Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii (Deluxe Edition DVD)

Amazon.com essential video

Far superior to any previous home-video version, the huge deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii captures over four hours of footage from the King's historic televised concert from January 1973. The main concert is presented in its entirety for the first time since its original worldwide satellite telecast, and reedited to remove the now-dated split-screen "montage" look. But that's not all--as a prelude to the concert, the first disc includes 17 uncut minutes of the "Elvis arrives" footage (only 2 minutes of which appears in the concert film) followed by the complete rehearsal concert that took place two days before the telecast. This rehearsal, which was released separately on video as The Alternate Aloha Concert, is rougher than the official show, but more relaxed and often more satisfying musically.

Leading off disc 2 is footage of five songs ("Blue Hawaii," "Ku-U-I-Po," "No More," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and "Early Morning Rain"), including multiple takes, recorded after the performance, four of which ("No More" was the exception) were incorporated into the American television special that was shown a few months after the live telecast. Those four songs are not included in the uncut version of the concert on disc 1, but the original version of the American television special is also on disc 2 so you can watch the concert the way you've always watched it for the sake of nostalgia, or you can compare it to all the other pieces you've seen and decide which you like better. Either way, Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii is an embarrassment of riches that's rivaled only by its companion release, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis's '68 Comeback Special. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

The best Elvis performance. Get leid!.......2007-09-16

The performance is classic with some of the best rockin roll songs. Iconic Elvis. He even busts out the karate moves. My favorite song is Hunka-hunka Burnin Love.

Elvis in Hawaii is great...............2007-09-14

With the 30 year anniversary of Elvis' death recently, I fell back in love with Elvis's music. The Hawaii concert is my favorite. I played in a band in the seventies and performed many of the songs that are on this DVD. It brings back many fond memories. I enjoy Elvis' voice in his later years than earlier. He had an unbelievable voice that has not been matched before or since. A voice rangeing 3 octives is extraordinary. He may have made it shaking and dancing in the 50's but his voice on this DVD in the 70's was much better. He had a great band. You will not regret buying this DVD. I miss him more now than I did 30 years ago.

Elvis was the real deal.......2007-08-24

As a certified 100% Percent Elvis Fan and Graceland visitor I can say with out a doubt. When you see a concert like this I can say ELVIS IS NOT DEAD!! He lives in our hearts. He's the man.

One Of The Most Important Moment of The Music.......2007-08-10

A great show to celebrate the music and the person of a man who bring his own image and the incomparable voice to another degree on the world music... And still hard to believe that Elvis Presley never went to others countries...

About this version, what can I say? It's a really great stuff to collect! On the first disc you will find two shows that happened on Hawaii plus, a short video when Elvis arrived at the Island... On the second disc, another version of the main show but with some changes made by the television broadcast.. All this stuff in a pretty package...

Don't think... You have to buy It!

Elvis Aloha From Hawaii.......2007-04-12

It is a complete package (original TV broadcast version, and unedited version of that same show, and the "dress rehearsal" show that preceded it. Take your choice, they are all here. A must for any Elvis fan.

Thirty songs, spread out over two discs and well over two and a half hours, with fine performances, great sound, and good visual direction: it's all here on Farewell 1 Tour, a documentary of the Eagles' 2004 concert in Melbourne, Australia. At one point, the veteran band seemed unlikely to even make it to the new millennium, but here they are, mostly intact, with a string of hits dating back more than three decades. The majority of them are performed here, from the earliest ("Take It Easy," "Desperado," "Peaceful Easy Feeling") through "Hotel California" and "Life in the Fast Lane" and right up to "Love Will Keep Us Alive" (from Hell Freezes Over, their most recent recording with new material on it); there are also hits from Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Joe Walsh's solo careers, and a few new songs as well, including Walsh's "One Day at a Time" (an earnest ode to his new-found sobriety) and "Hole in the World," Frey and Henley's moving, almost gospel-tinged reaction to the events of 9/11/01. Guitarist Don Felder, who split acrimoniously with the band in 2001, isn't much missed, as replacement Steuart Smith plays the parts just as Felder did--i.e., pretty much exactly as they were recorded (indeed, pristine recreations of the studio versions of their songs has always been a hallmark of the Eagles' live shows). As for the somewhat cheeky title, well, there's always been a certain smugness to the Eagles' sense of humor, and it's no different this time, as Frey doesn't even pretend that there won't be a Farewell 2 Tour in the future. And why not? These are good songs, played beautifully by the quartet (plus supplemental musicians) to audiences that love them. Bonus material is limited to perfunctory interviews with the band. --Sam Graham

