When they split up he won a solo contract with producer Erik Jacobsen , who had previously worked successfully with The Lovin ' Spoonful . He was inspired to write the song after watching Porter Wagoner on TV singing a gospel song . Greenbaum later said : `` I thought , ' Yeah , I could do that , ' knowing nothing about gospel music , so I sat down and wrote my own gospel song . It came easy . I wrote the words in 15 minutes . '' `` Spirit in the Sky '' contains lyrics about the afterlife , making several references to Jesus , although Greenbaum is Jewish . ( In a VH1 episode about famous one - hit wonders , Alice Cooper said that he was surprised to hear someone with a Jewish - sounding last name performing a song that seemed to be about Jesus . ) Greenbaum recorded his first solo album with Jacobsen for Reprise Records . The song 's arrangement came together in the studio in San Francisco where lead guitarist Russell DaShiell , bass player Doug Killmer from the band Crowfoot and drummer Norman Mayell worked with Greenbaum . According to one source and to DaShiell , Greenbaum used a Fender Telecaster with a fuzz box built into the body to generate the song 's characteristic guitar sound . Moreover , DaShiell explained how he created the song 's distinctive `` beeping '' fills : `` I actually played the lead guitar parts on Spirit , using a 61 - 62 SG Les Paul , a 68 Marshall Plexi 100w half stack and a home - made overdrive box in front of the Marshall . Regarding the ' beep beeps ' as I call them , when the producer asked me to play some fills in between the verses , as a joke I said how about something spacey like this and I did the pickup switch / string bending thing . I saw him stand up in the control booth and he said `` that 's it ! let 's record that ! '' so we did . ( There was no slide involved , just my fingers , and I used the bridge humbucker and the pickup switch . ) The fuzz part is Norman with a built - in overdrive circuit built into his Tele pickguard . '' `` I 've been asked a lot over the years how I did the ' beep beep ' guitar parts on Spirit , so for any guitar players out there who would like to learn how , try the following : Using a 2 - pickup Gibson , set the neck pickup volume to zero , bridge pickup volume to max , with the pickup switch in the middle position ( with Gibson wiring this gives you silence in the middle position ) . Do a string bend , picking the B & E strings together with one hit , just ahead of the beat , then use the pickup switch to kick in the bridge pickup in triplets ( 6 per bar ) as you let the B string bend down two frets . '' `` I mainly used two positions on Spirit , which is in the key of A. For the low position , fret a stationary C note ( 8th fret ) on the E string while bending the B string up to an A note for your starting - position , then pick the two strings together once while the guitar is silent and work the pickup switch as you let the A note bend downwards to a G. For the high position , do the same thing at the 15th fret holding a stationary high G note on the E string while bending down from E to D on the B string . '' `` I must give credit to Jimi Hendrix as my inspiration for this technique ( as well as for the double - string riffs I did at the beginning of the Spirit solo tail section ) . I saw him perform live in a small club in Madison , Wisconsin and loved the way he used his Strat pickup switch to create staccato feedback on songs like Voodoo Child . The difference is , on a Gibson you can start from silence and create the on / off effect , which worked well with the downward string bending thing I did on Spirit . '' The resulting sound was an innovative and compelling combination of gospel and psychedelic rock music , with loud drums , distorted electric guitar , clapping hands , and tambourines . The production team brought in the Stovall Sisters , an Oakland - based gospel trio , to sing backing vocals . Because of its unusual lyrics and style , the record company was initially reluctant to issue it , but was finally released as a single after two other singles from the album had poor sales . `` Spirit in the Sky '' became a worldwide hit , and was at the time the best - selling single ever for the Reprise label . There is a music video with Greenbaum singing the song . Of the song , Greenbaum observed : `` It sounds as fresh today as when it was recorded . I 've gotten letters from funeral directors telling me that it 's their second-most - requested song to play at memorial services , next to ' Danny Boy ' .

