Aloha viewing figures - for malc07 and others

[Getlo]

I took this off the other thread as we were off topic ...


Amazon.co.uk: Elvis Presley - Aloha From Hawaii (Deluxe Edition ...Aloha From Hawaii was broadcast Via Satellite to 1.5 billion people worldwide.
Moon landing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 07:35An estimated 500 million people worldwide watched this event live
Think this proves that Getlo is WRONG........
more watched Aloha from Hawaii.than moon walk....

(sigh)

Must we go through this again?

1. You're using Amazon and the deluxe DVD as your source? They are regurgitating the same myth.
2. Wikipedia ... this webite has little credibility, and can be edited by anyone. Let me guess: you typed in "aloha from hawaii, total viewers" into the site, or into Google, right? ;)

Now, follow me here ...

The original telecast of Aloha was not watched by 1.5 billion people. Not even close to that figure.

It went out live to Hawaii and Asia, and two cities only here in Australia. And a few other countries.

It was beamed to Europe one day later, so viewers there cannot be included in the original total of viewers who saw it live.

The total amount of viewers who watched Aloha only ... and I repeat only ... comes near 1.5 billion when you add the viewers who watched in Europe one day later, and those in the US who saw it the following April.

I cannot say this any clearer.

More people watched the moon landing live in 1969 than Aloha live in 1973.

The moon landing was a one-off live event, with no significant edited versions months later, or a repeat one day later.

More people ... eventually ... watched Aloha than the moon landing - it just took a while. But that was not the case on January 14, 1973. Talk like this only serves to keep the myth going. It would be a lovely thing for Elvis to be remembered by, but it simply is not true.

I can't speak for other countries, but the Australian viewing total for Aloha has been exaggerated over the years as well. Something like 60% of TVs here were tuned into the telecast. Now, as I said, only two cities (Sydney and Melbourne) took the show live, the other cities dipped out. So it wasn't 60% of Aussie viewers tuning in at all ... only 60% of TVs in those two cities. Perhaps other countries' totals have been exaggerated over the years as well; I don't know.

(Oh, and by way of trivia ... it is also a myth that you can see the Great Wall of China from space. I'd be happy to give you the origins of that myth as well if you like ...)

[rocknroll]

Getlo is correct. The only people who originally claimed this were the record company and Elvis' circle. It is from there the myth grew and anytime this is mentioned, the myth is fallen back on.

Total viewers, maybe 1.5 billion, but this was not the number who actually saw the show live, not even close. I think the live numbers are probably closer to 100 million. The next day the rest of the world tuned in (not live) and then 3 months later the U.S. finally got in the game.

[Getlo]

Yes.

Another myth is that Aloha was the first musical performance beamed live around the world via satellite.

It was not.

It was the first concert (by a single artist) to be taken via satellite around the world.

The first satellite musical performance was The Beatles' All You Need Is Love in 1967. I'm sure you all know it.

[rocknroll]

I would hope, and think, that most discerning people know the Beatles had the first satelite performance.

[rocknroll]

Yes.

Another myth is that Aloha was the first musical performance beamed live around the world via satellite.

It was not.

It was the first concert (by a single artist) to be taken via satellite around the world.

The first satellite musical performance was The Beatles' All You Need Is Love in 1967. I'm sure you all know it.

The album was, however, the first quadraphonic release to hit number one. Not sure how great that is, but it is something......right?:lmfao:

[Getlo]

I would hope, and think, that most discerning people know the Beatles had the first satelite performance.

You'd think, yeah.

I only realised a few years back that Mick Jagger is in that as well (on tambourine as I recall), along with a few other notables ...

[Getlo]

The album was, however, the first quadraphonic release to hit number one. Not sure how great that is, but it is something......right?:lmfao:

Maybe.

When did the quad version come out? Are the quad sales included in the number one sales?

