An enormous success, the show was the highest-rated television special of the year and was considered a land-mark in Elvis Presley’s career and the height of rock ‘n’ roll performance

 Aloha from Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii was broadcast on January 14, 1973. It was the first ever performance to be broadcast live via satellite and was shown in over 40 countries across Asia and Europe. Elvis was dressed in a white “American Eagle” jumpsuit which is still remembered and associated with Elvis’ image over 30 years later.
Elvis performed a vast array of hits and showed his vocal range and strength by performing a collection of songs that spanned his entire career, from his early rock ‘n’ roll numbers such as “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Long Tall Sally”, “Whole Lotta Shakin’” and “Hound Dog” to ballads such as “Something”, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, “It’s Over”, “Welcome to my World”, “I’ll Remember You” and “What Now My Love”.

The climax of the show was Elvis performance of the “An American Trilogy” which is now, because of this live performance, is regarded by many as Elvis Presley’s anthem. It is estimated that the show had over 1 billion viewers worldwide.
