 Historic July 24, 2007
Eric Cornelius (Bethany,Oklahoma)
This may be the single best cd released by rca since the day the music died...aug.16,1977.much has been both written and said about Elvis' classic historical live concert...but not much was known about the rehearsel...until now.Elvis sounds extremely loose on these songs.And you can sense this is about to be something historical...that he is on the tip of a large ice berg...on the edge of history.The play list was the same as the concert but the order is changed just slightly.Its just the idea of this being BEFORE the concert that makes this instant history.A must have if there ever was one.

This is a recording of the dress rehearsal for the concert from Hawaii the following evening.
Presley's often off key and off-mike. He's tired, forgets lyrics, he's just running through the tunes and doesn't sound like he want to be there.
He races through "Suspicious Minds, is drowned out by the piano in "My Way", barely audible in "It's Over", does a sad fat Elvis self-impersonation of "Hound Dog"
He slurs like he's drunk or drugged on "Fever", "I Can't help Falling in Love With You" is so bad it's annoying, and all the audience screaming only makes it worse.
The engineering is equally bad, with an audience mixed way too loud to create a phony sense of excitement for this pathetic performance.
The actual concert the following evening was a masterpiece by engineered by the legendary Bill Potter.
The notes makes outladish claims that this is "A superb Presley performance from the acme of his career", and that this is a "truly extraordinary album".
Don't waste your money. It's a complete rip-off.
We'd like to ask you if you'd leave the building as soon as possible. October 18, 2005

This is the dress rehearsal for the Aloha From Hawaii televison special. Some people prefer it to the "official" Aloha concert, but the concerts aren't actually all that different from each other. Elvis seems slightly more relaxed here, maybe too relaxed, he forgets some of the verses of "Burning Love" and "Steamroller Blues". The main difference is that this concert has two less songs than the other one. This CD includes three of the five special "insert" songs recorded for the American broadcast (the remastered Aloha From Hawaii CD includes all five of them). The "insert" songs include false starts and between song conversations, where the director gives Elvis instructions and Elvis expresses his annoyance at having to record these songs at 3:00 in the morning. This is a nice CD to have, but the remastered Aloha from Hawaii CD has better sound quality. Of course, "real" Elvis fans will want to have both concerts.
Isn't this fun? October 18, 2005