Brain freeze ... we can never find this one out I'm afraid ...

yes Im afraid we must.you have quoted facts and figures as you say.but ...and pardon me for asking.where have you got your info from...I am just an ordinary ELVIS fan,who has only got the internet and books to go by.and not personal experiances...
I really dont see why you have to be so brash.and talk down to people...if you know and can prove a fact,be it on this or any other topic,then thats good.but to rile people into arguments is not the right thing to do..I dont claim to know everything and everything..and thought this was supposed to be a friendly place to learn and make friends.
and if I mam wrong about anything that I post,and are corrected,well then I have learnt something.Nobody knows EVERYTHING...
I respect your views and opinions just as I do anybodys,but to be sarcastic.IMO is down right rude.We are not in a bar,discussing topics,we are in a FORUM,a Friendly FORUM..

[Getlo]

I really dont see why you have to be so brash.

I am brash because I don't like comments like this, without provocation.


Think this proves that Getlo is WRONG........

There were more polite ways to say this.

As for my "figures" re Aloha ... I did not mention any, apart from the mythical total of 1.5 billion (and the percentage of Australian TV viewership).

The information about Aloha and which countries watched it and when is readily available. The internet is a wonderful thing, but there is more there than Wikipedia and the like. Keep looking.

And further info: the show was beamed to South-East Asia (not "Asia" as I'd written). I should have been more specific.

And it was seen in 28 European countries ... one day later.


Nobody knows EVERYTHING...


No, they do not. And I do not for one minute believe that I do, either, and have never suggested that.

:lol: :lol: You learn something new every day. I didn't know that most of the 40 countries saw Aloha one day later. I thought everyone but the US saw it at the same time:D:D

[toffe]

Thanks for info Getlo, alot new information here!! :D
I have allways thought that Elvis performed live telecast first, but Beatles in 67`.

If you were more friendly ..there wouldnt be comments like this...
I was aware that the show was shown a day later in places,and in my orrigional post I never said anything like "ON THE DAY".i mearly stated.more people watched aLOHA than the moon walk....

[Getlo]

I never said anything like "ON THE DAY".i mearly stated.more people watched aLOHA than the moon walk....

But that's misleading.

By that rationale, more people watched Clambake than the moon landing.

They just didn't do it on the one day.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Getlo to show any respect for his fellow posters, or to Elvis' memory for that matter, nor are his facts and figures always correct.

I criticise your respect for "Elvis'" memory. You are a sore spot on that memory because you show no respect for the fans. In your haste to be above everyone else, you show no human decency. And your idle threats? "Elvis" doesn't like your kind of attitude, the know-it all. Ask Joe E., he'll tell you. And I guess you forgot how "Elvis" felt about anyone attacking his fans and not just physically. Ask Red, Sonny and Marty. Or just the fact that "Elvis" didn't like uppity people. If you couldn't be a down to earth person you were on the bad side. Sometimes tolerated, sometimes not. And you never said anything about the family. You aren't a fan, you are a user, someone who tries to gain fame from someone else's success. And certainly no friend of "Elvis'".

You still here? :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

[Brian Quinn]

For the record. Elvis still holds the record for the largest TV audience for a concert performance by a single performer with 'Aloha From Hawaii'. The Guinness Book Of World records have stated to me that they are willing to accept that providing I can produce evidence of ratings and viewer figures. Unfortunately, this is now virtually impossible and even EPE have stated they cannot help in this regard. Sadly, only anecdotal evidence now exists. Should anyone on this message board wish to research the matter further then if you are successful Elvis could have another World Record.

[malc07]

Thanks Joe and Knox.
I really didnt want this to get personal...
perhaps the only reason Getlo hasnt been prooven wrong is that others cant be bothered with him.and in anycase he wouldnt admit being wrong.
But this isnt anylonger about if he is wrong or right..its about his total disrespect for others...I try to be nice,and get a great deal of pleasure in talking nicely to my friends on here,and find thats the correct way to be..I have many friends,Those who would help me...if needed.and have many nice comments from my friends.BUT I WILL NOT be bullied into backing down to anyone....judt because they come across as threatening.or LOUD MOUTHED..
I too can pass insults and come across as a nasty person who seems to have a chip on his shoulder.but would prefer to be me..who appreciates that I dont know everything,and is a friendly person to talk to....

