Elvis Presley - Elvis In Hawaii-The Alternate Aloha Show, 01-12-1973 (VHSrip)

"Honolulu, January 12 - January 14, 1973

These shows are two of the best known concerts performed by Elvis, or even anybody ever. Not only because they are great performances but because the 14th January show was beamed LIVE Worldwide and was viewed by approximately one billion people on that night or that's what the Colonel made everybody to think of. That's an amazing one third of the population. Elvis wore the American eagle jumpsuit for these shows that were performed in the H.I.C. arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. There have been many Video/DVD releases of these two shows and the definitive release was Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii in 2004.

These shows were to raise money for the Kui Lee Cancer fund where they expected to raise $2500.00 and they raise $7500.00 for the fund.

After the concert on 14th January that was broadcast live worldwide Elvis recorded the following songs for inclusion in the USA version of the show on April 4th (?): Blue Hawaii, KU-U-I-PO, No More, Hawaiian Wedding Song and Early Morning Rain. These were included in the 2004 DVD Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii. Theses were all released (audio) as bonuses on the RCA CD of the 12th January show." (Source: Elvisconcerts.com)
