Aloha From Hawaii & 68 Comeback Special = 2003 ?

<span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>Comeback And Aloha Sneak Preview Screenings</span></span>

Later this year, EPE will release through distributor BMG new comprehensive DVD/video compilations of the material from Elvis Presley’s 1968 television special Elvis and his 1973 television special Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, via Satellite. As part of the Elvis Presley Birthday Celebration at Graceland, EPE is offering free screenings of significant portions of the new releases.

As most fans know, for the 1968 special, Elvis taped two "sit-down" jam session shows and two solo "stand-up" shows for the portions of the special in which he is seen wearing black leather. At the end of his two stand-up shows, he taped some material to be used in the assembly of one of the big production numbers – thus the term "production number pickups" you see indicated on our screening schedule. The January screenings will include the two sit-down shows and the two stand-up shows in their entirety, plus the production number pickups. If you attended the screening event we had in August for Elvis Week, note that the edit you saw then was preliminary. This is a new edit. Also for the January screenings we’ve <span style='color:red'>added the complete takes of the finale of the show, Elvis’s performance of If I Can Dream in the white suit. You’ll see all three takes and his false start, plus Elvis’s taping of the phrase "Huh-huh-huh,"(a la All Shook Up) for use in an NBC promo for the show.</span>

As most fans know, for the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii special, the broadcast concert occurred on January 14. It went out live to some countries and on taped delay to others. It was first seen in America on April 4. For expanded content for the American broadcast Elvis and the band went back out on stage in the empty arena to record "insert"songs. For the January screenings, we have chosen to focus entirely on the broadcast concert and on the uncut taping of the insert songs. If you attended the screening event in August, you saw the regular edit of the broadcast show with a few "lost" elements added back in. For our January screenings you will see the broadcast show completely re-edited from scratch, <span style='color:red'>presented in its absolute entirety</span> and with virtually all the montage screen effect (trendy for 1973) eliminated. You will also see in its entirety the taping of the after-concert insert songs. For those few who might have a concern, <span style='color:red'>do note that the few instances of playful cursing in that after-show taping have not been bleeped out.</span> (The rehearsal show Elvis shot on January 12 has also been re-edited from scratch for the new releases. But, we’ll schedule a screening of it some other time because the re-edit of the broadcast show is so exciting and we want everyone to have ample opportunity to see it. In August we screened the full-length "helicopter arrival" footage, but didn’t manage to squeeze it into the January screening schedule.)

Quite a lot to screen for you, <span style='color:red'>but do keep in mind that there will be lots more in the new releases.</span> We’re focusing on some of the more exciting elements for the January screenings and we’re offering repeat showings to accommodate everyone who wants to attend the screenings and to work around the other Elvis Birthday events.

Screenings are at the videotheater in Graceland Plaza. Tickets are free and may be picked up at Guest Services in the ticket office pavilion, starting January 7. Further ticket information will be posted later. Each screening is about 90 minutes long. We’ll update the calendar with actual running lengths soon.

As soon as all content for the DVD/video releases is absolutely finalized and the release date is locked in, we will post detailed information in News on our site and issue and E-newsletter. For now, our existing FAQ on this topic has the available details.

Und was sagt uns das?

das diese dvd versionen auf die wir nun schon so lange warten, wahrscheinlich ein ganz grosser hit werden

Also, du meinst so ein richtig großer Hit???

Mit diesen "sneak previews" geben sie sich zumindest sehr grosse Mühe.

Es wäre schon ziemlich eigenartig, wenn sie hier Sachen wie "playful cursing ... have not been bleeped out" erwähnen und dann bei der eigentlichen Veröffentlichung eine 180°-Wendung vollführen. Nicht dass es mir gerade um Elvis' Geschimpfe geht, aber es zeigt doch, dass man auch um Details bemüht ist. Das trifft ebenso auf die oben erwähnten 3 Takes von "If I Can Dream" zu. Scheinbar hat man das Gespür entwickelt, dass der Fan und Sammler eben nicht nur einen Take haben möchte, sondern im Zweifelsfall alles möglichst komplett. Schaun mer mal.

wer weiß, wer weiß, irgendwann haben wir alles komplett

Hier nochmal der ganze Spaß mit Zeitdauer!

Es scheint als würde das im großen Stil vorgeführt werden.

Vielleicht bekommen wir ja mal nen offiziellen Trailer zum Geburtstag ( von Elvis ).... :tipp:

Leider kommt mir der Verdacht so hoch,...das die Aloha-Rehearsal Show seperat erscheinen wird...

Leider kommt mir der Verdacht so hoch,...das die Aloha-Rehearsal Show seperat erscheinen wird...

Wieso denn`?

Leider kommt mir der Verdacht so hoch,...das die Aloha-Rehearsal Show seperat erscheinen wird...

Besser als ein Verdacht, der dir sagt, sie erschiene gar nicht. Erscheint sie komplett, ist das schon nett.
