Amazon.com essential video
Far superior to any previous home-video version, the huge deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii captures over four hours of footage from the King's historic televised concert from January 1973. The main concert is presented in its entirety for the first time since its original worldwide satellite telecast, and reedited to remove the now-dated split-screen "montage" look. But that's not all--as a prelude to the concert, the first disc includes 17 uncut minutes of the "Elvis arrives" footage (only 2 minutes of which appears in the concert film) followed by the complete rehearsal concert that took place two days before the telecast. This rehearsal, which was released separately on video as The Alternate Aloha Concert, is rougher than the official show, but more relaxed and often more satisfying musically.

Leading off disc 2 is footage of five songs ("Blue Hawaii," "Ku-U-I-Po," "No More," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and "Early Morning Rain"), including multiple takes, recorded after the performance, four of which ("No More" was the exception) were incorporated into the American television special that was shown a few months after the live telecast. Those four songs are not included in the uncut version of the concert on disc 1, but the original version of the American television special is also on disc 2 so you can watch the concert the way you've always watched it for the sake of nostalgia, or you can compare it to all the other pieces you've seen and decide which you like better. Either way, Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii is an embarrassment of riches that's rivaled only by its companion release, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis's '68 Comeback Special. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

FIRST SCREENING IN GRACELAND WAS STUNNING!
IF THERE IS ONE CONCERT THAT DEFINES THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL - IN ALL HIS GLORY - IT IS THIS! I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT ATTENDED THE FIRST SCREENING OF THIS DVD IN GRACELAND AT ELVIS'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT EXPERIENCE! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD TO ALL MY FRIENDS. EVERYONE THAT WATCHES THIS WILL BE MESMERIZED, FROM THE MOST AVID ELVIS FAN, TO THOSE THAT HAVE NOT EVER SEEN AN ELVIS MOVIE. GRACELAND EXECUTIVES DID THE WORLD A GREAT FAVOR BY CAREFULLY REVIEWING ALL THE EXISTING FOOTAGE FROM EACH CAMERA SHOT, AND PICKING THE BEST SHOTS OF ELVIS THAT WERE AVAILABLE. THE SOUND IS REMASTERED AND IT IS BETTER THAN EVER! THIS IS THE UNCUT ALOHA FROM HAWAII CONCERT INCLUDING THE SONGS THAT ELVIS PERFORMED AFTER THE CONCERT ENDED BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT DAY WAS REALLLY SOMETHING SPECIAL. I HAVE ALREADY PRE-ORDERED THIS RAW, UNCUT, COMPLETE HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. If you saw the first "Aloha from Hawaii", this is more than a billion times more exciting, and there is NO COMPARISON. Words can not describe how exciting this is! I CAN NOT EVER SAY ENOUGH FOR IT! LONG LIVE THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!

Outstanding - he's back and clearer than ever.
I'll be brief and to the point.
This dvd remastering is fantastic. You can see the pores in his skin, the follicles of his hair. The sound is beautiful. We have all already seen the concert, but not like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you goes out to all the people who painstakingly beautified this dvd to its peak visual and aural symphony.
Well done and enjoy it!

This is the moment I've waited for
This Deluxe Edition DVD features pretty much everything you could ask for in regards to Elvis Aloha from Hawaii. You get the staged footage of Elvis arriving in Hawaii and greeting fans, which is actually pretty boring. You get the complete rehearsal concert that was taped two days before the live broadcast. Elvis shows more energy here than in the broadcast concert, but he forgets more of the lyrics and sings two less songs. You get the complete Aloha from Hawaii Concert, which has been re-edited from scratch. The show was originally broadcast with quite a bit of "montage" footage, which means multiple images from the concert seen on the screen all at once in video blocks, but almost all of those effects were removed from this version. After the concert, Elvis recorded five songs on stage with no audience, which were inserted into the concert after commercial breaks, played with montage footage of Hawaii. The complete footage of that recording session is here, complete with all takes of each song, with no footage of Hawaii. Finally, the original broadcast version of Elvis Aloha from Hawaii is included, minus the commercials. What more can you ask for?
