Thank you for posting on UA-cam. Though Elvis was excited, and nervous, about doing this concert beamed all over the world via satellite he was under extreme duress about his weight (and the producer/director told Elvis he had to lost at least 25 pounds which Elvis did) and that his marriage to Priscilla had deteriorated since (approximately) November of 1971. Worth noting is that in this interview he is asked a question about "Elvis having any thoughts out his marriage future" and you can hear, in his response, the pause - the sadness - and the first thing he verbalizes (to that question) is about Lisa Marie. Having been an Elvis Presley fan for six decades I remember watching this special live and it was an amazing treat and his voice sounded great. At the time I never guessed that Elvis would die (approximately) five years after this interview. As Elvis often did the proceeds of the concert went to the Kui Lee cancer foundation and the amount raised greatly exceed the monetary goals. Elvis, as he always had, rose up to any/all professional challenges as he did for the Aloha from Hawaii concert. It wasn't publicized the one million dollar guarantee for every show Elvis would do in Egypt with the backdrop of the pyramids. Elvis was also offered a million dollars per show in Japan and a few other countries. NOT million dollars per week or month but PER SHOW. Elvis had expressed his desire to travel around the world and perform and even updated his life insurance polices to include traveling to England, France, Germany, Japan, Egypt, and other places. I have a copy of the insurance policy binders, addendums, etc., over a period of (approximately) twenty years of his life to validate this fact. It was one of Colonel Parker's great failures to Elvis to have kept the fact that the SOLE reason Colonel Parker talked Elvis out of playing overseas was not the "security and sound problem issues" but that Colonel Parker was an illegal alien and believed that this may be uncovered and Colonel Parker would face, among other charges, legal deportation. Take care and may God bless you. Jeff Schrembs www.ElvisCollector.info
I believe that the Aloha Concert had originally been scheduled for November 1972 but there was some issue with a huge sports event at the same time so it was moved to Jan 14th 1973.
I can barely understand any of this. Obviously, this was a huge event, too bad the sound was not of higher quality; not to mention that it wasn't filmed. What was Parker thinking?
The never. a Col., never a Tom, never a Parker, always thinking of himself.💰💲💲💲💲he kept everything hidden from ELVIS. He always had tight reins on ELVIS, for 22 years, his life was never his own. 6-20-22
Veo muchos comentarios erróneos sobre si Elvis estaba drogado o no y no es correcto históricamente hablando ni respetuoso para su memoria. Elvis se encontraba cansado ya que acababa de terminar una gira de conciertos que comenzó el 8 de noviembre y terminó en Hawaii el día 18 . Esta rueda de prensa que se llevó a cabo dos días más tarde, nos muestra a un Elvis cansado, algo triste y bronceado, pero no drogado como dicen algunos. Elvis estaba nervioso e inquieto por este evento y aparte tenía que lidiar con sus preocupaciones como cualquier ser humano.
Elvis was a drug addict at the end of his life but during his time getting easy for aloha he was drug free. It’s been documented. So you really don’t know what you are talking about
WOW - in all my years as a fan I'd only heard the snippet that was filmed - the minute he talks about no messages no this and that - prickles upload
Thank you so very much for posting all of these fantastic interviews.
Even dead, he makes more money that 99% of the living people.
There HAS to be a complete visual recording of this, somewhere!
WTF??
that'd be nice but in 50 years it's not surfaced...
We want ELVIS
We want ELVIS.
This is great thanks so much for posting😀
Love Elvis Sooooooooooooooo Veeeeeeeeeeeeery Much.........
The sound quality is actually a pretty good reflection of elvis’s state of mind

I recently heard Kathy Westmorland say in an interview that Elvis suffered from bone cancer. True?
@@overcamehim Charlie Hodge told that and also Dee Stanley,Vernons second wife said it too
Jeff Schrembs I heard he didn’t want to travel over seas because they didn’t have the in door arenas at the time Elvis hated playing out door arenas !
Priceless upload even - damn typo - thanks so much for these interviews TCB
Great upload but he sounds really sad and flat here. Under a lot of pressure and tired
I believe that the Aloha Concert had originally been scheduled for November 1972 but there was some issue with a huge sports event at the same time so it was moved to Jan 14th 1973.
It was moved cause Elvis On Tour premiere was scheduled for November.
A great interview
I wonder who has the complete film of this......
Great upload
Amazing ❤
Thanks for posting!

Right? A lot of historical events in Elvis career that he didn't documented properly. Such a shame.
Yeah, it's awful. Also, pretty sure he was REALLY high here so at the same time I'm kind of glad I haven't seen it.
The never. a Col., never a Tom, never a Parker, always thinking of himself.💰💲💲💲💲he kept everything hidden from
ELVIS. He always had tight reins on ELVIS,
for 22 years, his life was never his own.

I don't understand almost anything.
There was another interview where he wore a white suit where he was promoting the Aloha show , it’s a pity this interview was not videotaped in full !
had a proper sound recording ? where is the sound recording? Thanks.
That one with white suit was recorded in Vegas.
@@shawndowning4073oh is that right , thanks

@10:50 - shaking hands with William Shatner.
Michael Mercier not Shatner
He's pretty baked during this interview.
Brown Mut He’s very tired. The man was on a 500 calorie a day diet at that time.
Brown Mut going through his divorce with Pricilla at the time lee to Elvis self destructing IMO

He was high asf.
