Elvis Presley - Aloha From Hawaii DVD

Elvis Presley made television and entertainment history with his Aloha from Hawaii concert television special. The performance took place at the International Center Arena in Honolulu Hawaii on January 14 1973 and 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 the audiences 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 and by far the most exciting version of Aloha that has ever been presented.
