This is a pretty good size clip of the concert. Elvis does a medely of songs.
On January 14, 1973; Elvis did a fundraiser in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Honolulu International Center Arena for the "Kuiokalani
Lee Cancer" Fund. The concert was called "Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii". He sang "I'll Remember You" to honor the late Hawaiian composer, a cancer victim. Thus, there
was no admission fee. Although, they did ask if people could make a contribution of what they can. The special contained a concert performance by Elvis before a
live audience. Then, after the audience left, Elvis recorded five more songs for his album. Elvis was once again costumed by Bill Belew, this time in an American
theme symbolized by his eagle cape. The show begins with scenes of Elvis arriving by helicopter while in the background, the theme song from his 1965 movie "Paradise,
Hawaiian Style". The performance begins with the up-beat sounds of Richard Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra"(theme from 2001) and closed with "I Can't Help Falling In Love".
This special was probably the most recognized, memorable concerts put on T.V. It was filmed via satellite. All together, more than 1.5 billion people saw this special.
Although it was seen in over 40 countries, it was not yet broadcast in the U.S. until April 4, 1973. Over 51 percent of the people that saw this special were from the U.S.
