Customer Reviews

No bells and whistles, just the basic 1973 special
This DVD is a basic presentation of Elvis' excellent 1973 Hawaiian concert TV special, which was broadcast worldwide. If you want an in-depth presentation, you should get the 2 DVD Deluxe edition. This DVD includes the footage of the original show including post-concert performances of 5 songs recorded for the US TV show. Elvis' performances are outstanding and this is one of his best live concerts of the 70's. The performance may seem simple by today's mega-star standards, there are no background dancers or pyrotechnic displays, and Elvis does not jump around the stage like he did in his younger days (of course he doesn't lip-sync to pre-recorded tracks like some of today's stars do), but it was top of the line for 1973. In 1973 few stars put on "stage shows" for their concerts. For the most part they just got on stage and sung their songs, and Elvis does a great job at that. This is proof that Elvis was still at the top of his art in 1973! The bonus material includes some photos but really does not add much to the set. This DVD should be enough for the casual fan and it is available at a reasonable price. Hardcore fans will want the deluxe edition.

A MUST for Elvis fans
This is the "King" at his very best. At the hieght of his career for looks, stage presence and voice. This is his best live show ever. Well filmed and produce. It showcases his vocal range and inimitable style.

Bringing back memories
This DVD is Elvis at his best. Saw Elvis in person in 1972 and it's just like being there. If six srar rating were provided I'd give it just that.
