Dennis Firmger Thanks!

[@stwads]

I don't think Neil Hubbard is featured on this one. He joined the Grease Band a couple of years later!

Only 1 guitar ( McCullough) and Stainton only plays piano on this.

[@wolfunplugged]

great, I didn't know that there was such a version, too!

[@nickc7308]

This is featuring the grease band, Alan Spenner on bass. They recorded the original Jesus Christ Superstar around this time. Great find, been looking for this!!!!

[@FinalCurve]

Amazing version! Thank you!!

[@melvynpinto2384]

the mans a genius. Heard him in Boston on 1st Aug last year. Still as good as Woodstock 69

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Joe had this sort of ancient voice I love ...

[@stalkingwolf1954]

@oeyv1, Thanks again , youve made my decade!!! Stay Cool!!

[@VultCult]

Amazing. And I thought the live version I've heard all these years with him singing it a half step higher sounded good. Imagine my surprise to find this version a whole step up.

[@chillertheater]

@Vult Cult Yes, I wonder why they raised the key. It doesn’t sound like he’s very comfortable in it. I also always wondered why Leon Russell raised “Something” for the Mad Dogs tour; once again it didn’t sound like Joe felt too good singing it that high.

[@stwads]

@@chillertheater My thoughts exactly. Joe appears to be straining his voice on "Something" on the Mad Dogs tour, whereas on other live versions his soulful voice & beautiful phrasing are to the fore! He was much better off with The Grease Band!

Just amazing what a classic ;)
