Hi everyone. I am so pleased this has been posted. I was on stage as a cast member, the chorus master and , later, the Conductor of the theatre version. It was, and remains, the most incredible theatrical experience of my 40+ year career. I remember this appearance like it was yesterday.
Thank you for being there :) My parents took me to see it when I was 5yo, and the music from this has been my absolute favourite for most of my life. The only thing wrong was that my parents didn't tell me that they weren't actually crucifying John, and it terrified me as a kid, lol. But even now, I still have this entire album on usb in my car and love cranking it on long drives.
Fabulous! Hehe, I was 13 & snuck out of high school with a friend and travelled to one of the Brisbane performances in October 1992. Best night ever- good times! First musical I ever saw!
Me so sad these days, we had the best of everything music clean water great unadulterated food and sunshine and minimal drugs and just plain fun. Less violence and more love for each other.
@maidaursuladawn44glasgow3 YEAH-I'M GLAD I GOT TO ENJOY THESE YEARS.THINGS STARTED GOING BAD BEFORE COVID CAME NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH IT THERE'S NO RETURN TO THE GOOD DAYS OF FREEDOM.. SAD.
After hearing an interview with the cast of the 2013 remake I was inspired to view this. What MONSTROUS talent playing the key roles in this version. Kate Ceberano was and still is absolutely stunning and an incredible talent. Jon Stevens was and still has a voice that defies all attempts to categorise it into a specific genre of music. And John Farnham is simply a musical TITAN, and in my view a wonderful talent, one of the best that Australia has ever produced.
I think one of Kates best ever performances. Makeup, hair costume, choreography - everything on point And one of the most beautiful songs every written and she kills it
I saw the concert performance. I never forgot Farnham’s vocal tail off lick at the end his verse in this song.It was magical live. To discover this performance and hear that again after all these years put a smile on my face. Good onya Aussies
That moment you described was definitely magical. The timing was seamless between when John finished and Kate started. I felt some spontaneous tears well up at the beauty of that moment.
Kate, in this video clip you are the most beautiful woman ever seen on Australian television. I wish your mum had introduced me to you back in 1981//82. The whole performance is sublime.
I remember watching this on Hey Hey back in the nineties and it’s the best version I have ever heard of that song the whole show would of been amazing to see I wish I had of gone to see it live.John, Kate and Jon Steven’s back then were at their peak looking so handsome and delicious and the costumes were beautiful as well such great voices and above all their voices together were magic! ❤️
@@Ripeka11 for sure. New Zealand punches above its weight when it comes to producing gr8 artists especially when u consider its relatively small population.
can't help but applaud you for saying so much in such a concise, elegant, perceptive and delightful way. you have a real gift . that's the type of mind that creates slick ,efficient, not clunky software
I absolutely adored this musical! It was the first time I'd been to see anything live. I was 10 at the time and we bought the CD and I learnt the words to the entire thing from start to finish... lol. It was just incredible. Jon Stevens was my first ever crush... :)
I looked for this because I love Kate and needed to hear her voice but wow, Jon Stevens! I had totally forgotten the amazing power of his performance. Woah...
@Jon Stevens What do you stand to gain from pretending to be Jon Stevens? There are several huge clues in your message that you are a scammer. If the real Jon Stevens has something to say, I would be happy to respond.
It was and still remains the best JC Superstar production ever! I saw it in Brisbane and loved every minute of it!! I refuse to see any other production...have seen the best..forget the rest!