Never criticize an Elvis fan for their faithfulness of him....we are all here because of our love for Elvis....just because we question certain things does not make us love him less. I find some on here live in a dream world when it comes to Elvis....this thread is about the ficticious numbers on Aloha...that's all.....nothing to get riled up about......(how long before you delete this post now that I'm quoting you from? why are you doing that? you can't back up what you are saying if you keep disappearing and deleting your posts)

[ksimms2]

I guess that I just don't let Getlo bother me.....Malc you are a nice person and we love you....I'm sorry you guys are disagreeing......I respect Getlo's opinions and he seems to know what he's talking about....so I normally don't question it.....I leave that up to others......

[KPM]

There are some distinctions between the Beatles part in a "6 hour satellite show" and Elvis's first ever "complete concert on satellite"
Twenty-four days after the release of Sgt. Pepper, the Beatles represented England on the six-hour TV show Our World, a satellite broadcast seen by 400 million. "All You Need Is Love" was the simple message they wanted to send to the world. "It was for love and bloody peace," Ringo Starr said. The backing choir on the single included Mick Jagger, Keith Moon and Donovan.Performers in nineteen nations were invited to perform in separate segments featuring their respective countries, and the event had the largest television audience ever up to that date: an estimated 400 million people around the globe watched the broadcast.[1]
So although the Beatles did a song as part of a show which had many many contributers-Elvis did the first complete concert by any artist via satellite.

[cameron]

Some things ,some people say about Elvis makes others wonder.
It's one thing to point out what's been written about him; it's another to dwell on only one facet of the man .It's not like any of us were there.

[rocknroll]

Aloha, in it's first run, was seen by a lot of people (1.5 billion seems to be the most popular number) just not live as it happened.

Let's just leave it at that.

[poormansgold]

I know that things get miss read or etc. I'm one prson will say that I'm wrong on things

Here i found out on The Show

It's long too

Press conference, September 4, 1972

In the morning, there was a press conference at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel to announce the upcoming worldwide telecast of an Elvis concert in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

The announcement was made by the president of RCA Records, Mr. Rocco Laginestra.
Elvis was also present and told the press he hoped he wouldn't let his fans down.

Mr. Laginestra told the press the upcoming tv-program would reach the largest audience in the history of television.

The concert would be broadcast to Southeast Asia via satellite.
In Europe the concert would be seen in 28 countries, the day after the concert.
The U.S.A. (mainland) would not see the program before April 1973.


Press conference, November 20, 1972

Elvis attends a press conference in the Rainbow Rib Room of the Hilton's Hawaiian Village Hotel.
There he announced the concert would take place on January 14, 1973.
It would be a benefit for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.

Elvis and the Colonel would start the benefit by donating a check for $ 1,000 to the Kui Lee Cancer Fund.
RCA joined Elvis & the Colonel by also donating a check for the same amount.

Elvis' arrival in Hawaii, January 9, 1973

After leaving Memphis for a flight to Los Angeles on January 7,
Elvis arrives on the Honolulu Airport on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, where he is airlifted by helicopter to the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel to greet his Hawaiian fans.

Elvis in concert
January 12 & 14, 1973

On January 7, tickets for the concert of January 14 went on sale in Honolulu.
Already a large amount of tickets were sold in advance by mail orders. Tickets could only be obtained by making a donation to the
Kui Lee Cancer Fund.

Tickets for the dress rehearsal of January 12 would be sold as soon as the main show had sold out.

Honolulu, January 12, 1973

Elvis performed for an audience of 6,000 people at the International Convention Center, the show was taped as an emergency backup in case of problems with the show of January 14.

Honolulu, January 13, 1973
Some last minute soundchecks are done in the concert hall of the International Convention Center for tomorrow nights concert. Elvis attends the soundcheck in casual clothes while the musicians practice their (music)parts.

Honolulu, January 14, 1973

At 12.30 am Elvis wrote history with the first world-wide telecasted concert ever. Millions of people in over 40 countries saw Elvis' live concert from Hawaii.

The total earnings of the concert, being
$ 75,000 were donated to the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. The original estimate had only been $ 25,000



The telecast, Aloha from Hawaii, would be watched by more than 1 billion people, worldwide.

