The Story Behind: Jesus Christ Superstar, Ep 167

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Jesus Christ Superstar started with a hit single and a followup concept album, before any stage show or film was considered. The boys talk about their Catholic upbringing, killer rhythm sections of the 60s, and rock and roll Jesus.
