voice is still the same and still stirs something in my heart. Thank you!
I was born 1973 and brought up on this music and Mr Neeley you can still bring me to tears 50 years on. You are amazing Sir x
ed is blessed with a screaming guitar of a voice and we’re blessed that he can still hit these unsingable notes at his age. Thank you, Ted. Loved your voice when I was eight and singing Gethsemane from my apartment balcony with my friends.
Most of the real high notes in this version are overdubbed from the 1970 movie. However, the rest of his performance is still spectacular especially for a man in his 80s.
Mr. Neeley, Bravo. I saw this movie when it came out in the 1970's. I also saw you and the crew live at the local theatre centre in the 1990's. I remember some women were crying and didn't want to leave. I thank you for your part in what you have done to enlighten others.
I was 12 in 73 when I saw this in the theater for the first time. The high G still gives me chills. Thank you Ted and the whole cast.
My parents had cable when it first came available in early 70s. This masterpiece was one of the movies that was continuosly shown commercial free! Watched it I don't know how many times as a preteen. Amazing every time, then and now 50 years later!
RIP Norman Jewison. My Deepest Condolences to Ted, Family, Friends, and Fans. A Huge loss. So very Sad. God rest his Dear Soul, Norman Jewison.
He directed the film version of JSC and he directed the film version of Fiddler on the Roof.
Absolutely awe inspiring. Ending with the silent tribute to Carl Anderson was so lovely. Everything about Ted Neely just leaves me speechless. Everyone should watch the video of the cast reunion with Norman Jewison. So many beautiful people have given us a film for the ages in JCSS, and Ted Neely is a reminder that his gift is his great talent and his generosity. Can't stop crying.
So grateful to be able to say I lived to see Ted Neeley perform this live at the Universal Amphitheater twice. Ted you been been a huge gift to musical theater and to the world. We are blessed to share this time on earth with you, brother.
You are so lucky ❤
I'm in tears! You are, and always will be, our Jesus! Thank you for such a gorgeous rendition!
I saw this when I was a sophomore in high school and loved it ❤ I'm 67 now and still love it.
I'm really glad I saw this video today especially because it's Palm Sunday 2024. We as a family will be watching the 1973 film together next Sunday on Easter and I'm really looking forward to it. I was only 12 when it came out and I must've sang that entire film soundtrack album every day the first couple of years, lol. I was floored to hear Ted still hitting those soul splitting high notes at 80 yrs old. Very moving. Bravo & thank you, Mr Neeley. 🥹
The passion and emotion he conveys have taken my breath away since i can remember. This song and particularly his stunning performance literally got me out of depression at one point, the way his portrayal of Jesus surrendered to his fate helped me to accept my circumstances at the time. Ted really channels something spiritual and i'm thankful for him.
Saw him performing in Rotterdam about 7 years ago. Awesome....mindblowing...his voice doesn't seem to age ❤
Imposible no emocionarse escuchando ésta canción.
Eres y siempre serás leyenda Sr Neeley
Gracias por tantos años, gracias por tu increíble voz .
Desde Spain, una admiradora de ésta magistral película❤💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Camilo Sesto lo superó
Masterpiece today and yesterdays…… no truer words or vocals ever to be heard. Thank you Mr Neely. Goosebumps literary, goosebumps.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unbelievable. I met Ted in Kitchener back in 2007, and was very kind and patient with all that wanted to meet him. Myself included. He's still singing as great as ever. This clip proves it.
OMG! I'm sitting her and just got chill bumps all over. This was magnificent. I've been listening to JCS since I was 13 and I'm 66 now. This was out of this world. Thank you Ted. I do not know how you hit those notes at your beautiful age and the emotion you packed in - I felt it from my head to my toes! ❤
After 50 years of those vocal arrangements Nr Neeley can still hit those high notes as perfect as if it was his first time God gave him a wonderful and perfect instrument with that voice. God bless you Mr. Neeley
I'm in tears while watching this. It's always been my favorite scene, but this performance is beyond superb. Ted, your voice has gotten richer with time. Absolutely show-stopping rendition. Thank you for 50 wonderful years. 🥰
Hauntingly gorgeous vocals by the still amazing Ted Neeley ! The emotion and his talent gives me chills !!!
I am so grateful and proud that Ted got to do this. Such a brilliant and inspiring person!
Wow! I am absolutely transported to the moment when I saw this movie for the first time, in the 70's. Admirable Ted, who continues to play Jesus. Your impeccable voice!!!
That was awesome, He still sounds great.