Description

Without doubt, the Eagles are one of the all-time biggest acts in popular music since the dawn of the rock'n'roll era. The band's roots go back to their role as defining artists in the phenomenally popular Southern California rock scene of the '70s, a decade in which they delivered four consecutive #1 albums. Their momentous 2004 farewell tour filled stadiums around the world, and this 2-DVD set captures one of the most stellar events from that now-historic global sweep. Track Listings: Disc 1: Long Run, New Kid in Town, Wasted Time, Peaceful Easy Feeling, I Can't Tell You Why, One of These Nights, One Day At A Time (New Track), Lyin' Eyes, Boys of Summer, In The City, Already Gone, Tequila Sunrise, Love Will Keep Us Alive, No More Cloudy Days (New Track), Hole In the World, Take It To the Limit, Disc 2: You Belong to the City, Walk Away, Sunset Grill, Life's Been Good, Dirty Laundry, Funk #49, Heartache Tonight, Life in the Fast Lane, Hotel California, Rocky Mountain Way, All She Wants To Do Is Dance, Take It Easy, Desperado

Customer Reviews:

Great music.......2007-09-09

I had great seats at the tour when it came back to America and the show is just as I remember it. The musicianship is great as always, and the video does a good job of putting you in the theater with the group. Almost every song from the Eagles you would expect is here along with solo hits and Joe Walsh is terrific. A must buy!

Induces chills & great memories.......2007-09-01

I can't add much to what everybody else has said. Beautifully performed and recorded. You can't find a better DTS sound-track. I wish that Don Felder had never left the band, but new (session?) guitarist Stuart Smith has got Don's licks down perfectly. It is also cool to see Al Garth is still at it on sex[sax] and violence[violins]. Now, if Jackson Browne would put out a concert DVD with a full band including David Lindley and Little Feat would release a DVD of "Waiting for Columbus", I can die happily in my recliner.

FRICKIN' GOOD!.......2007-08-29

These guys are so frickin' good! Hundreds of years from now, people are still going to be saying the same thing! Heck, even martians in other galaxies are going to be saying it!

Great Entertainment - Great Music!!!.......2007-08-23

This is an outstanding music video - it has all of their hits and has you singing along.....highly recommended!

If you can't go to an Eagles concert, watch this DVD!.......2007-08-02

This is probably one of the BEST concert DVDs I have had the pleasure of watching.

I have been an Eagles fan for a long time and, unfortunately, have NEVER seen them live. This DVD, filmed in Melbourne, Australia, is the next best thing to being there.

The sound and picture quality are both excellent. Each member of the band, including the horn section and backup players, had their moment to shine.

Now for the Eagles themselves. Those guys have only gotten BETTER with age. Their harmonies are just about the most perfect I have ever heard. Each one of them gets to sing lead and do some of their solo works (Henley's "Boys of Summer" is fantastic). Joe Walsh, the court jester of rock and roll, seems to be having the time of his life and brings a refreshing amount of comic relief to the band without overdoing it. It's obvious that these guys have long since gotten over their differences and now enjoy a level of chemistry that is far beyond what they had ever had in the past.

The concert is full-length and sports some pretty good extras featuring back stage moments and interviews with the band.

Of particular note is the NEW Frey-penned song "No More Cloudy Days". What a great song! Hopefully, it will be on the next Eagles album (when the heck is it being released already?????).

Eagles fans will not be disappointed.

WELL worth the money!

Self-professed "singer of the American West" John Denver shines in this heartfelt, 1995 live concert to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society. Favorite songs such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Wild Montana Skies," and "Fly Away" are moving and gain fresh perspective from brief comments by Denver. Lesser-known songs like "Eagles and Horses" and "You Say the Battle Is Over" celebrate the spirit of animals and nature while underlining the importance of preservation. Succinct interview clips express Denver's commitment to nature: exploring man's basic hunger for the wild, the dichotomy between the uncultivated and the city, and the power of the individual to effect preservation and change. Striking though brief footage of wild animals like horses, eagles, penguins, and elephants in their natural habitats serve as bookends to the presentation. The Wildlife Concert is a reflective and moving musical celebration of the American West. --Tami Horiuchi

The best of the best.......2007-07-11

This is one of the best DVD concert among the hundreds that I own. The songs of John Denver are of course outstanding, some of the new arrangement of the old songs made them even better. The message about the wildlife and the wild wild West are also very moving. The price of the DVD is hard to resist, I brought three in addition to my own to give to good friends.

The Best of the Best.......2007-05-17

I own two VHS tapes of the Wildlife Concert. Now, thanks to Amazon.com, I also own the DVD. This is the very best performance of John Denver's much too short career and life. It contains songs many of you will not know or remember. He aged better than a fine wine. His beautiful voice became more beautiful with each passing year.

