My friend, I consider myself somewhat of a Gethsemane snob…I’ve heard them all. I always preferred Neeley’s version…but then…I heard you. My god man! You absolutely OWN this song! One of the most difficult songs in stage history, and keep in mind, EVERYONE compares the vocalist to a dozen other versions and you blow past them. The body of your voice, the nuances, your range…and not just because you have a remarkable way of delivering the song, others can hit high notes as well, almost for the sake of hitting the notes…you blew it away because you let us see that you NEED to sing it the way you do so that it touches our hearts and souls. Your vocal range staggers the mind. You are simply incredible…take that from a JCS snob…unbelievable brother!

I know why you're here. It's on 2:22. But do me a favor and make sure you watch the rest as well! xD

Why does this not have millions of views??!!! This is the most powerful performance of Gethsemane I've ever heard or seen!! Just wow!!!❤❤❤

Why, oh why, is Dan Vasc not headlining on Broadway, or being celebrated in opera, or just plain world famous for his amazing voice and mega-talent?

I am so baffled right now! There has NEVER been an artist that moves me so deeply. PERIOD!!! I don't know what it is, or why, but you Dan, literally stir my soul. I am just speechless...

I dont think I'll see a better performance of Gethsemane. The vocal performance is exceptional, Ive come to expect that from Mr Vasc,..but this is an absolutely poignant Christ,.. a Son, speaking to his Father,.. rebelling, and angry, scared, and yet still trying to please his parent. The juxtaposition of duty and fear, doubt, and even a little self pity,.. were just a perfect blend. The acting expression was, again, precise, amazingly timed, and all done whilst delivering a belter of a vocal. This gentleman just keeps raising the bar...

I don't understand why this hasn't had more hits and likes. This is the best version of this song I have ever heard! 😮

Not only a superb singer but an actor worthy of an Oscar. What a performance!

Good God man!!!!! You could sing the freakin phone book and make it sound incredible. You Sir, have a huge new fan here. This 68 year old is totally in awe!!!!

Dan doesn't just perform his songs, He sings , expesses his passion through expression . It's like each song is a mini play, motions , emotions , with depth of his feelings , heart and soul. Just listening to his music is magical in every way. Watching him is magnificently And wonderfully Mesmerizing. I would love to see him on tour here , in the U. S. A. God bless you and your very special gift.

March 29, 2024 I still get chills from this stunning performance, so heartfelt, heart-wrenching, and deeply moving. What a singing and acting job. That last "Nail me to your CROSS and break me" never fails to shatter me. To those who are celebrating this weekend, Happy Easter!

I just held my breath for 5:43 seconds. Has Andrew Lloyd Webber heard this??? I feel like this was meant to be performed by a metal/opera singer, no one ever has done this song justice like that !!! And I’ve heard them all, I eat, breathe, sleep JCS, and this song is sooooo deep. And Dan brought it all out. What a performance ❤❤❤❤ whole body goosebumps. Thank you for enriching my life with this !

There's singing and then there's tearing out your heart for a complete performance. You gifted us the latter. Thank you!

Why don't we here a lot more of this amazingly talented performer? I came across him by accident.

Well. I'm speechless. Not only THE voice, but the acting of His passion is superb. Bravo. ❤

A far cry from the cute 20 year old who looked at his feet while sharing his beautiful voice. Now a confident, madly talented, powerful presence. Bravo!

I saw the movie about 36 times. Im in awe over Dan's version. Im in tears.

This is the best cover of Gethsemane in KZfaq.......

I have NEVER seen anything in my 70+ years of loving all things Broadway, as well as all things Christ-centric, that even comes close to this --- performance? That word doesn't describe what I just witnessed. I can't find the words. And I'm a poet.

I saw Jesus Christ Superstar and was totally transfixed by Ted Neely singing this song. I never thought anyone could beat that performance. I sat, breathless and had chills, during this performance. It is stunning. You did it......wow! Just truly the most powerful perfornance I've EVER seen!