The show was the most expensive entertainment special, up to that time, with costs of $ 2,5 million.

Following the show, as soon as the audience had left the building, Elvis recorded 5 songs on stage, to be included in the American version of the special. The special would be aired in the U.S.A. on April 4, 1973.

This From site http://www.elvisinhawaii.com/frame.html

[KPM]

I think good question in regard to this would be:
"If the show could have been shown to all on the night it occured how many would have watched it" I know I would have stayed up late or (got up early) to watch it-how many others would have?
Would Elvis have got the billion total if it was only shown on the night it happened?

[poormansgold]

We have think about The Time Zones around the earth few are 6 or 7 hrs head of USA and Few hours behind USA, it's impossble to do it complete live show

I agree with Malc07, Knoxelvis :hug:, Cameron, Joe Car and Me! (y) hehe (:lmfao:).

Please, this is a place for people to be nice to each other, this is in the Rules, which we all agreed to. We all know Elvis would hate people picking on others.

I agree with what was said, this is a public forum, not a school, (or a pub) whereas people have to be "one up" on others. Unnecessary.

If people don't say anything, for what is right or wrong, well, how can we be good roll models for our children? For heavens sake, book quoting? I can read a book and quote at infinitum, if something interests me, I can retain it, so what? A lot of people can.


***People, their feelings, is what is important.***
Not quoting books.

I agree with what was said, this is a public forum, not a school, (or a pub) whereas people have to be "one up" on others. Unnecessary.

If people don't say anything, for what is right or wrong, well, how can we be good roll models for our children? For heavens sake, book quoting? I can read a book and quote at infinitum, if something interests me, I can retain it, so what? A lot of people can.


***People, their feelings, is what is important.***
Not quoting books.

As a wise man said to me, you "need to be true to yourself", good on you. (y)

Thanks Kimmi.
Believe me I only want to have nice pleasant discussions and to learn new things each day,and to make and chat with my friends.those who know me well, know that I am a nice person,and have a good sense of humour and always appoligise if I am wrong..or say something out of place.after all we are only human..Thankyou
That was very well said,

[franny]

Please quit attacking Getlo. He has more facts than alot of us, and his only crime is asking for proof of sources if we differ from his....so what.....???? Never criticize an Elvis fan for their faithfulness of him....we are all here because of our love for Elvis....just because we question certain things does not make us love him less. I find some on here live in a dream world when it comes to Elvis....this thread is about the ficticious numbers on Aloha...that's all.....nothing to get riled up about......(how long before you delete this post now that I'm quoting you from? why are you doing that? you can't back up what you are saying if you keep disappearing and deleting your posts)

I agree with you too, Kelly! I also think some things can be pm'ed to each other, if one wants to discuss there posts, otherwise, we all have a right to our opinions!

Thanks, nice to meet you, Malc07. I feel the same. We should be having nice pleasant discussions, not dividing people, but coming together, in a common interest.

It is a matter of not talking down to people, as said.

Take care,

:hug:

[Unchained Melody]

Yes.

Another myth is that Aloha was the first musical performance beamed live around the world via satellite.

It was not.

It was the first concert (by a single artist) to be taken via satellite around the world.

The first satellite musical performance was The Beatles' All You Need Is Love in 1967. I'm sure you all know it.

Interesting stuff Getlo, I was not aware of this.:blink:

only because it says so under his name if you look at a previous post.

no, I only saw that it said banned under his name......he was sort of getting nasty though - maybe that's why? I don't really know..?

nobody is destroying this site Cameron. Some just get into heated discussions now and then....one smart comment leads to another and so on. I in no way think this site is destroyed - I enjoy this site very much and everything that everyone has to say.

I don't let Getlo get to me like you guys do - he's not the only one who expresses their opinions so strongly, all of us do at some point or another. Depends on how strongly we feel about the subject matter.

Everyone is not used to the strong opinions of others. It would be nice if all could temper their opinions and think of how it comes across to others.
I learned to ignore some of them too. But, being honest...why should anyone have to put up with someone doing that? If everyone follows the site rules and are considerate of others; it just shouldn't happen. IMO.

