Pick among the ones that were filmed, such as Aloha from Hawaii, Tha Concerts at the International Hotel filmed for "That’s The Way it is," The ones included in "Elvis on Tour" (Hampton Roads/Greensboro), the 1968 "Elvis" special, also known as the "Comeback" special, or the ones included in "Elvis in COncert" shot in 1977.

Aloha from Hawaii – in fact I have this – watched it so many times.

Not that I need anyone’s approval for putting a tattoo on my body, but I’m just wondering about…?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:30:42 +0000

how will it be perceived if I put an Elvis Presley image tattoo on one of my arms. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m straight as an arrow but I just happen to be a HUGE fan of Presley. What do you think?

I’m glad to know that you’re looking at the tattoo from the "what I want" perspective…’cause honestly, what we think should have little influence on your choice.

I think that most people would see it and say, "Oh, the King! Nice! He must be a big Elvis fan!". Just be sure to hire a good artist who specializes in portrait work.

As a king of the world:would you give capital punishment to a guilty murderer or jail for life time?

The two choice:
(A)Lifetime in jail:means the person will be put in a place, be feed and also given shelter and a lot of stuff he can do except going outside the world.
(B)Capital punishment: means you end someones life, your life ends too.very simple.

You as a king of the world, you are to implement a rule not for a single person but for the whole humanity. And you know that there are some people out there that are ready to end someone else’s life.
Choice (A): The murderer gets to live, eat, have shelter and do a lot of stuff, but how about the person who got killed? The person who got killed cannot eat, basically for him it was "THE END". His dreams, his family, his everything just suddenly went "THE END"
Again you also have to think that its the whole humanity you are looking at right now. All the people who are ready to commit murder out there are ready to hear your choice.
To clarify the murderer is found guilty and there are a lot witnesses who saw him do it.
If you give him life and no jail. How would you know hes not going to kill again? The other people out there heard your choice, would these murderers be afraid to commit murder now? I mean they know once they kill someone you are just going to get them to work with a family or something? But if the person knows that if he end someones life, there life ends too, then they will have to think a lot before committing this act.
Again don’t look at the individual this is for the whole humanity. The choice you chose will effect all other people who are about to end someone’s life.

I would give him a life but not in jail. Instead, he would spend the rest of his life working for the family he wronged.

Elvis Presley Aloha from Hawaii 1973 ## part 1 of 7

Aloha from Hawaii is a music concert that was headlined by Elvis Presley, and broadcast live via satellite around the world on January 14, 1973. It was watched by over one billion viewers worldwide and remains the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history.The concert took place at the International Convention Center Arena in Honolulu (now known as the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena) and aired in over 40 countries across Asia and Europe (who received the telecast the next day, also in primetime). Despite the satellite innovation, the United States did not air the concert until April 4, 1973 (the concert took place the same day as Super Bowl VII). The show was the most expensive entertainment special at the time, costing $2.5 million.
As the event was the first-ever such performance to be broadcast live via satellite, Presley taped a January 12 rehearsal concert as a fail-safe in case anything went wrong with the satellite, during the actual broadcast – however, nothing went wrong during the January 14th broadcast. For both shows, Presley was dressed in a white “American Eagle” jumpsuit designed by Bill Belew.
Audience tickets for the January 14 concert and its January 12 pre-broadcast rehearsal show carried no price. Each audience member was asked to pay whatever he or she could afford. The performance and concert merchandise sales raised $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii. (Kui Lee was a Hawaiian composer who had died of cancer in 1966 while still in his thirties.)
Elvis performed a vast array of old and recent hits like “Steamroller Blues”, “See See Rider”, “Early Morning Rain”, “Burning Love”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “A Big Hunk o’ Love”, “Suspicious Minds”, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” He showed his vocal range and strength with ballads like the Beatles’ “Something”, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, “It’s Over”, “Welcome to my World”, “I’ll Remember You” and especially during “What Now My Love”. The show is probably most remembered for his performance of the “An American Trilogy”. After the concert had finished and the audience had left, Presley recorded five songs on stage to be aired during the American airing of the show.

Elvis Presley Painting with Cheese Puffs on Velvet – Cheesy Art in Cheetos

The Story behind the painting.

If you have watched some of my other videos you have noticed I sometimes use common objects in an artistic way. I do this because many types of art are far removed from the average person. Creating art with things people come in contact with in their daily lives closes that gap.

So the idea for this piece came from…what else…eating cheetos. My fingers turned orange and I noticed it created an accidental mark on my clothes. From there my thoughts went to fabric as a surface….poof…it made me think of velvet paintings. The Virgin of Guadalupe, Unicorns, and probably the most famous incarnation of velvet painting. The Velvet Elvis. It’s kitsch. It’s cheesy. Thus a Velvet Elvis painted with cheese puffs.

Elvis ~ G.I.Blues

Elvis in the movie G.I.Blues from 1960 with Co-Star Juliet Prowse…

Here are the words to the song:

They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I’d blow my next month’s pay
for a slice of Texas cow

We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
And they don’t give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can’t make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can’t make a pass
Cause they’re all wearin’ signs saying:
“Keepen sie off the grass”

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

Elvis Presley – Heartbreak Hotel

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:07:58 +0000

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
Its down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

And although its always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin,
And the desk clerks dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They aint ever gonna look back.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.
