Superstar (Carl Anderson) | Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) | TUNE

[@mikewayne4223]

Nobody does this better then Carl Anderson, RIP.

[@danieljames6230]

You are 100% right someone tried to tell me one of the later versions was better. Carl Had a voice that could never be touched!

[@qcislander]

Murray Head in the first Broadway cast did a better job by my lights... but that's just opinion, and this is (for a singer) a really big role and *both* of them were *incredible*.

[@danieljames6230]

@@qcislander No chance head does not have the control anderson does. or upper ranges as well. Head is good anderson is GREAT

[@TitanicHorseRacingLover]

Nope. Carl's the man.

[@chipwillis]

Had the chance to see Carl play Judas in 77 or 8 and again in the 90s a couple times. Always amazing and thankful.

[@DavidHenricks]

I could watch this 100 times. I actually have.

[@susanbuchser-lochocki20]

I'm not even a believer anymore and I love it... it's a great story it's a sad story.. it's also very timely right now

[@dazldazl68]

So have I! Its epic!

[@kathrynjordan8782]

Carl Anderson defined this role. There is nobody who could do this better than Carl Anderson. May he rest in peace. Such a good actor and vocalist.

[@danieledugre1837]

Carl was amazing. No other singer came close to such perfection!

[@lovesafrica111]

Only the top musical ever made.....and I'm not even religious......Vocals unsurpassed.

[@denisemcdougal6445]

Agreed

[@tony6896]

Same

[@jeanrocque-rr4ec]

This musical (at the time) made the teens and twenties re-think the whole concept of the dull, repeative stories we heard Sunday in & Sunday out. It brought it into focus for us. That can't be a bad thing!!!!

[@duncanluciak5516]

Guitars, even electric guitars and a drum kit were ok in church now.

[@denisemcdougal6445]

Agreed

[@Alexander.dallas]

Carl was an AMAZING vocalist! My mom had the soundtrack from jcst on lp back in the 80's and I almost wore it out

[@Caine7ify]

What sells the song is when Carl looks around when he sings “such a strange land”, as if he’s actually there.

[@coralinebaksteen9791]

Just thinking the same. Great singer/actor RIP.

[@mokshababe]

They did film in Israel

[@deansusec8745]

dude, they WERE in Israel

[@jungleboots]

Dude, this was a looong time before CGI. They WERE there. Smh.

[@jackierosas9593]

Newer film adaptations of musicals really must take note of this film. The camera is so alive and intimate but then we get these grand sweeping shots of the set then cut to Jesus. It's amazing.

[@AnimalisMD]

I got to see Carl and Ted Neeley (Jesus in the movie) do JCS on stage- front row center... Even 20 some years after the movie they were both awesome!!!❤❤

[@Morhek]

This musical did more to rehabilitate Judas's image than 2000 years of Biblical scholarship.

[@burnicevereide2116]

Greatest rock opera ever made

[@jasonpaz]

I went to Cathiolic school and our nun loved this musical and forced us to watch this in the 90s. I thought it was so lame but today...i really do appreciate it. We partcularly thought this scene was hilarious

[@MrSilva960]

Harmony never be a lame, rock & blues never die !

[@maggiew.2809]

Great story. I went to Catholic School but before you. I doubt we would have seen this. I think she was probably trying make the story more contemporary and real. Good on her.

[@MsDana-mo9fp]

Went to Catholic Schools, too! Was in 5th Grade when Godspell came out & everyone thought it was a joke, & then Jesus Christ Super Star came out & then people thought about how wonderful it was!

[@Ruger22cal]

i went to catholic high school at mt. st. joe xaverian brother catholic school in baltimore city, md and admittedly, our religion teacher had us watch this. i will never forget the vocals of carl anderson in the beginning number. incredibly powerful.

[@janvan75]

For 50 years this is one the songs that pops up in the mind ,out of nowhere ,at a beautifull sunset ,in the dessert, or in trouble ,it is there

[@matthewkuchinski1769]

After seeing this movie for the first time in its complete form, I can say without doubt that this has become one of my favorite movies!

[@burnicevereide2116]

The first time I saw it it was the very first time they had aired on television. This will forever be the image of Jesus that I know him to be.. I was eight when they made this 50 years later it's still chokes me

[@debbiestyer453]

Absolutely the best...Carl... heaven on their mind brilliant!

[@darkangel_1978]

This movie is a tradition on the maternal side of my family. My Mom showed this to my brother and I (I loved it, he didn't). My Mom and her 3 sisters know the movie and the soundtrack. My cousin Heather and I love this movie, and plan to show it to our kids (she has 5 girls, I have a daughter and son).

[@franklesser5655]

He defined this role!

[@Teenibash1969]

Just saw this today at the Kings Theatre in Glasgow. Oh my gosh, left me speechless 😮

[@cathyrainey6176]

Years ago I made my son watch this. He now has my album and loves the music.

[@UTAHbilly]

Saw this film when I was a freshman high schooler. Over the next two weeks I wrote out the music and lyrics - that's how important it was for me. My wife and I were fortunate to see Ted Neeley perform JCS in Salt Lake City on his last tour. It was an extraordinary and outstanding show. - Hunter

[@kishannaconandoyle1907]

St Peter's never tired to listen to Carl sings in heaven

[@juggled1973]

I hugged the man after a jazz concert he gave at Alexanderplatz in Rome, I think it was late 90s, can't remember exactly when. But the very moment... well that I'll cherish forever in my heart.

[@susanborkenhagen58]

I love everything about this film, costumes, choreography, songs, sets, etc. The Glam atmosphere is so cool. I have this album (from when my mom and dad had it) and every year I'd losten to it as an Easter tradition. Now I have the film and ot is my Easter tradition to watch it... like I do with the albums and their films from Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving and Rocky Horror on Halloween.

[@bestcoastsxmcp]

Best rock opera ever. ❤

[@Lil_legend217]

this peak 70's

[@karenmenze6754]

This was a brilliantly done masterpiece throughout. The dancers are also extraordinary in every scene. The symbology- sometimes quietly sometimes loudly- bringing emotion and insight was phenomenal.

[@Estr4nged90]

best musical ever, im back few minutes ago from sistina theater in rome. I saw this show live almost 25 times and i know people who saw it 230 times, These year there isnt ted neeley for the first time. jesus was lorenzo licitra and I cried during Gethsemane, an amazing voice

[@nancyharman4795]

This is powerful on just my smart phone! Wish i could have seen the film on the big screen!

[@yannickelee1829]

It was amazing! My cool parents took us to see this as kids.

[@angellover02171]

I kinda love that the Demons, Judas, and the Angels are all wearing white. In other versions of JCS, Judas and the Demons are wearing the same colors. Sometimes, there is an inversion of colors all where both groups wear the same colors, but one color is dominant on one group, and another color is dominant on the other. I think why all of them are wearing white, which is to symbolize Jesus is the son of God, and he will be born again.

It was a conscious and controversial choice in a very different time. It didn’t mean what you probably think.

[@c.a.t.732]

@@folioio What does it mean?

[@PADARM]

Judas in this version is not the "bad" guy. He just thought that Jesus was drawing so much attention it would get them all killed, even Jesus, and he was right.

[@pgs1796]

With respect I think you are missing the point. Judas here is the 'modern' audience's POV saying the sort of things that must have occurred to them many times when hearing Christ's story and thinking why there, why then?