We had so many talented artists back in those days. There weren’t hundreds of thousands of young people trying to be singers and using autotune and just jumping up and down on stages. Someone said that Kate Perry will be singing at the grand final, my first thoughts were, why are we getting someone from another country to sing at OUR grand final. And I said surely we have got singers here in Australia that can sing at the grand final. And then it occurred to me that no, we no longer have singers, not like we did decades ago. Look at the talent in Jesus Christ superstar, Australia had very talented singers like Jo😊hn Farnham, Jon English, Olivia Newton-John, Daryl Braithwaite, Marcia Hines, John Paul Young, Brian Cadd, Jimmy Barnes and so many more. Now there’s hardly any. I find it sad and embarrassing that Australia has to get someone from overseas to sing at grand final. The same goes for mini series , shows and movies that we used to have in the 60s, 70s and 80s and into the 90s. We had talent producers and writers. When was the last time Australia put a good movie out? Movies like Crocodile Dundee and Australia with Nicole and Hugh. God, how I miss those years.
This is a brilliant cast….. best ever……. such awesome voices singing it out loud….. This was a great night's viewing, the family loved it….. a huge cast of Australian talent right there……. thanks for this one……. way to go
There are not enough words to describe this performance, as informal as it is supposed to be. Farnham is legendary as Jesus. Jon Stevens is bloody amazing although he appears to be not really wanting to be there when not singing but Kate Ceberano owns this performance. IMHO Kate is at the peak of her powers here - the performance is impeccable and so heartfelt - truly inspiring - and I would suggest that she was quite possibly the most beautiful lady in the world at that point.
I didn't see any of the early versions. Lucky you! I did get to see it in Sydney in 2013 with Tim Minchin as Judas, Ben Forster as Jesus, Mel C as Mary M, & even Jon Stevens as Pilate. Was an amazing show but I would have loved to have seen this one.
Little factoid- the original 'Linda' from "Round the Twist" is in the chorus- Tamsin West (she's sitting in the back in blue, leaning on the guy)! I also saw this when I was about 13 in Brisbane when they did this at the Entertainment Centre in the round- it was AMAZING!
I seen them in Brisbane too!!! I was only 16 at the time. I was obsessed with the soundtrack and the musical and thought Aussie did the best rendition!
alison247365 I dont know about a DVD as such, this particular show happened before DVDs were a thing, but...ive found Act 1 bere on TH-cam. You should be able to locate the rest of it in the videos listed below/next to, the playing window. th-cam.com/video/JhCCN_pRK7o/w-d-xo.html
I can’t think of a performance I’ve loved more than the one from these amazing Australian stars. Thank you Kate, Jon, John, we saw you in the round 30 years ago in Jesus Christ Super Star, it is something we treasure to this day ❤❤
First time I've came across this live version from hey hey. Brilliant from Kate ,John Stevens & John Farnham . First time I heard this I went straight out & bought the cassette single . Some American dude tryed telling me the Evonne Elliman version with 2 dudes I've never heard of is better than this . How amusing . Where are they now ? Amazing performance . From 3 great artists . Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘 15/1/2024😊😊😊
Great show, fantastic performers - what more could you ask for. Pity Hey Hey's not on TV any more. Bring this stage show back to Qld with the same musicians & I'll be there in a shot!!
The best version ever. Mesmerising Kate, powerhouse John, and Farnham is a vocal genius.
best rendition of this song ever, and in my opinion the best cast that has ever been had for Jesus Christ Superstar.
Totally right.
troy Turner agree150%
What about the CD?
Actually, continuing to listen to it..... It sounds almost exactly like the Studio version, on record and CD
Absolutely
@@ChristopherCraven have to get that one

