Elvis – The Ultimate Performance
In Elvis – the Ultimate Performance, everything about the show has been finely tuned to recreat the true charisma and electricity of Elvis Presley’s original performances in two landmark appearances.
The ‘68 Comeback Special & Aloha from Hawaii
With the highest production values, the look, and performance standard, it is truly as if Elvis Presley is performing in front of your very eyes!
The ’68 Comeback Special
This was Elvis’ first live performance since 1961. It offered a casual rehearsal atmosphere showing the humorous side to Elvis and his musicians and offered the audience a personal insight to a legend they only knew as a name.
The comeback show known as the stand-up show focuses on Elvis performing in black leather by himself on a lit stage backed by an unseen live band.
Aloha from Hawaii
Aloha was the first ever performance to be broadcast live via satellite. Elvis was dressed in a white American Eagle jumpsuit that is still remembered and associated with Elvis’ image over 30 years later.
Elvis 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’ Goin’ On’ 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 ‘An American Trilogy’ a song that is now, because of this live performance, regarded by many as Elvis Presley’s anthem.
