Hawaii - Authentic Hawaiian Guitar Vol.1 - Hawaiian Trio & Takiti

Advantages: Some great songs from the world's greatest performer
Disadvantages: None

...ALOHA FROM HAWAII is the soundtrack CD for the television special Elvis made in January 1973. The show was the first ever music concert broadcast live around the world via satellite, and was watched by an audience of over 1 billion people. The show was a fund-raising benefit to raise money for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund and amazingly the event raised over 3 times the estimate, making $75,000 for the fund. Although this sounds small for an event of this kind in this day and age, in 1973 this was a huge sum, and very surprising. The 25th anniversary CD features the full concert from 14 January 1973, and in addition it features a bonus 5 songs Elvis recorded after the concert, which were added to the US broadcast version of the show. At this time in his live shows Elvis was including an awful lot of chat in addition to his songs, much... Read review

...Ok Welcome to this review on " the best air guitar album in the world " Vol.2. Well I got this album for my Christmas in 2002 I think, after my dad got the first 1. I kept hinting every time we went shopping and on Christmas day I woke up to find it in my stocking. This is a double disk CD by various artists comprised for air guitar rockers around the world.

And A free Night of passion with…. The Air Britney !!!! Note. Passion not included. Ok so... Read review

Advantages: Probably his Greatest Performance
Disadvantages: None Really

...This in my humble opinion is the king at his absolute majestic best. He never looked better, he never sounded better, and the mix of old and new numbers is, well , inspired! Date line January 14th 1973, the much maligned 'Colonel' has had an idea to make a World wide telecast using the brand new 'satalite' technology. Elvis will perform some of his greatest numbers as well as some newer tracks to a WORLD WIDE audience LIVE!!! At a rehursal show (also available on cd) Elvis has already recorded the whole show plus a handful of 'Hawaiian' trcks incase of a technical breakdown. The show will be performed infront of a live audience in Elvis's spiritual home of Hawaii. The audience have paid whatever they thought fit for their tickets and far from raising the target of $25,000 the fans have collectively paid some $75,000 for the honour... Read review
