Although Elvis Presley is perhaps one of the world's greatest music legends, he proceeds to slay an audience with more guts and more soul and more intensity vocally than any performer alive.
His shows are not only a production, but a musical 'happening'. And this live recording, which offers eight tunes previously unrecorded by Elvis, is not only a historical event because of the satellite broadcast and the U.S. TV special of the Hawaiian performance, but because Elvis, a focus point in the origin of rock, is perhaps back, cooking again like he seldom has in the past several years.