Oh, Dan. In one song you depict the complexity of what happened at Gethsemane. A man, faithful and aware, but also God. The sometimes dreadful consequences of obedience. Confusion and conviction. Not a manger scene with a plump baby. Crucifixion, physical and mental. All the dashboard crucifixes and glow in the dark crosses have made mockery of it, but it was a bleak and bloody business. Your rendition: breath-taking.

Safe to say all us fans of Dan are speechless again! If he leaves me anymore speechless I’ll end up mute! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Oh my, Dan's voice is amazing, just found Dan a few days ago on KZfaq singing Amazing Grace. I haven't heard anyone sing that song with so much feelings. How have I not seen him before. KZfaq is all I watch. So easy on the eyes as well. Oh be still my ♥

I never imagined that anyone could top Ted Neely’s performance. You have exceeded him by leaps and bounds. Your talent for singing and interpretation is breathtaking. You are richly blessed.

This is NOT an easy song to sing by any stretch. He does it justice.

OMG - I'm 64yr old and grown-up with JCS Ted Neeley, saw him 2 yrs ago in Belgium - very very impressed Dan reaches a nearly equal pitch - my deepest respect, dear Dan.

This is like watching a theatrical performance on stage!! Absolutely a one-of-a-kind amazing performance!! Phenomenal!!

I have only recently found Dan's channel and was searching for more videos . Nearly passed on this one because I didn't know the song. That would have been a HUGE mistake. I was totally blown away by the vocals and performance. This man has it all. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

You're not only a singer, you're a great performer Dan! High intensity, amazing interpetation, powerful voice, crazy high notes

As someone who grew up with and was deeply moved by the original Jesus Christ Superstar, who knew every song, sang along with and cried along with most of them, and played many on the piano, I am blown away by Dan's performance. I didn't think anyone could sing this song better than Ted Neely, but Dan took it to a new level. Vocally and emotionally, Dan outdid him in every way.

That‘s not only perfect singing, thats also amazing performing. He feels it

My breath is gone, dear Lord, the agony Jesus felt for us!!!

I just sent this video to 50 my friends and family in Poland.Hope someone will share it and subscribe.Happy Easter to everyone who celebrate this holiday.”And when you stand praying,if you hold anything against anyone,forgive them,so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”All the best to everyone.❤🐣🐥🐇🪻🌼🌷🌹💐🌞🌎🥂😊🎉🎉🎉

This heart breaking acting and singing performance is worthy of the highest honors ever given. So much beauty and pain. Dan's beautiful rich baritone almost operatic voice is without match. It ends almost suddenly and leaves me wanting more.

Dan is INCREDIBLE!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A thousand golden buzzers are not enough. This is art.

A God given gift used to give us God. Thank you.

Please do more Jesus Christ Superstar songs. Your voice is made to sing any of the songs. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.

I did not think it was even possible to match Gillan and Neeley…. Dan, You took this to the next level !!!

I have never experienced HEARING AND SEEING a singer such as DAN VASC. ITS SHOCKING TO THE EMOTIONS OF BEING REAL. I EXPERIENCED DISCOVERING AND HEARING HIM FIRST ON U TUBE, " A metal singer singing AMAZING GRACE. I STARTED NOT TO LISTEN TO A METAL SINGER BUT DID.!!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS SURELY LEAVING THIS WORLD , LEAVING FOR HEAVEN . I WAS OVERTAKEN!!! MY SOUL WAS FULL OF HEAVENS GLORY, ANOINTING. I STILL.LISTEN TO IT ,OVER OVER ,OVER AND OVER , STILL ....THE SAME EMOTIONS TAKE OVER MY HEART AND SOUL. 😢 EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME!!! HE IS CHANGING THE WORLD!!! HE IS ABSOLUTELY UNBELEVABLE AND DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. HES BEYOND DESCRIBING. OTHER SINGERS ALMOST HAVE TO JUST GET OUT OF THE WAY.?????????😮

I have no words...none that can do Dan justice...he is amazing!!! Absolutely amazing!!!.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This needs to be shared and shared. This deserves a million views!

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this and each time it blows me away and can still reduce me to tears! This man's talent knows no bounds - he's simply phenomenal across all genres!

