Ian Gillan-Gethsemane (I only want to say)
The Ian Gillan version of Gethsemane from the original 1970 concept album of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice rock opera: Jesus Christ Superstar. Due to controversy over the musical's content, Rice and Webber were forced to make a concept album before they could even dream of turning this into a stage musical. Original cast members included Ian Gillan (Jesus), Murray Head (Judas), as well as Yvonne Elliman (Mary Magdalene) and Barry Dennen (Pilate) who would go on to reprise their roles in the 1973 film version starring Ted Neeley (Jesus) and Carl Anderson (Judas). "Jesus Christ Superstar" follows the last days of Christ as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. It is not meant in any way to be a statement regarding religious opinions, and never claims to be historically accurate or true to its source material. Rather, it is an enticing and rich musical set to the backdrop of extraordinary events, and features some damn good music.

I've never listened before this Gillan's version of 'Gethsemany'..i'm a little stirred...after more than 35 years, this is yet a spine-chilling performance!

Wow...I checked out this video not expecting Gillan's voice to be as good as Neely's. I was very, very wrong!

Both of you guys should get jobs and move out of Mommy and Daddy's basement. Lose your virginity for Christ's sake.

very well said, YOUR opinion. if someone else likes Neeley better let him be;) not everybody has the same taste.

Yes, thin and powerless, or strong and powerful. If any producer prefers thin and powerless, then they should be fired. Doesn't it speak volumes to you that all of the producers of the movie and lloyd webber and tim rice wanted Gillan for the movie and the stage production above everybody else? Even after Neeley filled in for Fenholt in the 71' production, they still asked Gillan to come back 3 years later in 73'. They did not want Neeley for it, and rightly so in my opinion.