I was always in awe of him, inspired by him, and felt validated by him. Being very much like him, feeling the same way about my planet, hunger, wildlife, children, animals, and the ecology, made it easy for me to relate to him. He felt what I felt and I'm sure I know how he somehow felt a "man apart", so to speak. I understood.

But John Denver put his heart and his soul into lyrics, then to music. His voice will forever be unequaled. Nothing on this earth, other than a horse, is a beautiful as John Denver's voice. On this DVD, as on no other CD or DVD, is that voice more beautiful or the message more powerful. I miss you, John.

Suzanne Whitaker

Great John Denver Concert. .......2007-05-12

If you are a John Denver fan, you will love this DVD. It is vintage John Denver. He performs hits and some lesser known songs. It is really special to be able to see him in concert again even though we have lost him.

I loved it!.......2007-04-17

What a voice we lost when this man died! And yet, his legacy lives on in this compelling DVD what highlights the best of his music AND supports the work of the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Features the ability to turn on or off written lyrics so you can sing along (or prevent someone from singing along if they don't know the words). Instant chapter access to songs, so you can play your favorites easily. In-depth biography allows those of us who never knew him (and those who did) to know him a little better. Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound or Dolby Stereo.

So many incredible songs! Country Roads, Back Home Again, Rocky Mountain High, Fly Away, Annie's Song, Sunshine (on My Shoulders), Calypso, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Good-bye Again, and many more!

I loved it. This is something anyone can support, even with John Denver gone, that can make a difference in a world increasingly off-balance environmentally. What a legacy to leave behind!

This has all of the old, really good songs that Michael did videos for. No one can go through the 20th Century without being influenced by "Thriller", "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Remember the Time".... The video even caught the attention of my husband who is not "into" MJ and was supposed to be doing something "important". Children, teenagers, young adults and not-so-young adults all love the early songs of the King of Pop. The video is very entertaining and fun.

This DVD sure brings me back to my High School Days. I loved watching all the old plus the newer stuff from Micheal Jackson. I love every single short movie especially the Thriller one. Worth every penny. Great for Collection.

Michael Jackson Revisited.......2007-05-07

I loved the long versions of "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel". I had forgotten why Michael Jackson was called the KING OF POP! He was ahead of his time in style, with his video shorts, and his stories. His underlining stories all deal with the human condition in some way--"The Way You Make Me FeeL" deals with the importance of being yourself when it comes to love and "Bad" deals with being good over being bad.

One sees his style copied by so many of the entertainers from all over the world again and again. He's the KING OF POP and to date no one has surpassed him. Many have tried but none with the impact he has made on the world.

Amazon.com essential video

With each passing year bringing another high-profile rock reunion, prompted as often by balloon mortgage payments as any real artistic hunger, old fans could be excused for greeting 1997's announcement that the big Mac was back with skepticism: at their commercial zenith, Fleetwood Mac had offered superb transatlantic pop-rock with the added spice of a remarkable back-story, but the band's long decline and underwhelming later personnel shifts didn't bode well.

Such guarded expectations make the musical punch of The Dance all the more impressive, and enable the meticulously produced concert special to genuinely surprise. The band's musicianship--the one constant between the original, late '60s English blues band and its platinum '70s lineup featuring guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks--is in peak form, buttressed by a discreet auxiliary of additional musicians. Even with the hired guns, though, it's the rock-solid rhythm section of founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and Buckingham's impassioned playing that strike sparks. Always a dynamic guitarist, Buckingham brings feverish intensity to both group classics and solo turns such as "Go Insane."

Both familiar hits and new songs (including the solid "Temporary One" and "Bleed to Love Her") further confirm that this isn't a rote exercise--the band sounds fully engaged. Buckingham, Nicks, and the elegant Christine McVie retain their vocal charm (although Nicks has clearly lost her upper register). And the sense of old wounds healed, and older affections acknowledged, gives true poignancy to the set's high mark, a brilliant live version of "Silver Springs," a truly haunting Rumours-era B-side that proves deeply moving. --Sam Sutherland

Fantastic.......2007-07-12

I was never much of a fan of Fleetwood Mac, but after seeing this DVD, I get it.

EXCELLENT SOUND AND VISUALS MAKE THIS DVD A MUST!.......2007-07-08

I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac,but never went to see them live. I would have liked to see the band at the top of their game,but this DVD gives you a very good idea of what that must of been like. The band is in top form playing a wide range of their material. The only time I was disappointed is when Stevie Nicks didn't reach for the high notes like on the studio recordings. This may be due to her not being able to do it any more or just wanting to change it up a bit. Either way when you know songs as well as these you want to hear them done the way you remember them. Aside from that one small complaint,the sound is rich and clear and the transfer is very good. The band really conects with each other and you feel like you are part of something special when your watching this. If you like concert DVD's,you should have this in your collection.

