Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This rehearsal for Elvis Presley's historic January 1973 satellite broadcast, Aloha from Hawaii, provides a fascinating contrast to the better-known, often lionized TV concert. While minor technical glitches and a few between-songs remarks betray its run-through status, this performance trumps the broadcast in musical terms, its headliner more focused and vocally confident, his mood more relaxed and carefree alongside the next night's intermittent tensions. For loyal fans, it's a worthwhile companion; for more skeptical viewers, the rehearsal tapes underscore the mounting pressures, signaled the next night, that would soon pull the King inexorably from his throne.

For video release, the program includes most of the pre-concert sequence seen on Aloha from Hawaii before cutting to the rehearsal footage. This is Elvis poised at a turning point, now far from the Memphis truck driver who metamorphosed into rock & roll icon 18 years earlier, sifting Vegas glitz and Hollywood drama into his show. The remarkable Presley stage band (boasting legendary guitarist James Burton) is reliably tight and powerful, and the song list is identical to the telecast, save for bonus tracks subsequently added to that program. --Sam Sutherland

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - 1973-1977
In January 1973, Elvis filmed his awesome Aloha From Hawaii TV show. THAT is the video to buy for a great look at Elvis. He plays the same songs as in this show, but he plays better in the real concert. Here, he is tense, boring, unprepared and stiff. He completely forgets "Burning Love," he has mistakes in a lot of his other songs, and he does LESS songs than in the live broadcast.

The Elvis presented here is more along the lines of the 1977 Elvis, you know, the one who skipped verses ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Comfortably numb?
I saw this on local television yesterday and I must agree with the texas viewer. What a let down after watching "That's the way it is special edition". Sad... Elvis is not "relaxed", he is numb, lethargic, slow and glassy-eyed. Unassured on his feet, he walks the stage hesitantly, like he doesn't know where he's going and might fall down. He is not having a good time, anyway it would be impossible, stoned like that.

If you're interested in this concert, get the record instead (the official ... Read More
