Product Description
Elvis presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom giving one of the most outstanding concert performances of his career. 25 of elvis greatest hits including a special bonus song never before included on any telecast no more. Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 08/23/2005
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

I bought this for my mother for Christmas and found myself grooving to it more than she did. The sound is spectacular, the picture crisp, and the entire performance endearing, hilarious, and simply rockin'. You will not be making a mistake in buying this. I don't know what the VHS version sounded like, but this one is right on the money. Elvis is back!!

The Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii (Deluxe Edition DVD) is just great. My wife and I watched the two DVD set all the way through as soon as it arrived. What memories. This is a fantastic addition to our DVD collection, along with all the Elvis CDs we have, we have a well rounded collection.

If you're an Elvis fan, this is an amazing concert to add to your collection! This along with the 68 Comeback Special show Elvis at the top of his game. There will never be anyone like him, but at least we can watch him on DVD whenever he want. I would give this deluxe dvd more than 5 stars if I could. The quality of his performances and the DVD itself are really great!