Lindsey and Stevie.......2007-06-13

I saw this DVD being played at a Bose outlet store and could not move from the performance being showed. Watching Fleetwood Mac perform "Silver Spring" was a real eye opener! It was as if Stevie and Lindsey were singing only to each other. Wonderful music!

The long-defunct, Southern California band regrouped for an album, an expensive tour (expensive for ticket buyers, that is), and this televised special, which features the Eagles in performance. Laid-back but sharp and even stirring during a longish acoustic set, the guys quickly get past the nostalgia element and sound truly viable. They even make it look easy: the sight of Joe Walsh wearing glasses and sitting in almost perfect repose as he effortlessly colors old hits "Tequila Sunrise" and new material such as "Learn to Be Still" may make you wonder why you ever stashed that guitar in the attic. But the band eventually gets off their stools and rocks out on "Hotel California" and other Eagles standards. All in all, it's an enjoyable and mellowing show. --Tom Keogh

AMAZING!.......2007-08-30

Amazing performance! Acoustic Hotel California blew me away! Why couldn't The Beatles bury the hatchet before Mark David Chapman decide to play God?

Reunion of the century.......2007-08-02

Wow! After 14 years, who would have thought the Eagles would ever get back together?

This landmark event has been presented on a DVD with excellent sound and picture quality and includes interviews and clips of backstage antics. After a "fourteen year vacation", the Eagles prove that they still have what it takes to bring the house down. Their harmonies are still AMAZING and their guitar playing is just about some of the best around.

The only reason I give this 4 stars is because it is mostly a mellow performance from the band. With the exception of "Take It Easy" and "Life In the Fast Lane", the rest of the songs are ballads. Don't get me wong, the Eagles write amazing ballads, it's just that playing almost all of them back to back keeps the overall pace of the show pretty slow. Also, with just a couple of exceptions, most of the songs on this DVD are acoustic versions of some of their greatest hits. Again, I love hearing different arrangements and versions of classic songs, but it keeps the pace of the concert generally slow.

Any Eagles fan (like me) will absolutely LOVE this DVD. I still watch it at least 3 or 4 times a year.

Eagles- Hell freezes over- DVD.......2007-07-29

Yes this is a must have, incredible audio and exellent video coverage,a great concert dvd. I watch this on my computer in it`s DTS format piped through a Klipsch promedia 5.1 surround system, and the acoustics and vocals are amazing, nothing is missed. I think truly some of the best of the best of the Eagles to be seen and heard!

FANTASTIC SOUND AND PICTURE MAKE THIS A MUST HAVE!.......2007-07-08

I am a fan of the Eagles and never saw them live. This DVD looks and sounds great and the band plays and sings like the polished pros that they are. If I have one complaint it is the song selection. These guys have a lot of classic songs and they could have added a few more of the early classics for my taste. Other than that one complaint,this is a great music DVD to have in your collection.

And here's how it all started..........2007-07-03

This DVD has been rented from my local public library many times within my family so I finally decided to just go buy it!

This show is quite something especially when you consider it was made in '94. The Eagles were a solid group before and as Joe Walsh brings out, they still "show they can rock" on this DVD. There are multiple audio selections and the visuals are all very appropriate. The camera angles allow you to see much of the group throughout and you never really miss seeing the solos. That's something I particularly enjoy after seeing a lot of recorded shows where the camera switches to the drummer when the guitar player is noodling, or vica versa.

All around I give this DVD five stars because of how truly clean, entertaining, and even relaxing it is. If I were to relate the quality of this to any other DVD I own it would be to the Diana Krall: Live in Paris DVD.

Love his Vitality.......2007-09-10

I love his presentation, selection, and humour in presenting all genres of music. A joy to watch.

Andre Rieu in Dublin.......2007-08-15

This is a good DVD and the music and songs were very enjoyable. No matter where he and his Orchestra and singers appear feel they enjoy what they do and it is apparent in the music etc.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IRISH. . ........2007-07-03

Every performance of Andre Rieu is a masterpiece. . .after viewing this program, it gives a person that "good all-over feeling!" . . .which lasts for days. . .

