Elvis made television history with his "Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii" concert TV special. Viewed by over 1 billion people worldwide, this was the first live concert broadcast via satellite. This deluxe 2-disc DVD with discography booklet contains more than 4 hours of concert footage that includes Elvis' rehearsal concert, the TV concert with and without edits along with additional bonus footage.
Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only)
Elvis Presley made television and entertainment history with his Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii concert television special. The performance took place at the Honolulu International Center Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 14, 1973. The concert was beamed live via Globecam Satellite to Australia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, The Philippines, South Vietnam and other countries. It was seen on a delayed basis in approximately thirty European countries shortly after. It did not air in America until April 4th, when an edited version of the concert, expanded with songs videotaped just after the live event, was presented on NBC. That broadcast attracted 51% of the television viewing audience. In all, it was seen in about forty countries by 1-to-1.5 billion people. A global smash. Never before had one performer held the world's attention in such a way.
Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii presents Elvis Presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom, giving one of the most outstanding concert performances of his career. This two disc set shows that everyone, but most especially Americans, missed much of the best that Aloha had to offer. The concert and the rehearsal show from the night before are included here, re-edited from scratch and restored to absolute completeness, along with the complete after-concert insert-songs recording session and the complete raw footage from the staged "arrival in Honolulu" scenes with Elvis for the opening of the special. There's also the American broadcast version to which to compare them.
It's a fascinating journey no matter in what order it's watched. It is the most authentic, in terms of fidelity, to a great '70s Elvis show; by far the most exciting version of Aloha that has ever been presented.
