Ian Gillan - 'Gethsemane' (I Only Want To Say) - Jesus Christ Superstar - REMASTERED PROMO CLIP

The only surviving footage of Ian Gillan, performing JCS. I remastered it for 16/9 and resynced it. Unfortunately the material is only i.a. 02.40 min long, so it ends after the high scream. There is a version from 2017 on Youtube that is longer, but they justed restarted the video from the first verse and put it - out of sync - to the audio.

Literally the best song ever. No one can ever top it like Ian does.

It’s so moving and heartbreaking…everytime I listen to his rendition I get shivers

One of Gillans most amazing performance Gillan are the real Jesus

Finally, a video of the real Ian Gillian singing this signature song. Bravo Ian, this is all you. Beautifully, powerfully sung, yet the lyrics flow out of your lungs and heart and lips and entire being like butter, or Amrita- the nectar of the gods.

Still listens to this till today/2021!!

One the best Gillan vocals recorded.
Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green were planning a musical production based on the life of Christ before Jesus Christ superstar.

Thanks for posting, got to see him perform this live as a teenager...it was beyond impressive!

Aloha, this is FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting. Ian Gillian is the best singer in the World, in my humble opinion. No one can sing this song as well as he does because he invented that high pitch scream at the top and it is impossible to copy it. I love that man so much, he managed to stay humble through Deep Purple, Sabbath and now Solo. He’s a truly great human being. Luv u, Ian.

The Best of The Best! Браво!!! Лучше просто никто и никогда....

[TheDeepPurplePodcast]

Fantastic! Thank you for cleaning this up!

[marccardiff]

This is awesome, great work. Might I suggest doing another version which includes the rest of the song? Even if it is just a black screen, to me it would be more satisfying.

Much better spanish version (Getsemaní by Camilo Sesto)

[theworldisavampire]

He couldn't act though. He didn't have the charisma

[Music]

If it wasn't for Deep Purple Ian would have been in the movie with that being said him and Ted are the cream of the crop