THE BEST OF THE BEST.......2007-05-14

I now own seven Andre Rieu DVD's...in his earlier works the orchestra had no backup singers or vocal soloists. In the Dublin program, there was great singing and well as two outstanding vocal solos. Also, the comedic "bull chasing the lady in red" was pure delight. The marvelous bit in all of the DVD's is that the audience is having a grand time listening and participating in the show. Another plus in this program was the superb use of the flute, piccalo and Irish tin whistle. It was just grand. Andre Rieu and his orchestra are scheduled for a concert in Anaheim, CA in December 2007 with ticket sales ranging from $125 to $175 each. By May 1st, the concert is already sold out in an auditorium that seats thousands of people. So many people having so much fun at an all classical music concert is quite remarkable. And that is Andre Rieu.

Andre Rieu, always a pleasure.......2007-05-13

Andre Rieu plays a violin wonderfully, and has a gret power of
comunication. In Dublin he performed some of his best know music,
and this show is easy to see and follow. But, better than this one,
are "Live in Tuscany" (Romantic Paradise) and "Andre Rieu at Schonbrunn,
Vienna", recorded in High Definition. I bought it in Brazil.

If you love concert DVDs that offer first-rate music, excellent sound and picture, a beautiful setting, and substantial bonus features, then Alison Krauss and Union Station Live is destined to become your new favorite. It's not just for bluegrass fans either, as proven by Krauss's crossover success on the smash soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou? as well as her pop-oriented hits such as "Now That I've Found You." That song plus "The Lucky One," "When You Say Nothing at All," and others are the perfect showcase for Krauss's meltingly gorgeous voice, and admirers of the concert's two-CD set will also find out how funny she is in her between-songs banter. AKUS has never been all about Krauss, however, so there are also instrumental jams plus featured spots for other members, including Dan Tyminski on O Brother's rousing "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow."

The second DVD offers 50 minutes of interviews in which all five members plus drummer Larry Atamanuik discuss their influences, their instruments, and their favorite songs. There's also backstage and road footage, baby pictures, and more. Perhaps the only disappointment is that two songs from the CDs are not included in the concert: "Down to the River to Pray," which is heard over the end credits but not shown on stage--presumably because the CD version was not taken from this 2002 Louisville show--and "There Is a Reason." --David Horiuchi

Live Performance Is Excellent on DVD.......2007-07-23

I have seen Alison Krauss and Union Station four times in person, and in between I get my fix watching this DVD. The video is excellent quality and the music includes nearly all of her greatest hits. The quality of the music recording is at least as good as any CD when played through a stereo system. Each of the musicians is top notch and gets a time to shine on this DVD. I especially enjoyed Ron Block's terrific guitar and banjo pickin' and his rendition of "Faraway Land." Alison does a special job with "The Lucky One," Let Me Touch You For Awhile," and "Ghost of A Chance." If you have seen Alsison Krauss in person, you know that she likes to joke with her audiences, and much of that is also included on this DVD. If you enjoy Alison's brand of bluegrass and ballads, you need to own this DVD and Rhonda Vincent's - Ragin' Live!

Fell in love with Alison Krauss and Union Station after seeing this DVD.......2007-07-17

I was not very interested in AKUS until I saw this DVD. Now I find myself humming her songs around the house and at work, and have gone out and bought several additional AKUS CDs.

The video quality is spectacular, and the recording quality makes you feel like you were right there in the theatre in Kentucky. I especially like the wide screen aspect ratio, which looks great on my widescreen TV

The most wonderful thing about the DVD is both seeing and hearing the intricate details in each of the songs. Each member of the group is highly skilled and plays an instrument with unique personality, which when blended together is simply amazing.

AKUS DVD (live).......2007-06-27

I really enjoyed watching this video.
The music is very skillful and delightful to hear. Bluegrass & ballad style. Alison has a laid back and humorous manner, and she has a very clear and beautiful sounding voice.

Alison Has a New Fan.......2007-06-16

I saw this same presentation on HD Net and was floored by this incredible talent. Later I found the concert was on DVD (received a Grammy for best live concert, you will hear why) and got it. I'm not a fan of live concert recordings, but this one was different. It is so good, I use it now as a system demo. There is no center front channel in Dolby 5.1 (Dolby 4.1 really) or DTS (both soundtracks are selectable), but I think this is an advantage. Spatial relationships are maintained between the two front mains and the rears provide the auditorium ambience. Audio and video are spotless.

Alison Kraus and Union Station Live.......2007-02-13

Anyone who is an Alison Kraus and Union Station fan will love this DVD. Recorded in hi-def and 5.1 surround sound,you almost think you are front row at the concert. Alison's band Union Staion are excellent top notch musicians. Alison has the voice of an angel,it doesn't get any better than this one if you are an Alison Kraus fan. I recomend this DVD very highly.
