since this is perhaps the day where the average citizen thinks about jesus christ superstar at the basal level i do all year long here are some things to be aware of
first of all the fact that the indigo girls and friends covered THE ENTIRE SHOW in 1995 (lesbians, we love jesus christ superstar!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0QjIiO2FeE&list=PL01515E34155D47E1&index=1">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
also the OG spanish language camilo sesto version IS amazing as LMM cites, cranks up the synth to great effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoi8ljuyc3U&list=PL5D52CC59B62A204A">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
also i& #39;ve always been a big fan of the metal-ness of the dutch version e.g. sandwiching "could we start again please" in the middle of the 39 lashes in "trial before pilate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bhG8te7dcQ&list=PLClaNSOW-4J3S1kBXh179ZIWS28lgJpAK&index=14">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
