It was beamed live via Globecam Satellite to various countries, on a delayed basis to approximately thirty European countries and it first aired in America that April 4th on NBC in edited form. The American broadcast version included four 'insert' songs that were shot just after the concert. In all, the concert was seen in over forty countries by close to 1.5 billion people, a global ratings smash. Never before had one performer held the world's attention in such a way.

Full review
On the 14th January 1973, Elvis Presley gave a show at the Honolulu International Centre (in aid of the 'Kui Lee Cancer Fund', that would be beamed around the world, via satelite. It waws seen by nearly one and a half BILLION people. The show in which Elvis threw his 1000$ belt into the crowd.
This 2 disc DVD set that gives accounts of both the the originally aired 'live' show, the rehearsal (shot a day before) and the edited version that aired in America a few months later. There are also the additional songs recorded for the american version e.g. Ku-u-i-po and Hawaain Wedding song, seen here totally uncut in the recording stage and the versions used in the show, as well as the full footage of Elvis' arrival by helicopter to the Centre.
My view: Simply brilliant! It is an absolute pleasure to be able to watch one of the greatest talents ever to walk the earth in his prime. I have never seen anything that is even comparable to this, the concert itself its breathtaking with amazing performances of classics such as Suspicious Minds, Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes. As well as the best vocals i have ever heard from a live show in 'American Trilogy'.
I would recommend this to anybody with even a slightest interest in music as without Elvis, music doesn't exist and i find it great that Elvis will live forever with this DVD set, it is just a shame that more of his performances couldn't be captured on film.
Just to add the picture and sound quality on this DVD are actually excellent, especially considering how old it is i failed to notice any glitches and the sound is first class. The digital remasterers earned their fee with this one. A little advice, watch it on a large screen t.v. it's like having Elvis in your living room live!
