Jeeeeeeeeeesus, from the moment I sawwwwwwwwwwwwww youuuuuuuuuuu

Have we discussed this yet? Starring David Hemmings as Bertie Wooster!

I saw this last night for the first time. I grew up with the album, but avoided ever watching the movie because I'd always heard it was terrible. It's ropey for sure, but it has some exceptional scenes and they did a lot with a non-existent set, the dancing is great, the framing device with the bus works very well. I felt terrible for Judas running all over the damn desert. I'm still not sold on Neely's Jesus vocals and his face never expresses the amount of emotion his singing evinces. Given that this was written as a concept album and not a play, I'm not surprised there have been lots of unsatisyfing stagings.

as per the revive of the other thread,

Jesus Christ Superstar - classic or dud?

i have recently fallen hard for this.
mainly the film soundtrack to be honest.
i have a very lo-fi version of the orig concept album,
but i think i still prefer the film soundtrack.

ok,
i succumbed and got the 2012 remastered edition of the original album.
it is rather bloody wonderful.
as i said, i have fallen hard for this ..

It's a wonderful thing to fall for

matt berry (yes that one) and brian kehew did the remaster btw... they are working on the film soundtrack now.