Reviewer Sebs Duran sent me here, having been wrung out thoroughly by this magnificent performance. I was well aware of Dan, but not that he'd sung Gethsemane. What a match of singer and song, as I commented on Sebs' review. I see I haven't subscribed to Dan's channel. Thought I had. Will remedy that now.

INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE....very moving in his rendition.....the pain,agony submission, reflection of the Messiah's final sacrifice! JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR -

My soul Cries for the Beautiful Soul and talent of this Man 😢

Yes, the scripture tells us that Jesus was in anguish before he allowed himself to be taken to the cross. Thank you for this beautiful song. ❤

I watch this every day, he has done this with so much emotion and beauty and Dan's voice is super awesome ❤

i feel like JCS never gets the recognition it deserves so when i saw this i had to watch and holy shit, the power, the emotion, ive seen this show live twice and watched countless versions and this is BY FAR the best

THIS is how you sing Gethsemane, people. Let out that rock star within you!

Love how you were able in song to grasp the wrestling of Jesus with his humanity, till he surrendered.

One of the best Gethsemane I've ever heard! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

If anyone would be the choice to replace the great Ted Neeley as Jesus Christ it would be you, Dan. Amazing job!

NEVER HEARD Gethsemane sung with such raw emotion I am stunned speechless and in awe of Dans top class rendition

Jesus Christ is in heaven applauding 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🏻♥️

I’m about to cry…don’t know why…exactly…i love Jesus, and I love this song…This isn’t representative of Jesus so much as it captures the agony, tragedy of all he went through even before the ordeal (such a tame word) of the crucifixion. The effect of your singing, Dan, is, in a way mystical. mesmerizing. powerful in a way that reaches and grabs the very soul of those who hear you. I want very much to see and hear you do the entire Superstar musical. That would be an event that would shake the musical stage to its foundations! I’m casting a virtual dozen red roses onto the stage where you stand. Excellent!

He performs this piece. Dan takes you right into Gethsemane with him. Powerful performance. I love this

Best Gethsemane I’ve ever heard - and I’ve heard A LOT of them. But this one? This one more than touched my soul… it reached in, grabbed it & shook it! 💟✝️💟

Broadway needs to bring back this play because of this man WOW 😮❤

Just listened to your version of Gethsemane and I've seen Ted Neeley several times in person your version is the best. Would like to see more covers fron Superstar.

so glad to see an increased interest in this most passionate rendition of "gethsemane" this past month. think it is due to several reactors have had it on their channels recently. while you are here like and subscribe. this performance deserves to be in dan's top five. have a happy and blessed easter everyone.

ONE MILLION BRAVOS!!! No one can compare to you Dan Vasc... and this touched me even more than your rendition of Amazing Grace which is also the BEST I've ever heard. Just WOW WOW WOW. The power, tone and emotion of your voice reaches the depth of my soul. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

I will never hear this song again the same way, never. Dan your incredibly talented. Your star is bright.

The best cover of Gethsamane ever! So full of emotion! You’ll make a great Antonio Banderas yourself!❤

This is probably the first time I've hear someone sing this song that made me question Neeley or Gillan being first place. Like...wow. This was incredible. I've heard some of your other metal covers but this was....wow, this was something else. I feel like i just had a whole experience and I'm still in it and not ready 😂

i've seen Ted Neeley's and Ian Gillan's versions of this song along with a dozen others... Dan, you are without a doubt the ultimate and absolute master of this song --no comparison! The human struggles between doubt, fear, pleading, anger, defiance, anguish, and acceptance are so masterfully and brilliantly portrayed here by you = a mesmerizing and perfect performance in every way. THANK YOU!

Every cover of Dan is a masterpiece. But since he is done Gethesame i can‘t stop listenung

I’ve never heard such an amazing singer before and I’m 81.

I am moved to the core. The emotions come through swifter then electricity in air. Am catching my breathe now. Have seen Jesus Christ Superstar on stage. I was moved then. I'm moved more now... thank you. 😊

You should me on Broadway. You were bringing the house down. I don’t know why no one has approached you. You are fabulous.

Dude, you should be on Broadway! Bravo! 🙌

This is probably the best thing I have ever heard in all my 60 years.