Wenner , while highly critical of the recent work of many of his peers , including Bob Dylan and ex-band mate Paul McCartney , Lennon professed to liking the then - current radio single , `` Spirit in the Sky '' , stating that he `` always liked simple rock and nothing else '' . It was included on the list of songs deemed `` questionable '' by Clear Channel following the September 11 , 2001 attacks . In the Ron Howard movie Apollo 13 , the Fred Haise character opened the TV broadcast to Earth from the Odyssey Command Module with `` Spirit in the Sky '' instead of the planned theme from 2001 A Space Odyssey . The song appears in the second trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy , as well as the soundtrack album , but is not heard in the film .

Voters went to the polls to elect : A new President of the Republic to serve a six - year term , replacing then Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León ( ineligible for re-election under the 1917 Constitution ) . 500 members ( 300 by the first - past - the - post system and 200 by proportional representation ) to serve for a three - year term in the Chamber of Deputies . 128 members ( three per state by first - past - the - post and 32 by proportional representation from national party lists ) to serve six - year terms in the Senate . In each state , two first - past - the - post seats are allocated to the party with the largest share of the vote , and the remaining seat is given to the first runner - up . The presidential elections were won by Vicente Fox of the Alliance for Change , who received 43.4 % of the vote , the first time the opposition had won an election since the Mexican Revolution . In the Congressional elections the Alliance for Change emerged as the largest faction in the Chamber of Deputies with 224 of the 500 seats , whilst the Institutional Revolutionary Party remained the largest faction in the Senate with 60 of the 128 seats in the Senate . Voter turnout was between 63 and 64 % in the elections . This a historically significant election that made Fox the first president elected from an opposition party since Francisco I. Madero in 1910 and the first one in 71 years to defeat , with 42 percent of the vote , the then - dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party .

For example , one irregularity in the southern state of Campeche involved the European Union electoral observer Rocco Buttiglione and could have created problems for President Ernesto Zedillo had the PRI candidate won . Overall , however , electoral observers identified little evidence that those incidents were centrally coordinated ( as opposed to led by local PRI officials ) , and critics concluded that those irregularities which did occur did not materially alter the outcome of the presidential vote , which had been more definitive than expected . Civic organizations fielded more than 80,000 trained electoral observers , foreign observers were invited to witness the process , and numerous `` quick count '' operations and exit polls ( not all of them independent ) validated the official vote tabulation . The largest exit poll was organized by the U.S. firm Penn , Schoen & Berland , financed by a hitherto obscure outfit in Dallas called Democracy Watch . It emerged later that Democracy Watch had effectively been created by Fox campaign insiders to help prevent the success of any expected election fraud . Numerous electoral reforms implemented since 1989 aided in the opening of the Mexican political system , and since then opposition parties have made historic gains in elections at all levels . The chief electoral concerns shifted from outright fraud to campaign fairness issues and , between 1995 and 1996 , the political parties negotiated constitutional amendments to address these issues . The legislation implemented included major points of consensus that had been worked out with the opposition parties . Under the new laws , public financing predominated over private contributions to political parties , procedures for auditing parties were tightened , and the authority and independence of the electoral institutions were strengthened . The court system was also given greatly expanded authority to hear civil rights cases on electoral matters brought by individuals or groups .

Edgar Hoover Building in Washington , D.C. Taken to an FBI `` black site '' , Reddington claims he wishes to help the FBI track down and apprehend the criminals and terrorists he spent the last twenty years associating with ; individuals that are so dangerous and devious that the United States government is unaware of their very existence . He offers Cooper his knowledge and assistance on two conditions : immunity from prosecution , and that he wants to work exclusively with Elizabeth Keen , a rookie profiler newly assigned to Cooper . Keen and Cooper are suspicious of Reddington 's interest in her , but he will only say that she is `` very special '' . After Cooper tests Reddington 's offer in locating and killing a terrorist in the first episode , Reddington reveals that this man was only the first on his `` blacklist '' of global criminals , which he has compiled over his criminal career , and states that he and the FBI have a mutual interest in eliminating them . The mysteries of Reddington 's and Liz 's lives , and his interest in her , are gradually revealed as the series progresses . Each episode features one of the global criminals , and Reddington assisting the team tracking and apprehending them .

