The Historic 1973 Television Special

Elvis made television and entertainment history with his Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii - Via Satellite concert special. Performed at the Honolulu International Center Arena on January 14, 1973 at 12:30 AM Hawaiian time, it was beamed live via Globecam Satellite to Australia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Phillippines, South Vietnam and other countries, and was seen on a delayed basis in approxiamtely thirty European countries. The first American airing was April 4th on NBC-TV. It was a worldwide ratings smash and the soundtrack album went to number one on the Billboard album chart. The American broadcast attracted 51% of the television viewing audience and was seen in more American households than man's first walk on the moon. In all, it was initially seen in approximately forty countries by 1 to 1.5 billion people. Entertainment events presented live via satellite are common today, but in 1973, this was a first. Never before had one performer held the world's attention in such a way. Possibly no one has since. Aloha from Hawaii presents Elvis Presley at the pinnacle of his superstardom, giving one of the most outstanding concert performances of his career.
