I listen to JCS on vinyl every Good Friday.

Cheesy ALW production but it totally rocks. Why not bring it back live? I hope they are successful.

I used to love listening to the original double album. The singers were all great on the album. Also, I think JCS is one of the few depictions of the Passion that got Judas right. In most movies about Christ, Judas is depicted as a zealot who tries to force Jesus to use His Godly power to vanquish the Romans. JCS portrayed Judas as someone who did not believe in Jesus' deity, and who saw Him instead as just a community organizer who was putting Himself ahead of community organizing.

I saw it when Ian Gillan played Jesus. Simply amazing.
