Customer Reviews of Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite

Erratic Elvis
Elvis is by far the greatest artist of all time and I am a huge fan owning most of his material but this album is not as good as people make it out to be.In many of the songs he sounds bored and lethargic and much of his passion is lost.The problem with the 70's is you have to sift through live and studio cuts to find gems.Elvis's true artistry was displayed in the 50's and when he came out of the army.Then he started to waver with sub standard material from the films.He redeemed himself with the 1968 comeback special where he sang some of his classic Sun and RCA songs better than he did originally,his voice more gravely and bluesy.From then on his recordings ranged from sheer brilliance to ghastly pap.Research before you buy because RCA will release anything that moves or doesn't move in order to see dollar signs.The colonel would be a Proud Mary.

Elvis Aloha From Hawaii: In pre-historic sound
It is a great album but do not buy it.

Instead purchase: Elvis Aloha From Hawaii 25th Anniversary Edition

It has remastered sound, added tracks and added speaking parts by Elvis to the audience.

I would only give this origal disc 3 stars due to sound quality.

THE GREATEST LIVE CONCERT ALBUM EVER
Of all the live ELVIS concert albums, this has got to be considered the best. The song selection was magnificent and Elvis does them all with a special flavor which was his and his alone. Close rivals to this album was the LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN & THE '68 COMEBACK SPECIAL,but neither of these approaches the scope of the ALOHA special. To me, the defining song it this album was AMERICAN TRILOGY and, of course, my all time favorite, his closing CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE. Never a better locale for that song than Hawaii itself..from whence the song was an integral part of the BLUE HAWAII soundtrack.