[malc07]

I agree totally with you Cameron !!!

[Diane]

One of our very good level headed posters left because of the harsh posts and nobody listening but I noticed he's back now and he said something a while back we should all take notice of....it's not only the put downs that some posters do but we should watch our TONES as well because that can be offensive too.

The more I read these posts the more I feel a lot haven't matured or advanced beyond the teen years....and quite a few of them on this site put us to shame.

Yes, and I was glad to see his return. Let's hope he stays and gives us his level headed opinions.
He was missed by many.

[Getlo]

I really didnt want this to get personal...
perhaps the only reason Getlo hasnt been prooven wrong is that others cant be bothered with him.and in anycase he wouldnt admit being wrong.


Well, as long as you're not going to get personal about it, Malc! ;) And please do not make assumptions about me: I would be the first to admit I am wrong about one of my posts. And if others "can't be bothered" with me, that's their prerogative. If people want to try and "prove me wrong", I say go ahead. That way, if I am proven wrong, then I'll have learned something, and so will everyone else.

Contrary to "popular" opinion, I don't post on here with stuff simply to disgaree with people. However, if someone posts erroneous information, I see no reason to ignore it and let more misinformation fester. Facts are the preferred alternative to myths and outright speculation. And corrected facts are even better. So please, if ever you feel I'm wrong about anything on here ... post what you see as the correct info, so we can all learn from it.



I respect Getlo's opinions and he seems to know what he's talking about....so I normally don't question it.....I leave that up to others......

I appreciate that Kelly, but I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't apply the same standards to myself as I apply to others, on here and in the real world. Feel free to question, debate and query me, as I will continue to do with others if they either post erroneous information, or something I've never heard of before.


Hopefully, Knoxelvis will stay now. I've asked them to. This place can get kinda rough on some people. But, Knoxelvis made a few good points,, IMO.

Another subtle dig. Good points calling me a "sore" and "not a fan", right? I prefer directness, cameron, not stuff like this.


i want to know where getlow getting his stuff from “At 12.30 am Elvis wrote history with the first world-wide telecasted concert ever. Millions of people in over 40 countries saw Elvis' live concert from Hawaii.”

The information is there, Tom, you just need to look deeper than sites like elvisinhawaii.com. Yes, millions watched Aloha, but not 1.5 billion when it was aired live. The quote from Rocco Laginestra about the audience numbers referred to a concert viewing audience, not an audience for a general live event, eg the moon landing.


I think good question in regard to this would be:
"If the show could have been shown to all on the night it occured how many would have watched it" Would Elvis have got the billion total if it was only shown on the night it happened?

Absolutely; I have no doubt about that at all.


Elvis would definitly not like all the negativity brought by some, IMO. What a shame to destroy a site that's meant to honor Elvis.

Check the thread again. I did not start this; two others did with their personal attacks.

Thank you to the eleven ... that's right ... eleven people who PMed me expressing dismay at Knoxelvis' comments and offering their support. (y) Knoxelvis has been banned, so what does that tell you?

Anyway, back to the topic about the Aloha viewership ...

Then there are all the people who publicly say, "please tone it down".

Quite a few people, over a period of time, from my recollection; including Jumpsuit Junkie from the other day, or he was referring to someone else?

:hmm:

[poormansgold]

getlow I'm Checking Into it more right now, This part that I found that was printing at that time in 1972 and 1973.
liked I say With the time zones, it's impossbile have complete live show, it's still amazing show all times and it's the last stand for one greatest performers alltimes, it's still first concerts was show all over the earth, of it's was slow 60% live , USA was last too See it.
I'm not put no one down or see whom is right or wrong, I think that it's was one greatest think happened in my life time and anothers was live that time.
The Man (Elvis) was special person was here to perform to us and love us and where we was he needed help.
I know I was growing as teen , an the teen faling down a hole he don't know how get out it, thinks to Elvis, that teen get that hole and turn that teen to know about that Elvis and that guy was teen still listerning more about Elvis after 30 years .
You think I was trying personal Attack at you no I was.
I been there 7 years ago one chat rooms on Yahoo so .
There more to this Aloha Shows I will check into more ito
Tom

[Getlo]

You think I was trying personal Attack at you no I was.

