The Rehearsal Concert For The Historic 1973 Television Special

On January 12, 1973, Elvis performed in concert at the Honolulu International Center, but it was more than just another stop in a very busy concert tour schedule.This performance served as a full dress rehearsal for a similar but expanded show that would take place two days later, the historic global television special Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii - via satellite.

Audience tickets for both the rehearsal show and the broadcast show carried no price.Each audience member was asked to pay whatever he or she could afford.The full proceeds from ticket and concert merchandise sales were designated to benefit the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii.At least $75,000 was raised, a fact Elvis proudly states during both shows as he segues into his rendition of I'll Remember You, a hit by singer/songwriter Kuiokalaani Lee (Kui Lee).

Seen in 40 countries by 1.5 billion people, the Aloha From Hawaii television special remains one of Elvis Presley's most celebrated performances and has long been available on home video.But, it was not until 1997 that the rehearsal show was officially released on home video.

The Alternate Aloha Concert is not only a fine performance in and of itself, but it also gives viewers an intimate opportunity to share in the energy and excitemnet of a great and magical entertainer at the threshold of a monumental event in his career.
