I got to see Ted as Jesus on tour maybe 15-20 years ago. He was still hitting all of the notes perfectly! What a gift he has!

[@MLBFCollection]

Honestly might be the best version of JCS It has BOTH the added movie songs, most of the movie cast, the original Temple lyrics, the better order of Then We Are Decided after Everythings Alright which flows much better and doesn't grind the show to a halt And the audio is far better than the sloppy soundtrack mix This is brilliant

1) This was the first record I bought with my own money [Columbia House]. 2) I was Caiaphas in FLCO's 1976 production at the same time, my first lead outside school! [I've also done Herod and Pilate] 3) So so so lucky that these Priests got to do Then We Are Decided. 4) Anderson and Neeley is stunning - in top form - and Ted is sublime on Poor Jerusalem. 5) Wow! Just how FAST were those opening numbers? What's the rush, lol? 6) I finally got to meet Ted recently. One of the nicest humans on earth! 7) My daughter is blessed enough to be in the cast of the JCS 50th Anniversary Tour. This show is in our genes...

[@tdata545]

I feel like this is the closest I've found to the one I grew up on as a child. I don't know. Spotify has disgusting remastered ones that just destroyed the bass and boom of every track so, it's been hard to find them. And I was pretty sure, the Judas in our version was black. Nothing against Murray Head, he's great, but this guy has the right boom to his voice.

[@personaldiscoverychannel]

I attended one of the showings in Santa Barbara in 1976, which I am not sure, I believe it was at the Santa Barbara bowl, but not sure. I was 15. We'd gotten free tickets from one of the kings who was a friend of the family. I remember being in the front row with a classmate, with our feet up on stone lined planter below the stage. We were the only ones in that row. I don't remember there being many people there, quite empty of people frankly, it makes me wonder if it was a dress rehearsal? I remember it being daytime. My mom who was a pusher of the theater when I was a kid, we had season tickets to the big LA theaters, has passed. So can't ask her. Would love to know which performance that was, and if it was at the bowl? Or at another Santa Barbara venue? I was delighted to find this live recording of the music, and a link to its origin on another website with more info. We had the album, I loved it and the play. Epic play. Thanks for posting this.

[@FreedomforHaiti]

I saw it, too, fall '76. I was only eight or nine. It was an outdoor amphitheater in Santa Barbara, definitely at night.(Maybe it was a rehearsal you saw?) It was crowded. I remember overhearing remarks by other audience members after the play ended and everyone was leaving. "In the movie, you see him [Jesus] walking off with lambs," said an elderly lady. We were from L.A./Pasadena and drove up to Santa Barbara for the weekend just to see it. We already knew Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson were going to be in it--and when we arrived we found out Yvonne Elimann would be in it, too! Still have my program. Years later I noticed that some children in the cast went on to be well-known, including Eric Stoltz.

[@personaldiscoverychannel]

@@FreedomforHaiti I think it was a dress rehearsal. It was during the day. We got tickets from a graduate of Camarillo High School, California, who played one of the Kings, his name, Glover. What a powerful experience for a fifteen year old. Still light up when I hear the music.This was 76, original cast.

[@FreedomforHaiti]

@@personaldiscoverychannel I just got out my old program, and it mentions a Mark Glover as "third priest."His credits to that point included Godspell, Wizard of Oz, and Once Upon a Mattress. He had been a guest lecturer in Oral Interpretation at UCLA and Pepperdine and was a 1976 winner of the National Speech Tournament in Chicago. He was starting to appear in movies.

Amazing to hear this again 45 years later! A few parts differ from what I remember. For example, I remember Herod saying, "You're a joke you're not the lord, you're nothing but a Ford! Oh, drive him away he's got nothing to say..." I'm guessing the production may have evolved some after this recording. Also, I don't think I've ever seen a staging of JCS with Then We Are Decided included, but it's in this soundtrack.
