first global satellite broadcast devoted to a single entertainer. Both the broadcast and its companion album captured the King in his most grandiose persona, fuelled by Hollywood scale and Vegas glitz, as a caped pop superhero.He may have looked trim, but posthumous accounts (especially Peter Guralnick'sCareless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley, the second volume in his definitive biography) confirm what a second look suggests--on this evening, Elvis was alternately overwhelmed and distracted, bravura renditions of signature songs (most triumphantly, the "American Trilogy" medley originated by Mickey Newbury) offset by less-focused readings. Fans may still savour a generous and diverse song list, but viewed beside Presley's earlier, more consistent performances (including a rehearsal the previous night, since released asThe Alternate Aloha Concert), this legendary concert anticipates Presley's imminent decline.In this remastered version, three songs have been deleted due to music clearance issues, while four songs taped after the actual show have been inserted. A fifth bonus track, "No More," makes its first appearance on video.--Sam Sutherland

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!
