Notes: To date this is the only bootleg release featuring the complete Aloha press conference !

Tracks 23 - 27 are all 5 songs recorded after the broadcast with minimal backing instrumentation. These songs were used in the broadcast for cutaway shots of Elvis and the island of Hawaii. Not until the "Mahalo From Elvis" RCA Special Products release were these 5 songs officially released many years after the broadcast. Elvis sounds very somber while singing these songs.

This CD was most likely taped from a pay per view showing of the complete uncut rehearsal show broadcast on American television.

There are a couple of sound quality glitches in some songs , but otherwise this is a very clean soundboard concert that lacks some "punchiness".

Concert: The fan of the official TV broadcast will also like this rehearsal show.
