Über diesen Titel
On January 14, 1973, Elvis Presley made television and entertainment history with "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite," a concert that became the first entertainment special to be broadcast live around the world via satellite. While technically a television event, this groundbreaking broadcast had profound implications for filmed entertainment and the future of global media distribution.
The concert took place at the Honolulu International Center Arena (now the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena) and was beamed live to approximately 40 countries across Asia and Oceania, reaching an estimated audience of 1 to 1.5 billion people—nearly half the world's population at the time. The broadcast to Europe was delayed and aired later that evening, while the U.S. broadcast was held until April 4th to avoid conflicts with Super Bowl VII coverage.
This wasn't just a concert; it was a technological marvel and a cultural phenomenon. Producer-director Marty Pasetta, who had previously directed Academy Awards telecasts, helmed the special with cinematic flair. He employed multiple cameras to capture Elvis from every angle, using innovative filming techniques that would influence how concerts and live events would be shot for decades to come. The production utilized RCA's cutting-edge satellite technology, with signals transmitted from Hawaii to the ATS-1 satellite hovering 22,300 miles above the Pacific Ocean.
Elvis, ever the showman, understood the magnitude of the moment. He wore his iconic white "American Eagle" jumpsuit, encrusted with rhinestones and featuring a massive eagle design on the chest and back—one of the most recognizable costumes in entertainment history. The King was in remarkable form, having lost weight specifically for this global showcase, and delivered electrifying performances of classics like "Suspicious Minds," "Blue Suede Shoes," and "Can't Help Falling in Love."
The special's impact on cinema and filmed entertainment was substantial. It demonstrated that live events could be captured and broadcast with cinematic quality on a global scale, paving the way for future concert films, live television specials, and eventually, the modern phenomenon of streaming live events worldwide. The broadcast proved that audiences around the world would tune in simultaneously for major entertainment events, establishing a template that would be followed by everyone from Michael Jackson to modern-day streaming concerts.
The "Aloha from Hawaii" special was also released as a theatrical film in parts of the world, and the soundtrack became one of Elvis's best-selling albums. The event raised over $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund, adding a charitable dimension to this entertainment milestone.
In retrospect, January 14, 1973, marked a pivotal moment when entertainment, technology, and cinema converged to create something unprecedented—a truly global media event that foreshadowed our interconnected world of instant, worldwide content distribution.
