Elvis made television and entertainment history with his Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii - via satellite concert special. Performed at the Honolulu international Center Arena on January 14, 1973 at 12;30 AM Hawaiian time, it was beamed live via Globecam satellite to Australia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, South Vietnam and other counties, and was seen on a delayed basis in approximately thirty Europian counties. The first American airing was April 4th on NBC-TV. It was worldwide ratings smash and the soundtrack album went to number one on the billboard album chart. The American broadcast attracted 51% of the television viewing audience and was seen in more American households than man's first walk on the moon. In all, it was initially seen in approximately forty countries by 1 -to- 1,5 billion people. Over the years rebroadcasts and home video distribution have allowed the show to reach millions upon millions more. Entertainment events presented live via satellite are common today, but in 1973, this was a first. Never before had one performer held the word's attention in such a way. Possibly no one has since. Aloha from Hawaii presents Elvis Presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom, giving one of the most outstandin concert performances of his career.

collector's note: Elvis' performance of I'm so lonesome I could cry, I can't stop loving you and Johnny B. goode in the concert have been deleted from this edition of the video package.
