Elvis never failed to put his fans first, he always took special time for them and it was deeply sincere, That’s something I have yet to ever see with any other famous person!
This concert was the most expensive concert of that time costing 2.5 million dollars!
Man was it worth it! I remember being gathered around the T.V. with my family watching this. Very exciting t see, excellent moment in history!
Below is some actual footage of the concert, It’s still hard for me to grasp that there are some new fans out there that haven’t seen this concert yet. They have no idea what they are missing!

” Elvis Statue Unveiled July 26th, 2007″
t was in honor of Presley’s 30th anniversary of his passing and to commemorate the King’s record-breaking “Aloha from Hawaii” concert on January 14, 1973.
The statue is incredibly detailed, from the gems on Elvis’ American Eagle suit, right down to the the diamond ring he wore on his finger on that incredible night.
I thought I knew what to eecxpt, the opening act was a comedian which at 13 I really didn’t understand the humor but when the lights went out and 2001 space odyssey started playing, wow. I agree with Ron he was heavy but not having seen the early concerts let me tell you it was awesome. I have seen a lot of great concerts in my lifetime, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, The Boss, Doobie Brothers and Rush to name a few but that concert to this day is still my number one. The surge from the audience actually moved our seats and rows forward; women were crying, screaming and generally going nuts. I don’t believe I have ever witness someone have that much control and stage presence over people, I made my way into the isles during the concert where I witnessed women fighting to get closer to the stage. So lady who I didn’t know grab my because she thought I was going to get crushed and got me to within about 20 feet of the stage so I could get a closer look. What a night, needless to say my mom got a scarf and I my brother and I got to watch a legendary performance that still sticks in my mind.