Tom, I was not referring to you as being one of the two who launched an attack on me. Apologies if you assumed that to be the case. If you go back through the thread, it was Knoxelvis and one other.

As for Aloha, it was not impossible to have it live through Europe or anywhere because of the time zones. Look at Live Aid or other such shows. They go live around the world, and timezones don't matter at all.

Please don't misundertand me, (you or anyone else) but the fact that nowhere near 1.5 billion watched it live (live being the key word in this debate) in no way detracts from the show, nor the fact that I think it was the pinnacle of Elvis' career. It was a magnificent triumph all round. It's just that I hate to see the myth of the 1.5 billion viewers perpetuated when it's not true, that's all.

[malc07]

Getlo.I was not saying that your info was incorrect.I was stating that the way you come across bothered me...It is all very well and good knowing facts and I am the first to admire anyone who can find out the truth or as near to the truth as possible..but the way that you come down and put snide comments like..."sigh must we go through this again" really upsets people.
I seek my info on the best sources i have at hand,and if these are wrong ,then of course I would like to be corrected.but corrected in a friendly manner,and would be appreciative to that fact.
so I was suggesting advising people rather than barking at them.
see my point?:clap:(y)

I agree. It's not the info being wrong; it's the way one comes across to others. In a confrontational manner.
The info gets lost in all the arguing IMO.

I don't know the numbers of who watched the Aloha Concert and now, it doesn't even matter to me. The info has been lost with the confrontation. :blink:I'll leave this topic to ones that still care .

Thanks Cameron again .In all the heated posts and reposts the orrigional discussion gets forgotten about,and nobody wants that..:clap:
Aloha is IMO a fab concert COL DRIES.it has always been my favorite.
and I like the landmarks it conquered.
ELVIS at his best ..but this is only my opinion.(y):king:

[poormansgold]

I running cross same info on Aloha concert, the word is it's still watch by billion people all over the world if it not live or prerecording live, what you call it.
WE know that The Facts are true or not that we have go with. it's been 35 years, so I'm off by one year that's made me be wrong no.
liked Me I been working on the concert listing before web site call Elvis In Concert, I help them alot few years ago with things, I trade most my tapes for good copys of CDs
and I still try help them, I was wrong with few listings, that I can say that, likes Few people I knew .
What I come up with is no one wasn't wrong or right on this one.
We needed To stop this picking and @$#@ thing It will kill this Site down fast.
Tom

[Getlo]

I running cross same info on Aloha concert, the word is it's still watch by billion people all over the world if it not live or prerecording live, what you call it.

Tom, the whole point of this is that "More people watched Aloha than the moon landing" or "1.5 billion people watched Aloha" are both completely misleading statements. They need to be clarified. Without clarification of the European and, later, the USA fugures, this myth becomes "truth". And it isn't.


What I come up with is no one wasn't wrong or right on this one.

Well, when some people say 1.5 billion watched it and some say that figure is incorrect, then they can't all be right (or wrong), now can they?

[poormansgold]

You know that 1968 special was watch in UK on 12/31/68 and following night on 1/1/69 second time and third time next christmas season of 1969 not liked USA on 12/3/68 only once, I know of. the first time I see the special was in 1985 on tv on local channel wasn't on NBC channel or own by NBC

I quote from the booklet from the "aloha" dvd set ;

"it was seen in about forty countries by 1 to 1.5. billion people !

The big deal, Col, is that EPE - like a lot of other Elvis outlets - perpetuates this myth.

What they should have said was ... no, it's been discussed in other threads on this post. I can't be bothered this time.

[Miss Clawdy]

Col Dries I think the answer was in the very first post...



....The total amount of viewers who watched Aloha only ... and I repeat only ... comes near 1.5 billion when you add the viewers who watched in Europe one day later, and those in the US who saw it the following April.

I cannot say this any clearer.

