Album Notes Personnel includes: Elvis Presley (vocals); J.D. Sumner & The Stamps, Kathy Westmoreland & The Sweet Inspirations (background vocals). Compilation producers: Ernst Mikael Jorgensen, Roger Semon. Recorded live at the Honolulu International Center, Honolulu, Hawaii on January 14, 1973. Throughout the late-'60s and early-'70s, Elvis Presley and his manager Colonel Tom Parker staged a series of media events designed to keep Elvis in the spotlight. The NBC comeback television special, Elvis' return to live performance, and a four-show run at Madison Square Garden (with a live album released one week after the final concert) were all publicity coups that focused national attention on the King. Each, however, required that the next event be even larger and more spectacular. This is certainly the thinking that motivated ALOHA FROM HAWAII VIA SATELLITE, a concert broadcast live to the Pacific and (one day later) to Europe (the show did not air in the U.S.until several months later). A reported one billion viewers tuned in, undoubtedly making the ALOHA show the single-most watched concert of all time. ALOHA is a mix of rockers, quiet ballads, and bombastic pop, all performed with full-throttle energy and emotion. This edition of ALOHA includes for the first time several Hawaiian-flavored songs recorded immediately after the concert, to be used on the soundtrack of the U.S. broadcast. Also among the after-hours batch of songs is Elvis' version of Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain." | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||

Report this review  The King Responds To A Challenge...One Last TimeReview created: 03/14/08 by: ecn71270 -- a member of Epinions Pros: One of the all-time great live albums, from the one and only King Cons: Sadly, this was the last challenge he'd ever get Without a doubt, Elvis Presley got to be the King by responding to challenges. When it looked like his whole career was hanging by a thread in the late 1960s because of those hideous B-movies he was forced to make, virtually at gunpoint, by his penny-wise, pound-foolish manager, he took it upon himself to make the "Comeback" TV special in 1968. He then returned to recording in his hometown of Memphis in 1969, creating some of the greatest pop music in history. And in 1972, his appearances at Madison Square Garden were sold out and resulted in a hugely successful live album. And then, on... Review ID: 10000000006848906 One man sang - A billion listenedReview created: 12/02/00 by: iangrant -- a member of Epinions Pros: Elvis at his best Cons: None that come to mind On 14 January 1973, Elvis Presley stepped on stage at the Honolulu Convention Centre and sang to a billion people via satellite around the world (excluding the US and UK). The number of viewers exceeded those who watched the first walk on the moon. The subsequent double album quadraphonic recording of the event hit the top position on Billboard s Album chart and remained on the chart for 52 weeks. As a visual event, the show was a little disappointing as Elvis (though lean and looking damn cool) did not shake his legs or swivel his famous hips that much. Even his karate kicks and aerial chops. Review ID: 10000000000229832 Pelvis Rex?Review created: 07/29/00 by: lansky2000 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Greatest entertainer of all time... Cons: Wish there were more like it... Let's face it, Elvis is the greatest rocker of all time, and I was around back when it took four guys to knock him off. It was back when Elvis was doing those crappy movies and the Beatles invaded the country. WINS-AM was conducting an on-radio poll and the Beatles just managed to topple the King. The history of rock kinda changed after that, and Elvis slunk off to lick his wounds. It didn't seem possible back around '54 when Elvis ruled the roost in the new genre Alan Freed called Rock and Roll. His heartthrob Creole looks and his gyrating stage style broke open the floodgates for dozens of.. Review ID: 10000000000229833 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
