Full review

On the 14th January 1973, Elvis Presley gave a show at the Honolulu International Centre (in aid of the 'Kui Lee Cancer Fund', that would be beamed around the world, via satellite. It was seen by nearly one and a half BILLION people. The show in which Elvis threw his 1000$ cape into the crowd.

This cd included every song recoreded live from the concert and there are also the additional songs recorded for the american version e.g. Ku-u-i-po and Hawaain Wedding song.

The sound quality is also excellent, especially considering how old the recording is and the sound is first class. The digital remasterers earned their fee with this one.

My view: Simply brilliant! It is an absolute pleasure to be able to listen to one of the greatest talents ever to walk the earth in his prime. I have never seen anything that is even comparable to this, the concert itself its breathtaking with amazing performances of classics such as Suspicious Minds, Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes. As well as the best vocals i have ever heard from a live show in 'American Trilogy'. In my whole life i have never seen a live performance that comes anywhere near this, this cd will show you why Elvis is the king and why he is the greatest singer ever to have lived.