.....if I got it right :blink:

at the moment its just your word..at least I have shown some evidence to back up my statement.
albeit Misleading evidence as you call it..please send me the link to back up your claim ..

[jak]

Everything Getlo has stated is correct.The telecast was not seen "live" by that many people as most believe.That would not be possible due to different time zones etc.Many saw it much later at subsequent airings.The total viewership was a great success but the spin put on it is misleading.
Jak

[Getlo]

You have still not stated where you got your info from Getlo.!!!

For a start:

The Lowell Sun, August 17, 2006
Capturing The King
By Jennifer Amy Myers
That night, Jan. 14, 1973, Presley performed one of his most famous shows, the historic "Aloha From Hawaii" concert. It was the first worldwide telecast live performance, beamed by satellite to Australia and Southeast Asia, shown on delay in 30 European countries and by tape on American television three months later. The show was eventually seen by more than 1.5 billion people in 40 countries.

Elvis Presley
By Bobbie Ann Mason
Still, the weight of it affected his performance: his behavior was self-conscious, self-deprecating. Every person who achieves any degree of fame experiences some disorientation, but for Elvis it was unique. In the history of the world, few individuals have had such great success and fame so suddenly, with such far-reaching consequence and with so little preparation for dealing with it. This is a startling thought. How did he bear the burden?
In wondering whether anyone else has ever experienced this sort of sudden global recognition, I can think only of the astronauts walking on the moon. Over two billion people saw the first moon landing. Nearly as many-one and a half billion-saw Elvis in the first satellite-beamed TV show, Aloha from Hawaii, in 1973.

And, if memory serves, Guralnick's Careless Love (?), but I'll have to check when I get to my copy.

There are other sources if you look carefully.

The whole point to my argument is that the word "eventually" is always left out of the moon landing references when it comes to Aloha. And the comment is therefore rendered useless because, as I said, more people watched Clambake than the moon landing ... eventually.

Nowhere near 1.5 billion watched it live. It was delayed in Europe.

[Getlo]

The total viewership was a great success but the spin put on it is misleading.

That's all I'm sayin' here!!! (y)

Aloha From Hawaii - 1973

Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii - Via Satellite
Elvis made television and entertainment history with his "Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii - Via Satellite" concert special.

Performed at the Honolulu International Center Arena on January 14, 1973 at 12:30 AM Hawaiian time, it was beamed live via Globecam Satellite to Australia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, South Vietnam and other countries, and was seen on a delayed basis in approximately thirty European countries.

The first American airing was April 4, 1973 on NBC-TV. It was a worldwide ratings smash and the soundtrack album went to number one on the "Billboard" album chart.

The American broadcast attracted 51% of the television viewing audience and was seen in more American households than man's first walk on the moon. In all, it was initially seen in approximately forty countries by 1-to-1.5 billion people.

[Latte]

To me it doesnt matter, more people saw it.
I really dont care what day it was

[Sonny]

Thanks Getlo, that solves that then...

However, the Europe version had no commercials and had the original dialogue in it that first time it screened. The small dialogue by Elvis that was cut from the later versions.


Sonny

[Getlo]

it was beamed live via Globecam Satellite to Australia.

As I said previously, only Sydney and Melbourne recieved it. The rest of Australia missed out, until it was shown in 1978 as part of the Memories of Elvis special with Ann-Margret.

[Getlo]

Thanks Getlo, that solves that then...
However, the Europe version had no commercials and had the original dialogue in it that first time it screened.

Then I assume Europe simply showed the same version the rest of the world received the night before? I know when we got it here in Oz, it was commercial-free with no cuts.

It was almost 35 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday (ish).

[Sonny]

I think so Getlo. However, more versions came out after that initial showing of course.

The States got the commercials. That's why those songs were added later, right?

I don't know this, like to know.

And from Oz I only know the wizard lolol, just kiddin.

[utmom2008]

I have a great idea;):D;) Let's all be thankful that we were able to see it, whether it was live, a 24 hour delay or 3 months later:) And...thank goodness we can all buy the deluxe DVD and see it in different ways!(y):king:(y)
