Advantages: a great album
Disadvantages: none

...’s Running Scared on the box set “Elvis – The Essential 70’s Masters Whole Lot-Ta Shakin’ Goin’ On Originally recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis. He is really enjoying himself on this track. A longer version can be found on “A Hundred Years From Now – Essential Elvis 4” Funny How Time Slips Away Written by Willie Nelson. Later on in his career he used this song to dedicate his fans. This is a love song that Elvis used in concert many times. I Really Don’t Want to Know Song about a lost love. Brilliant song to dance too. Can see him performing this live in 1970 on Elvis – The Lost Performances. Was not performed live again until 1977.

Advantages: Pure Elvis (the first live global satellite broadcast in history !)
Disadvantages: None what so ever !

...love for music that shines out. The songs have feelings and can reach out and touch you as he sings them so well. Elvis also paid his tribute to Hawaii by performing some of the songs that were included in the soundtrack of his movie 'Blue Hawaii', which he made in Hawaii in the early 1960's. The beautiful 'Hawaiian wedding song' and the title track 'Blue Hawaii'. I believe that Elvis was the greatest live performer. The songs that he sang in Hawaii in 1973 still contain the same magic now as they did then. Watch the concert now and the passion and love for music that Elvis possessed is clear to see. This concert was ground breaking and was the first of it's kind to be globally broadcast by satellite and I don't think ever will again.... Read review
