The Coverdale controversy continues...

Uwe... I remember seeing IG's Gold Disc for "Jesus Christ  - Superstar" (took me totally by surprise!) on the wall at Kingsway Recorders, back in the day... funny to think of Lloyd-Webber trying to persuade him to sing the lead in the stage show...

For those who haven't seen the young bearded Coverdale sing Behind The Smile:
Excellent, eh?

Yeah, except for the pointless dancing sequences.

And they wound up with Jeff Fenholt on Broadway - great vocalist, but apparently a bit of a basket case. Never cared much for Ted Neely in the movie version. There was a version of JCC done a few years back with Steve Balsamo in the role of Jesus Christ - probably the best rendition aside from Gillan.

Back around 1990 I went to a benefit show at The Stone Pony - it was supposed to be Paul Stanley along with a NY cult band called The Good Rats and Saraya. It wound up being the whole of Kiss, along with JLTurner, a couple of guys from The Rascals, and TM Stevens' band. Between Gene and the rest, there was alot of "rock helmets" on stage that evening. I dubbed the show Night of 1000 Rugs"

Rock helmets! haha!

I think Coverdale's singing the lower parts and Axle Rose is screaming the higher parts.
I didn't really watch the whole thing but I don't see any evidence of tapes, echo and tape delay, he's going to kill his voice though if it hasn't been already.

That guitar player in the first video is great if you like that sort of thing.
