See Below for review on the BOXCAR 'Aloha' Deluxe book In early 1. Elvis Presley was performing at one of the highest peaks of his career, and 'ALOHA FROM HAWAII VIA SATELLITE' is proof positive of that. The unparalleled media attention and size of the audience, not to mention the worldwide number one album that followed, were perhaps the most effective statement ever engineered of one artist’s worldwide power. Every fan will know the TV broadcast and most will have bought the DVD, most fans will have bought the album several times, a fair number will have also bought the . Dressed in his stunning . And with almost one- quarter of the world’s population watching, the pressure of it being the first worldwide live concert broadcast, sadly there could be nowhere else to go but down. There really were no more challenges left that could properly invigorate Elvis to a greater peak. The only possibility was a world- tour but we all know that wily Colonel Parker was having none of that. But looking back at the time there was more . However the trouble with the concept of the satellite broadcast was that Elvis could not possibly perform in the way he had for the filming of 'TTWII.' or even . There was going to be no time for Elvis to recoup between songs if he turned himself into the usual . This was Elvis . Nowadays these major productions are all performed with breaks and costume changes every 1. George Michael or Beyonce. It would be a very different Elvis show had it been done today with a chance for Elvis to let rip and still look super- cool in front of the cameras. In fact when Elvis asks for a pause, ! For that reason Elvis has to put on a fairly staid performance and almost all his concentration is put into his vocal performance and cool relaxed moves rather than karate demonstrations and action- packed . This is a true reflection of Elvis concerts in general when comparing 1. Aloha set- up and the constraints of the TV cameras could only tie Elvis’ physical performance down even further. In fact it’s rather interesting to note that Elvis’ vocal performance on the rehearsal show is a far more relaxed affair, both in remembering the lyrics and overall performance. Listening to it again it is obvious that Elvis really is treating the first show as a true rehearsal to the main event where he does then pull out the vocal- power and perfection. The new Aloha Legacy version is released in the usual Legacy double- pack with 2. To be honest after the glorious deluxe pack for the . But how I wish the booklet had been bigger size and packed with even more rare photos. A few of the images however, I am sure I have seen in better quality as well. It’s also obvious that most of the main photos are from the rehearsal show (Elvis has a different hair- style and frangipani lei) yet the booklet rather oddly dates them as from the Main January 1. No solo performer other than Elvis Presley could have headlined such an undertaking, and for that matter no entertainment enterprise other than RCA could have pulled it off. Now that might seem a bold claim, but outside of Elvis himself and the managerial smarts of Colonel Parker it was the technical leadership of the . But it was the first of its kind to be transmitted in color and the first to be recorded for release in Quadraphonic Sound. It might be hard to comprehend now, but . The Quadraphonic double- album of the show was released the first weekend in February, and it dominated the charts, reaching #1 on both the pop and country charts in the United States. Due to demand and the possibility of a long shelf life, the albums were eventually released in standard two- track stereo. One of the key factors to the success of the venture was the little- trumpeted fact that Elvis had done the show for charity. There was no admission charge, just voluntary contributions for cancer research in the name of a Hawaiian singer/songwriter named Kui Lee who died in 1. Colman’s article for some reason doesn’t mention the unfortunate Super Bowl timing. And sadly this is the major dissapointment with this new Legacy set. The audio here has some bad compression and added reverb giving it a very muffled sound. There is no shine to the percussion. This time the 1. 99. CD version, remixed by Dennis Ferrante from the multi- track tapes sounds much better with crystal clear percussion and biting guitar and Elvis’ voice much clearer without added reverb. However it is still rather odd as the Vic Anesini 'Madison Square Garden' re- master (another originally rush- released mix) was a great improvement over previous CD versions - which was not the case here. There is no real clarity at all. The audience is faded up and down at times rather oddly and there is no real focus or . In fact this old mix almost sounds like a Vic Anesini new re- mix since the musicians have a great separation, James Burton's guitar sparkles while there is also a real richness to the bass. It is a great STEREO mix and you can hear the whole band. For instance listen to the Sweets/Stamps clear hand- claps during 'Burning Love' that are absent in this new Legacy version. In fact The Sweets & Stamps backing vocals are also beautifully placed and separated in this 1. Elvis' powerful vocal. Here they are again blurrily massed as one. Even worse this Legacy version is the edited version and not the whole concert. Elvis’ introduction of My Way. Charlie Hodge is no longer teased as a . Nor does he even mention the fact that the show is a fund- raiser! It was all edited out of the original 1. Even more annoying there is an audio fade out/in inserted between every end and start of each original LP side, thus removing the flow and excitement of the concert. Why this is needed on a 2. Elvis’ most important 7. And luckily it is worth the effort. The original . The audio now sounds very thin and has odd phase and echo effects over the whole sound image, plus the drums having an oddly flat . The horn section is often too high compared to the rest of the musicians. This new legacy version remixed by Steve Rosenthal & Rob Santos is a delight. Elvis’ vocal is very clean and high in the mix. The overall sound has a richness to it plus a very thick bass sound and this time it really does have . Steve Rosenthal & Rob Santos who engineered this rehearsal remix (they also did the excellent Sam Cooke . Why not? From the extreme quiet of the intro and the tension you can feel in the crowd, there is a marvellous build up to the explosion of . The piano is also placed correctly on the left channel compared to the original release where it was on the right. Songs like . They capture an astounding Elvis performance and on this release he sounds that he is singing far more personally and close rather than echoing around a basketball arena! Here there is a sensational clean sound to the whole mix and Elvis’ vocal is strong and pure. To be honest it almost sounds as if it is a different performance, it is that different. If they could be any complaint it would be that this new mix is a little . HOWEVER the overall sound image really thrills and in any case if you want to feel the distance and crowds of Elvis in the HIC Arena you would of course watch the DVD in surround sound. After the Rehearsal concert we get the five Bonus Songs that Elvis recorded as filler material for the extended NBC American TV production. These have been remastered by Vic Anesini and although they are all previously released they do sound better here. Although since they were recorded at 3. AM after biggest concert of his life, poor old Elvis still sounds as tired as ever, as do the band. Why on earth did Elvis and the musicians agree to this? They still are a nice little bonus and part of the whole Aloha story. This Legacy set however has been getting very positive reviews in the mainstream media which is nice to see - for instance below.. The accompanying double- LP soundtrack was rush- released to stores and took up residence on the Billboard chart for a full year, ultimately going five- times platinum. But it turns out there was much more of Elvis’ powerhouse performances than just the 2. CD release so essential. To begin with, there’s the digitally remastered, “Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite” soundtrack. It’s been the live album of choice for many fans because of its satisfying combination of classics, new hits and covers, including what were some rarely performed songs at the time. Which means the playlist ranges from “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog. Plus other covers as only Elvis could do them: . And finally, there are five must- hear bonus tracks from a closed- door, 3: 0. If Ernst Jorgensen and Roger Semon are here to help sort out the previous mess of Elvis’ musical releases then this seems very wrong to me. Overall Verdict: Unfortunately this new . However this lesser Legacy 4. Anniversary set has been released at an amazingly cheap price - available at only US$1. However for hard- core Elvis collectors the new rehearsal mix by Steve Rosenthal & Rob Santos is ultimately well worth the cost of the whole set. Review by Piers Beagley.
