Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii

Very good picture and sound. Not as personal and informal as other concerts and or rehearsals but very enjoyable viewing of Elvis nonetheless. A lot of extras versus just the origanal concert footage DVDs. Bought the used offering. Arrived in perfect condition and looked brand new for $60 less !

It's ELVIS, still the King!

Just as described, perfect condition and made it safely from the US to Peru. I'm really glad that this Aloha from Hawaii edition is part of my Elvis collection now.

When I was growing up in the seventies, I remember Elvis very well. He was the man-the king of not only rock and roll, but all american music. He did it all-standards, country, gospel and of course Rock and roll. I like to think of Elvis as the "King of american music" He was loved by people of all ages. You can't put him in a box-you can't catorgorize him-he does it all. Now, I'm going to give short reviews on each "Chapter" on this dvd-and give a rating-1-to-5 stars-on each. Disc 1: Chapter 1: "Elvis Arives and greets fans" **** This is the unedited version-17 minutes of what amounted to 2-3 min of footage that was included in the american version of the concert. I actually enjoyed watching this. I don't think it was boring at all. Chapter 2: "Rehearsal concert" ***** 2 days before the origanal broadcast-Elvis and his band and 6,000 fans did this concert. It was a precaution-if anything went wrong with the satelite feed-they would have this concert as a back up-of course-nothing went wrong. This concert is a bit shorter-but the music and performence was very good. Chapter 3: "Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii concert" ***** This version is the original concert as it was broadcast over satelite on January 14, 1973. This is basically the no frills version of the concert. Americans had to wait 3 months to see this concert in April of 1973. More on this concert later. Disc 2: Chapter 1: "post-concert 'insert' songs session" *** This was ok. Elvis and the band gathered to do 5 songs that(4 songs)would be inserted into the American version of the concert. I think the DVD could live without this-but it's inclusion I guess serves as historical value if nothing else. Chapter 2: "Elvis, Aloha From Hawaii-NBC TV special" ***** This is the American Version of the concert-broadcast on April, 4 1973. Including four of the songs that was done after the conert along with outdoor footage of Hawaii. He does a lot of popular songs of the 50's thru 70's. My favorites are "Something" and "Fever" but all of the songs are very good. This was his last great hour-He would go into a cycle of decline after this and would culimate in his death in 1977-yet Elvis was king of american music and thanks to the deication and hardwork of those at graceland and BMG to Bring this on DVD, Elvis lives on-Long live the king!

Good video. Best concert ever from Elvis.

Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (Deluxe Edition) This was the first televised show by satellite. Americans did not get to see it until a few months after it was made. It is very good of Elvis. The man knew HOW TO PUT ON A SHOW and what he was there for, and loved what he was doing. In all his DVD's he sings one song after another, interacts with his fans, his musicians, orchestra and back up singers, he seems to get a lot of fun out of them, for they make him smile, even tho he is singing--or trying to. I think it is really good, because he always gives everything he has in his shows for his Fans. Wonderful back up musicians, very talented. Watching him, makes you wonder "where does the man get so much energy?" Altho, I have to admit I like his DVD: Elvis; Thats the way it is, somewhat more than his Hawaii show. But every girl there is putting lay's on him. But who can blame them. And in his touring shows, he has control of the stage, musicians and they know exactly what he wants and when. Fabulous shows he puts on. I recommend this Deluxe set, I feel it was more than worth it. Bought it right here from Amazon, and as usual, service was very good. So, now I have bought several other DVD's that I want to have in my collection. This man was my ERA- the 1950's until his demise in 1977. I'm 69 yr old now and just beginning to really appreciate this Wonderfully, multi talented man. And looks that would knock'em dead...LOL I wish he were still alive to know what a Legacy he has left in his life.

The video is amazing! Not only is Elvis gorgeous and sounds amazing as always. But you can see the sweat and the pores on his face! He winked at the camera and my heart skipped a beat! It was like he was winking at me! I was 7 in 1973 and unable to attend the concert. I felt like I was right there and had the best seat in the house! There will never be another Elvis. He was one of a kind. When I get to heaven I am looking forward to seeing Jesus, my dad and kissing Elvis!🥰😜. There are just no words! What a thrill it must have been to be at that concert.

I've been an Elvis fan for lots of years but for some reason have missed the years that made up the later years of his life. I had watch this concert live on TV and also had recorded it on VHS some years later and I still have it. However, now that we have a large screen LCD HDTV I ordered this DVD one night and it was delivered just several days later. Is all I can say is that this DVD exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The video and sound are almost better than being in a live concert in one of the best seats. I could understand every word he spoke or sang and the instrumentation was outstanding. Since receiving this DVD, I have listened to it every night. I just can't stop watching it. He's even a better singer and entertainer than I remembered. I would recommend this DVD to any one that really wants to see and hear Elvis at his best. By the way, the "like new" condition DVD's are just like they say on Amazon.. LIKE NEW! Also, the service and delivery is superb. Wheneve I order things from or through Amazon, I always get better than what I expected plus delivered sooner than I expected. Also, theit return policy and customer service it totally exceptional!!!!

Nice. Thanks

Les plus belles chansons et ce DVD est complet.

Arrivé rapidement et en excellent état très bon dvd

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1973. Elvis ist musikalisch auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere. Er bricht in den Konzerthallen der USA einen Besucherrekord nach dem anderen und auch die Plattenverkäufe laufen außerordentlich gut. Privat und gesundheitlich jedoch fängt es langsam an zu kriseln. Priscilla hat sich bereits Ende 1971 von Ihm getrennt und erste Anzeichen seiner später wesentlich ausgeprägteren Gewichtsproblemen machen Ihm immer wieder zu schaffen. Dennoch bringt er sich zu Beginn des Jahres '73 noch einmal in körperliche Hochform. Schlank und braungebrannt ist er bereit für die größte Herausforderung seines Lebens. Ein Live Konzert, das weltweit via Satellit ausgestrahlt werden soll. Ein bis dato noch nicht da gewesenes Ereignis. 1 Milliarde Menschen sahen dieses mediale Großereignis damals im Fernsehen. Auch wenn Elvis sichtlich nervös wirkte und sich nicht annähernd mehr so viel bewegte wie noch wenige Jahre zuvor (z.B. That's the way it is 1970) ist er doch stimmlich in Bestform und liefert eine sehr solide Show ab. Das Standard-Programm des letzten Jahres wurde mit Liedern wie Steamroller Blues, My way, It's over, I'll remember you, I'm so lonesome i could cry, You gave me a mountain und Something von den Beatles bereichert um eine Kopie der Madison Square Garden Show, welche nur ein halbes Jahr zuvor veröffentlicht wurde, zu vermeiden. Nachdem das Konzert ja in geschnittener Form schon Mitte der 80er Jahre als Musikvideo auf den Markt kam und die Generalprobenshow ein wenig später erhältlich war, ist es nun 31 Jahre danach erstmals möglich die beiden Konzerte vom 12. und 14. Jänner 1973 in kompletter Form in wirklich hervorragender Bild und Tonqualität zu erleben. Auch das Bonusmaterial, welches zum ersten Mal erhältlich ist, wie die komplette Aufnahme-Session nach dem regulären Konzert, Elvis' Ankunft mit dem Hubschrauber sowie die bereits veröffentlichte US Version des Konzerts, lässt keine Wünsche offen. Alles in Allem ein absolutes Muss für alle Fans und alle die es noch werden wollen.
