Comments: Said to be the "Holy Grail" of JSC shows, the cast list for this is something special, with two of the original artists, plus two better known for other things. Irene Cara (from the movie Fame) and Dennis De Young (from the rock band Styx.) This outstanding recording features the complete show, although some of the tracks are titled differently from other versions. Cast: Jesus - Ted Neeley, Judas - Carl Anderson, Mary - Irene Cara , Pilate - Dennis DeYoung , Annas - Danny Zolli |

Comments: Missing the first ("Overture") and last songs ("Crucifixion" / "John 19:41") from the shows and with some hiss throughout, this is a otherwise a pretty good soundboard recording of the show that was done either without an audience or with closed microphones as there is no audience noise at all. Cast: Larry Friedman - Jesus, Carl Anderson - Judas |

DVD |
Tech Details: NTSC, Full screen / 4:3, 106 mins, NO Song Chapters, NO Menu/s Comments: Multiple cameras shooting from different angles at the small stage on which all the action takes place, making this more of a rock concert than a standard musical. The show is, however, performed as if on a bigger stage, but using hand held microphones which limits the actors movements. The colour is a little washed out - possible from the venue lights and there is some tape wear evident throughout, although this main effects the very top and bottom of the picture only. Sound is very good, and probably soundboard in origin. NOTE: This DVD does not play on some stand alone players. |

Comments: This is one of the best recordings of Sebastian's appearance coming out as nearly clear enough to be soundboard in places. Not only that, but this is rated as one of Sebastian's best performances Plus you also get, the great Carl Anderson, (the original Judas on Broadway in 1971 and the movie) Cast: Jesus of Nazareth = Sebastian Bach, Judas Iscariot = Carl Anderson, Mary Magdalene = Natalie Toro, Pontius Pilate = Stephen Breithaupt, King Herod = Scott Allgauer, Simon Zealotes = Todd Fournier, Caiaphas = Lawson Skala, Annas = Jeffrey Polk, Peter = James Clow |

DVD |
Tech Details: NTSC, Full screen / 4:3, Dolby Digital, 101 mins, Chapters 5 mins Comments: Two single cameras filming from the balcony with the main one high up just off centre, and the other filming pretty much dead on but lower down. although later in the show appears to move further to the right with better lighting. However it is unclear if both were filming on the same night with most thinking that it was filmed, by the same person, on two nights and then mixed together. Most footage (around 80%) comes from the top camera which misses the very top of the stage until "Jesus Must Die" when the second camera is repositioned with a better view and the split is more even. There's a mixture of some very nice, and some quite sudden switches between the two. although the occasions when the footage from one is played over the other, is a little annoying. Sound is very good but, as it comes from one camera, does appear to leave some of the other footage appearing to be very slightly out of A/V sync... Other than that the picture and sound quality are really rather good. Cast: Sebastian Bach as Jesus of Nazareth, Carl Anderson as Judas Iscariot, Natalie Toro as Mary Magdalene, Stephen Breithaupt as Pontius Pilate, Peter Kevoian as King Herod, Todd Fournier as Simon Zealotes, Lawson Skala as Caiaphas, Jeffrey Polk as Annas, James Clow as Peter, ensemble - Apostles/Disciples, Zeyn Ali, Scott Allgauer, Eugene Barry-Hill, Christian Hoff, Lawrence Cummings, Vince Rimoldi, Noel Douglas Orput, Rocky Rodriguez, John B.