Recalling the experience in an interview with Collider.com , executive producer John Eisendrath stated : `` So , the idea was , ' Well , what would happen if a man like Whitey Bulger turned himself in and said , `` I am here . I have some rules that I want you to follow , but if you follow them I will give you the names of people that I have worked with , during the 20 years that I have been a fugitive . '' ' So , there was a real world influence that affected the shaping of the show that was already being thought about . How can you put someone that you do n't trust in the center of a show about trying to find criminals ? And here was an example in the real world of just such a person . It was a fortuitous turn of events , where the idea for a show was being considered , and then here comes a real life story that helped give it some shape . '' NBC bought the rights to The Blacklist from Sony Pictures Television in August 2012 and greenlighted the show in January 2013 . During an NBC upfront presentation in May 2013 , it was announced that The Blacklist was NBC 's highest - testing drama in 10 years . Casting ( edit ) Eisendrath said the casting process was difficult . In February 2013 , NBC offered Kiefer Sutherland the lead role of Raymond Reddington . After considering other actors for the role , Eisendrath and Bokenkamp called James Spader to see if he would be interested in it . Feeling confident in Spader 's understanding of the character , they cast him three days before filming began . Megan Boone took a week to prepare for her audition as FBI profiler Elizabeth Keen . Feeling like her initial audition was one of the better auditions of her career , Boone later was called back for multiple auditions . In March 2013 , Deadline.com reported that Boone accepted the role as the female lead in the series . Filming locations and technique ( edit ) Despite being set in Washington , D.C. , the series is mainly filmed in the same Manhattan studio where Law & Order was filmed for 20 years . Producer Richard Heus said they chose to film specific Washington , D.C. locations for the series , including the Lincoln Memorial , the Washington Monument , and the National Mall , because they were `` iconic American locations '' . The series is filmed in 4K using Sony PMW - F55 cameras that are adapted to use Panavision lenses . It is edited using Avid Media Composer , and editor Christopher Brookshire says the show has `` a very distinctive look and pace '' . An average of three cameras are used at one time , but as many as six cameras are sometimes rolling . Broadcast ( edit ) The series is broadcast simultaneously on Global in Canada . In New Zealand , the show premiered on TV3 on February 2 , 2014 . The second season premiered on September 23 . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , the show premiered on Sky Living on October 4 , 2013 . The second season premiered on October 3 , 2014 . Netflix has streaming rights to seasons 1 -- 5 in the United States , 1 -- 4 in Australia , Latin America , Finland , Switzerland , Germany , Sweden , The Netherlands , and Canada . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The first season of The Blacklist received strong reviews from television critics . On Metacritic , the first season has a score of 74 out of 100 , based on 31 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . On Rotten Tomatoes , the first season received a rating of 83 % , based on 47 reviews , with an average rating of 7 / 10 . The consensus reads , `` James Spader is riveting as a criminal - turned - informant , and his presence goes a long way toward making this twisty but occasionally implausible crime procedural compelling '' . The second season received a rating of 80 % , based on 15 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The consensus reads , `` Though The Blacklist flirts with narrative overload , it 's held together by James Spader 's scenery - eating performance and wildly entertaining action . '' The third season received a rating of 93 % , based on 14 reviews , with an average rating of 7.4 / 10 . The consensus reads , `` The Blacklist is back in top form with fresh dangers that put Red on the ropes while giving James Spader room to shine . '' The fourth season received a rating of 86 % , based on seven reviews , with an average rating of 7 / 10 . The fifth season received a rating of 100 % , based on five reviews , with an average rating of 8.5 / 10 . David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle said about the pilot , `` You think you know this situation and how it will turn out , but there are surprising , yet entirely credible , twists throughout Monday 's episode '' . Robert Bianco of USA Today said , `` The Blacklist is a solid weekly crime show built around a genuine TV star . That 's the kind of series the networks have to be able to pull off to survive . And with Spader in command , odds are NBC will '' . Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter praised both Spader 's performance and the procedural elements of the show , writing `` there 's an overarching element to the premise as well that makes it intriguing without making it overly complicated .
