Godspell

One filming location was the roof of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. The group is currently in the studio putting the wraps on its third album, which is scheduled for release sometime in 2005. A film version of the musical was released in 1973, set in modern New York, and featuring Victor Garber as Jesus, and Lynne Thigpen in her first film role. In 2004, the band reformed and debuted some new material at a handful of live shows. The presentation of the story is typically not entirely realistic, and productions of the musical often set it in places and times other than the obvious (one notable production was set in a circus). During this break, Sult left the group, and was replaced on drums by Michael Welke. The form of Godspell closely follows the Episcopal communion service, and in the university premiere, all its songs except "By My Side" were from the Episcopal Hymnal. After the release of King James Version, Harvey Danger decided to take a break from writing and recording songs.

The show was originally produced as a masters thesis project at Carnegie-Mellon University, but Stephen Schwartz added songs for the commercial opening. The record garnered critical acclaim, but sold poorly, as first single "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo" stiffed at rock radio. Several cast albums have been released over the years; the most well-known song from the musical is "Day By Day" which was a top 10 hit in the summer of 1971. In September 2000, Harvey Danger released its second album, King James Version. Following closely on the heels of the similarly-themed Jesus Christ Superstar, it opened off-Broadway on May 15, 1971 and has played in various touring companies and revivals many times since. Early the following year the group released a cover of English Beat's "Save It For Later" on the 200 Cigarettes soundtrack. Godspell is a musical based on the Gospel of Saint Matthew with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by John Michael Tebelak. The album produced one other single, "Private Helicopter," which didn't make much noise on the charts.

The band had a modern rock hit with its first single, "Flagpole Sitta," an urgent, grunge-tinged track about losing one's mind. Eventually, the band signed with a bigger label, Slash Records, and in 1998 rereleased the album with a new cover. in 1997. Their first album, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, was originally released on Arena Rock Recording Co.
