axlslash Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I grew up listening to the original recording with Ian Gallen (Deep Purple) singing Jesus and loving it. I just recently (after a LONG search) downloaded a recording of the show with His Bazness singing lead. He is INCREDIBLE! He sings much more melodically than I expected. The only time he does the Skid Row-style growl/scream is in the Temple outburst scene, and he sounds GREAT the whole show. His voice really suits that music.Also, Judas is played by the guy who sang the Judas part on the original, so the opening Heaven on their Minds is chilling. A great show.Has anyone else heard or seen this show with Baz? Edited November 14, 2006 by axlslash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) No...but..I've got a bootleg or two that a friend recorded of Jekyl and Hyde...and it was the first time I'd heard him outside of Skid Row.I must say I was readily surprised!

Roses Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Ah I like that musical. Such typical Lloyd Webber, good fun. I think there's a tape lying about somewhere in my house which had Alice Cooper singing for that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 DimeADozen.org, but my guess is that it's not being seeded now. Shall I just post the whole show in a zip file?The rest of the cast is stellar as well. The lead roll of Judas is played by the legendary Carl Anderson (played Judas in the original allong side Deep Purple frontman Ian Gallen as Jesus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 One of my favorite albums of all time. The broadway version not the soundtrack. Carl Anderson unfortunatly died at the young age of 54 in 2004. Yvonne Elliman plays Mary. She is famous for touring and recording with Eric Clapton (I Shot the Sheriff and others). She had a big disco hit off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack called If I Dont Have You. Ian Gillan is amazing on this album. I don't think I have ever heard him sound better. Gethesthme is amazing. I have always wondered---There are guitar credits on the album for Stephen Vaughn----Is that Stevie Ray ? Whoever sings Pilate is great as well--I think it is Murray Head or something like that. Carl Anderson RIP----was an amazing singer. I saw a aniversery tour about 10 or 15 years ago with Ted Nealy (the orignal Jesus from the movie version), Carl Anderson, and Dennis DeYoung from Styx who played Pilate. It was at the historic Chicago Theatre and was an amazing show- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've heard great things about the tour with DeYoung but haven't found a recording yet. Anderson was AWESOME. If the credit on the album credits Stephen Vaughn, it aint SRV. He spells it Vaughan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the credit on the album credits Stephen Vaughn, it aint SRV. He spells it Vaughan.I don't know how it was spelled actually. Maybe it was him ? Any big fans that know what he was up to in the early 70's ?The guitar credit is actually Steve Vaughan. Whether it is him or not I don't know.

axlslash Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well that is interesting. Stevie would have been about 13 or so at the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
