Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii

Elvis Presley performs a full concert taped at the Honolulu International Center in Hawaii in 1973, broadcast live around the world by satellite, the first program of its kind to be transmitted that way. The camera stays close on Presley through the set, catching the white jumpsuit, the karate stances he works into the choreography, and a band built for arena scale rather than the club circuit he started on. The setlist mixes his own hits with covers, and the crowd shots show an audience reacting to a performer well past his 1950s breakthrough but still commanding a stage built for a global feed rather than a single room. There is no narration or interview material here, just the concert as it was shot and sent out live, which is also the reason to watch it: this is the broadcast that made a single performance visible to more people at once than television had managed before.
