Adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Broadway rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar" recounts the last days of Jesus Christ (Ted Neeley) from the perspective of Judas Iscariot (Carl Anderson), his betrayer. As Jesus' following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene (Yvonne Elliman).

Goosebumps every time I hear Ted Neeley sing. 💜

[martinlandis]

I've loved his performance every since I was a kid. No one else compares!

[Memecious]

Who else literally feels like YouTube is their best friend during Covid

[beverlyburch]

Best musical song ever caught on film. No one but Ted Neely could have pulled that off. Goosebumps

3:58 or so - I love how his demeanor changes. "....what you started. I didn't start it." And he speaks what we all know - it's a cup of poison that the indoctrinated drink.

Forgotten where this sing came from been so long since I heard it.
still stuck in my head.

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Ted and all the others were perfect, Carl Anderson, nobody else could ever sing like he did in JCS. I love Ian Gillan's version of Gethsemane as well. Their vocals are so absolutely amazing i'm still listening to them now.

Ted Neeley, nothing else! Simply the best.

[laurag.g.]

Ted Neeley is a-ma-zing!! This version is my fav. WOW.

[yomogami]

still the best version of the song and jesus imo. the singers in the newer versions just don't have ted neeley's range

[Sancho_Retablez]

Great and challenging song, the measure of a great singer, no matter if we talk about Ted Neeley, Camilo Sesto or Ian Gillan.

¿Han escuchado la interpretación del gran cantante español Camilo Sesto? Por supuesto, en español. Es MAGNÍFICA
Muchas gracias por los clips

[thomaswaits]

One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.

[pikeybot]

Honest they can't remake this film for this role alone. ..

[Wackymushrooms]

Now this is the Christian music I need

[erikpeterson]

Have not heard this in many years....💕❤

[IgnorancEnArrogance]

Why did you cut the first minute of the song?

[HaroldLambert-el]

I have watched this more then 50 times

[OGBoogs]

Even if you haven’t seen this movie in years, the lyrics are burned to your brain

[emperororthopox]

I can just imagine the apostles listening to this like damn Jesus is a Rock god
