Elvis Presley - Aloha From Hawaii [Deluxe Edition] CD

Elvis Presley made television and entertainment history with his Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii concert television special. The performance took place on January 14, 1973. The concert was beamed live via Satellite to over 10 countries. It was seen on delay in approximately thirty European countries shortly after. On April 4th, an edited version of the concert, expanded with songs videotaped just after the live event, was presented in America on NBC, attracting 51% of the television viewing audience. In all, it was seen by 1-to-1.5 billion people. Never before had one performer held the world's attention in such a way. Aloha from Hawaii presents Elvis Presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom, giving one of the most outstanding performances of his career. These two deluxe DVD's with meticulously remastered sound and picture and previously unreleased material, are by far the most exciting version of Aloha that has ever been presented.