Congrats mate - what an amazing experience. The reunion needs to happen

Wow ! ...Will... that is a massive accolade. Hats off and completely deserved!
Me too. I was there ❤
WHO REMEMBERS THESE DAYS ? 🎼🧡

AMAZING PERFORMANCE
I agree 100%
This version is sensational! The talent assembled is incredible! And it’s all Aussie! 🇦🇺
Stunning 👌
I think one of Kates best ever performances. Makeup, hair costume, choreography - everything on point And one of the most beautiful songs every written and she kills it
Probably the best ever version of this song ever recorded thoughout the world.
Kate C is absolutely stunning. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice....
Kate actually held it over 2of The best male voices in Australia!!
I saw the concert performance. I never forgot Farnham’s vocal tail off lick at the end his verse in this song.It was magical live. To discover this performance and hear that again after all these years put a smile on my face. Good onya Aussies

This cast was by far the BEST JCSS singers ever, in the history of forever for this musical
Absolutely brilliant talent Kate. Another underrated gem
Brilliant Aussie talent. Wish they'd do a reunion. Seriously want Kate's out fit. Really miss "Hey, Hey it's Saturday, too.
And New Zealand Maori talent 😉
@@Ripeka11 for sure. New Zealand punches above its weight when it comes to producing gr8 artists especially when u consider its relatively small population.
Steven's portrayal of Judas Iscariot was Brilliant!
2:52=2:54 John & Kate's voices blending together - perfection. Fantastic cast saw this live in Brisbane and I wish I could see it again.
Known Kate for decades! Very dear friend and an amazingly talented woman. xx
Kate was so stunning
30 years, hasn't been topped
Kate starts singing and yes "everythings all right" :)
can't help but applaud you for saying so much in such a concise, elegant, perceptive and delightful way. you have a real gift . that's the type of mind that creates slick ,efficient, not clunky software
I never knew how much I love Kate's voice...
She’s adorable
Jon Stevens has an amazing voice.
I absolutely adored this musical! It was the first time I'd been to see anything live. I was 10 at the time and we bought the CD and I learnt the words to the entire thing from start to finish... lol. It was just incredible. Jon Stevens was my first ever crush... :)
Hands down the best version of this show ever. I remember paying a fortune for the cd because it was an import, but it was worth every single penny!!
Was 9 when this came out .and had massive crush on Kate
wow just 3 powerhouse vocalists- Kates voice is especially satisfying and sooo in character
I saw this when I was like 11 or 12 and I wish there was a proper filmed version - still one of the best musicals I've ever seen live.
I looked for this because I love Kate and needed to hear her voice but wow, Jon Stevens! I had totally forgotten the amazing power of his performance. Woah...
He is amazing
@Jon Stevens , I’m guessing you’re not the real Jon Stevens ?
@Jon Stevens What do you stand to gain from pretending to be Jon Stevens? There are several huge clues in your message that you are a scammer. If the real Jon Stevens has something to say, I would be happy to respond.
Kate was amazing and perfect for this role ... Very rewatchable
God I miss Hey Hey its Saturday
Love you in this Kate, the two John’s were great but you were the high light.
WOW
Absolutely brilliant entertainment.
What a stellar cast with amazing voices & isn't Kate stunning.
From a 71yo Aussie fan.
Jon Stevens led me here to the magic of the 3 ❤
David H's re-scoring was astounding. But Farnham as Jesus was equally astounding. That instrument...
It was and still remains the best JC Superstar production ever! I saw it in Brisbane and loved every minute of it!! I refuse to see any other production...have seen the best..forget the rest!

Beautiful. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Best production of Jesus Christ Superstar ever. End.
Beautiful rendition Kate.
Absolutely incredible experience from all three of them.
This is just about perfect.
I went to the Jesus Christ Superstar performance in Melbourne. Brilliant performance, including Angry Anderson, and John Waters
I didn't see any of the early versions. Lucky you! I did get to see it in Sydney in 2013 with Tim Minchin as Judas, Ben Forster as Jesus, Mel C as Mary M, & even Jon Stevens as Pilate. Was an amazing show but I would have loved to have seen this one.
omg i was 5 when this came out.... don't even remember the song! love the group..... brings me back still.....
1992, such a memorable year in so many ways
Little factoid- the original 'Linda' from "Round the Twist" is in the chorus- Tamsin West (she's sitting in the back in blue, leaning on the guy)! I also saw this when I was about 13 in Brisbane when they did this at the Entertainment Centre in the round- it was AMAZING!
I seen them in Brisbane too!!! I was only 16 at the time. I was obsessed with the soundtrack and the musical and thought Aussie did the best rendition!
Magda Szubanski was there too, ok not really but you’ll see the resemblance 😂
Still my favourite cast
I play this cd ALL THE TIME!!! Absolutely still love it. Just wish I had the dvd for it. Apparently there is none.

Friggin awesome song

Russell Morris was a backup singer. Some mighty voices there. I saw the original with Marcia Hines John English n Trevor White. Amazing.
I was too young to get it at the time… 5? But… Ceberano … 😍
20 years on - time for another go - but very hard to match this awesome line up !!
