January 10, 2013

Aloha Elvis fans! As we kick off the "Aloha from Hawaii" 40th Anniversary Celebration in Hawaii, we look back at Elvis' legendary performance viewed by over 1.5 billion people worldwide. The original broadcast of “Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite” started at 12:30 a.m. in Hawaii on Sunday morning, January 14, 1973. Clearly at the top of his game, Elvis delivered a 24-song show that pulled songs from every phase of his career. When “Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite” was aired in the U.S. on April 4th, the Nielsen ratings had the show in 33.8% of homes and reaching 51% of those watching television. The double-LP immediately vaulted up the charts, taking the #1 spot in Billboard’s May 1973 issue. It stayed on the chart for 52 weeks, and was certified 5X Platinum by the RIAA. Elvis fans from around the world have traveled to Hawaii to kick off the celebration which includes an enhanced movie screening of “Aloha from Hawaii” held 40 years later in the same venue as the original concert. In honor of the 40th anniversary, we've added five photos of Elvis during the legendary concert and trip to Hawaii Elvis Mobile 2.0 iPhone app,  Elvis Mobile 2.0 Android app, and Elvis for iPad app.

The enhanced screening will take place at the Neal Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Monday, January 14, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are $35. Elvis fans can now purchase tickets to the once-in-a-lifetime "Aloha from Hawaii" 40th Anniversary Screening by visiting Ticketmaster.com or at any Ticketmaster location.
