Carl Anderson Today Show

No one has ever EVER been (sang) a better Judas than Carl Anderson

[@iancollins3991]

Murray Head did

[@nthdegree1269]

Carl Anderson was the best. In the one from the movie. Emotional, you can hear the stress and anguish in his voice. Unbelievable

[@iancollins3991]

@@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.

[@nthdegree1269]

@@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.

[@iancollins3991]

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.

[@rosiesummer2711]

He is so beautiful even live. He was cast as the perfect Judas. Ted and Carl had such strong chemistry together.

[@tose917]

Rosie Summer - they were best friends too.

[@rochestra]

They were the "Lennon/McCartney" of Jesus Christ Superstar!

[@denisecanan3215]

I got the pleasure of seeing Ted and Carl in 97!!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Carl Anderson is legendary.

[@Wishchrono]

I see your taste in music is as good as your training programs :P

[@luismarioavendano5167]

INDEED

[@tuberobotto]

Oh yes he is, and was.

[@brianreardon7700]

100% love Carl

[@nathanwall7567]

Guitarist: We're going to mess with the tempo to confuse Carl. Carl: Hold my beer.

[@ElGuayo]

For real, that guitarist butchered the main riff so bad.

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Best comment.

[@RanjitSouri-PinkFloydPiano]

Hahahahahahaha!!! You nailed it!

[@mikicoal]

Pretty sure they rehearsed (though apparently not enough). They obviously had time constraints so pulled a Focus "Midnight Special".

[@jenniferlaynemusic]

RIGHT!!??? And at the bridge where the lyrics become so rapid... he didn't even blink an eye and his timing was impeccable

[@gapping3000]

Carl hasn't lost any tone from his voice. What a gift!!!

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

So incredible. What a legend he was rest in peace and thank you for your artistic gift and heartfelt art.

[@kulgan18]

He will always be my favorite Judas portrayal.

He's a master of playing with the rhythm.

[@SalvadorLosAngeles]

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.

[@jamuga60]

Lovely story.

[@d_no_allyn_86]

Wow that is so fuckin cool

[@gdragonstan]

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.🙏❤

[@Sebastian-qf2my]

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!

[@Richard234]

I had the good fortune of having Carl sing a few songs I co-wrote when I first moved to LA.

[@ashenpaul2318]

Very hard to watch anyone else in the role after Carl . . . Amazing!!

[@Pantechnicon]

Carl never lost his pipes. Wow...

[@fandangofilms]

[@TheRealAnswer23]

HOLY SHIT his voice was AMAZING his entire adult life!

[@elegidopropuesto3791]

Qué prodigio!

[@margaretbates556]

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.

[@davidwhite3180]

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.

[@stvtylilqt]

love love love. Carl Anderson had an incredible voice. May he Rest In Peace.

[@donovanw.2943]

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.

[@lori-ruggieriboucher1451]

He was amazing back in 1973 and is just as great in this show. Portrayed the best Judas in the movie. Amazing talent.

[@cliveedwards2958]

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

[@tired2Btired]

This should have millions of views..

[@GeneralG1810]

This is my favourite number from the show

[@anelou5082]

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...

[@ConshisKreetchurs]

Ive listened to a lot of performances, but no one sings it quite like Carl.

[@omtatsatnamaste4780]

No one sings this song better than Carl Anderson as puts so much of his heart into it.

[@arkangelblue]

Forever in my heart

[@DaHappyBuddha]

I would give anything to have seen Carl perform this live. Wow what an experience that must have been.

That's insane. This performance is a miracle :)

[@Joeyborduas]

rip what an amazing singer

[@ロウレズリー]

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。

[@johnamberg6786]

This guy was incredible!

[@deedershotwell5912]

Goosebumps always with his voice. I watch Jesus Christ superstar 4 to five times a month. But when I do it plays on repeat all day long.

[@Ladysensei]

I saw him perform back then at North Charleston Performing Arts Center, SC. He did not need a microphone!!! Astounding performance! RIP Carl Anderson

[@stvtylilqt]

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.

[@janeferraz413]

I love this guy! I listen to his singing every week. I will never get sick of it! 😍

[@MelancoliaI]

Everyone compliments his singing (as they should) but his acting as Judas was what really made him a success at the role

[@Toracube]

He had so much talent.

[@Kipfilet620]

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.

[@BartHartful]

That guitar player have somewhere he has to be ten minutes ago? Gawd...

[@seangriffin5967]

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.

[@divanymph]

Frozen Gumwad probably that fat because of tv and the time limit. It was fast but Carl worked it! FABULOUS performance

[@lashonay]

Frozen Gumwad Lol best comment