Would love if they released a 50th anniversary DVD with special features and interviews from the actors ❤
Yeah that would be super cool! Are you listening Hollywood?😊
They are on strike. So no they are not listening
God!!!!! That scream!!!
In my opinion, Mr Ted, you're the best performer of this caracter in the Superstar history. I'm such a fan of yours. Bless you, always.
YOU ROCK!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man, I almost cry. 😭😭😭
Forget it... i'm in tears now. 😅😢

Ted Neeley was the best person for this role, and nobody has come near his performance. I wish that id been able to see him perform in the stage show. He just moves me every time i hear it.
He is just incredible! His voice....his heartfelt emotion. He just is so close to what I imagine Jesus to be like. Thank You Ted Neeley. You were blessed with incredible talent.
Wow. Beautiful song. Presents how he may have felt. Understandable. Best song in the movie. Thank you Ted.❤ And Webber.
This is the only song in the whole world, in my whole life that makes me cry like a little baby!!! thank you Mr Neeley for that still powerful voice and perfect performance!
Jesus definitely moves through Ted, when my faith has wavered it has been brought back through Ted.. he is one of his chosen disciples.
I'm crying! Honest to God stuffy nose, tears running down my face crying! I was 12 years old when this film came out. To this day I have no idea why my mother decided to take me, but I was spellbound. This was the first album I ever bought myself. Memorized every song, wept every time. Played that album to pieces and got another one. Watching this video was a pure gift. All I can say is thank you, thank you so much!
❤ No one can touch Ted Neeley talent, skills, carisma and presence. Our beloved Texan it’s the greatest for this Theater masterpiece. We love ❤ you Ted!
Absolutely awesome still to this day- you Ted, and Carl Anderson moved a generation. Thank you
Ted well you did it again to me, you made me cry. This was so beautiful and it puts me closer tp God ,just listening to this! when you hit these high notes, it was like listen to something from heaven . i was like YESSSSSSSS! Thank you Ted for keeping to your faith and your faith in God. it made you into the beautiful and nicest person today! Ted because of this , you move people in the very best way possible, on the pathway to God. please continue to be an inspiration to all. love ya my brother!
Ted still hits that high note like it was yesterday…Outstanding! JCS my favorite musical of ALL time and I’m 70.
One of my Mom’s favorite musicals. She loved musicals her whole life. Thank you Lord for this blessed memory of my best friend and beautiful Mothers. ❤❤❤
This Canadian woman has loved you since 1973! I saw JCS 8 times in the theatre, I bought the soundtrack and drove my Mom nuts, played it until I memorized every single word. I still know every single word. Bought the VHS tape, the DVD, the 8 track and cassette tapes, I was obsessed! 6:50 Ted, thanks for this gift you have given to myself and the world. Will always love you and your amazing voice! ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦🥰❤️🇨🇦
Te puedes dar la mano conmigo ❤
I was just like you, I bought the soundtrack and memorized all the songs. It always amazes me that I saw the movie in the seventies when it first came out. Years later it has become one of my daughter’s favourite movie and she has also memorized all the songs that she watched on DVD.
I remember 50 years ago when I was the 3rd caller on a radio station and won the record of Ted Neely in Jesus Christ Superstar, but I was not old enough without my parent's permission but bought it a year later and my mom listened to it and she said I should have gotten it sooner. I told her about the radio contest and she didn't know what to say. She took me to see the movie the next time it was on. Loved Ted's voice then, and he sounds just as good now. Wish they'd have it on for Easter. Would love to see it again.
Aww we Love you Ted. I’ve heard this hundreds of times yet it still moves me to tears 💖
I got to hear Mr. Neeley sing my favourite musical live in 2017.
I wasn't even born in 1973.
Thank you.
OMG! That was the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time! I met him at one of his screening events as a VIP so got to hold his hand while he sang that song on screen. Something I'll never forget. I had no idea he still had that voice. Ted is a Treasure!!!
I was 8 years old in 1973. My older sister played the album a lot and some of the music scared me. For some reason this video appeared in my feed and I’m so happy at what I have just witnessed and how pleasing it is to my ears. I’ve listened to this every day for a week. Thank you for this. Bravo!
Каждый раз, когда слушаю Теда, то сердце разрывается. Он не просто поет-он проживает эти моменты вместе с Иисусом. Живи еще долго, Тед Нили!
WOW!!!!!! My All-Time favorite Musical, you are a true Champion!!!!!!! Absolutely love this song!!! Much appreciation and respect from Rochester NY USA ❤❤❤❤
