Movie Description
Elvis Presley performs in Honolulu, Hawaii, in this 1973 concert. Among the 25 titles included are "Blue Suede Shoes," "Suspicious Minds," and "C.C. Rider." Elvis made television and entertainment history as this was the first-ever live concert broadcast over satellite, reaching in excess of one billion people worldwide.
Note: Elvis' performances of I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, I Can't Stop Loving You, and Johnny B. Goode in the Aloha From Hawaii concert have been deleted from the newly re-released DVD/VHS editions of this program. Music publishing clearance from the songs' owners was up for renewal and an agreement could not be reached.
This edited version is the only available version of Elvis' historic Aloha From Hawaii concert.
Industry Reviews
"[T]his is the scene of his last real hurrah, with El in near fighting trim and still-kingly voice."
Entertainment Weekly - Chris Willman (07/09/2004)
"The direction is quite lively, with split-screen effects, superimpositions and fast cutting adding to the sense of spectacle."
Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (10/01/2004)