He is amzing. Megastar material. Always has been. He is so principled as to let folks use his music without royalties.

Every hair on the back of my neck is literally standing on end....what an amazing performance! Your talent knows no bounds!!!

I have always loved Ted Neelys version, but you have gone above and beyond!! BRAVO... please do more of Jesus Christ Superstar...❤️

Oh my god your voice is epic!!! WHY ARE YOU NOT IN JCS!?!!! you should be Jesus!!!!❤❤❤

I feel so honoured to have found you Dear Dan days before 2023 Christmas. And can't stop listening to your wonderful music. Thank you, I wish you so much Joy,Peace, Love in 2024 ❤ Always!!!

I grew up on Ted Neely from the original 1970’s version and this cover by him has blown my mind. I’m absolutely in love

No other voice to compare with this magnificent voice. He is absolutely incredible.❤

Wow, you’re a fantastic singer/performer. Unbelievable. You were born to sing my friend.

Easily one of the best renditions of this I've ever heard. I'd put you before Gillan and Neeley, personally. You've got the richness in the lower range that they don't.

Dan, this was so powerful but also excruciatingly painful. You are so multi-faceted in your singing talent. May you go to the highest places in your singing career. You can be anything.

I seldom watch this, it rips my heart out! Your performance is so POWERFUL!

This has got to be the most emotional piece on stage or film ever written. Andrew Lloyd Webber was a master at that. You managed to take my breath away with this, couldn't call it acting - more like you were actually feeling every word you were singing. Just blown my mind. You deserve to be world renowned for your talent and the feelings you envoke in people. Thank you so much x

I painted three paintings of Ted Neely singing this song. And without a doubt, I will be painting three of you too! I didn't know anyone could ever sing this song the way he did. You surprassed any of my expectations!! Fantastic to say the very least! PS: This is my very favorite song!!

That note at 3:27 was insane. Why aren't you performing on Broadway, Dan!

where's the love button? lol Wow, Dan, you brought me to tears on this one. Such an absolutely powerful performance unlike any others. I am so glad I came across you, finally.

Wow, I love your rendition, Dan, of the Passion of Christ. You sang with so much soul, grit, angst and flood of emotions. You wrapped yourself in the message of the song. So moving and poignant. You showed the stretch of your vocal range. What a gift, Dan! May you sing more songs like this....

Wow. I’d love to see the whole show with Dan in the lead. Brilliant.

Woooofsh (I believe that's the sound I made after watchin this).... What an amazing coverage... at ALL levels... Not just your powerful voice... It's your throughout being PRESENT... being IT ❤. Roses of respect and mighty thanks to you, dear Dan 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹!

This is insanely good,...no, , Amazing! Such passion, powerful emotion, sang so heart felt.🥺 I cry with emotion, when I listen to this version. Dan, you ARE THE MAN! Thankyou for blessing us! ✭✫✰✯✴

I actually saw JCSS on Broadway, you have blown my mind, beyond words in fact I keep writing "there are no words". There are not.

We got to get this guy on tour!!! Dan has a voice that interprets a song like no other. Dan you really must do a world tour!!

And once again, you brought me to tears!

I know I'm 5 years late to the party but, if anyone hears any rumors that Dan will be playing Jesus in a live production of this play, please let me know in time to get tickets and make travel arrangements. My favorite stage musical just had new life breathed into it 😲.

Dan, you belong on stage! This is far better than the original. 😍

The power is so felt. I felt the humanity and the distress. Thank you.

why hasn't this gone viral? 😮 I haven't listened to all of your music yet but I soon will... I'm a 72 year old great grandma but, wow! I would love to hear your rendition of the Doors' " People Are Strange". With your power and sultriness it would be amazing. I hope your days are as epic as you make many of ours!

Oh my gosh, Wow, I'm writing from Australia and only recently heard you sing Daniel, I'm absolutely thrilled to listen to you sing. Your range and the passion in which you sing is so beautiful. You feel the passion of every word. I'm so Blessed to have been able to follow such an amazing artist who touches my heart .God Bless you and your family. Amore xx

Profound.
