9th January 1973 ALOHA


January 9, 1973 - a chartered Boeing 747 landed at Honolulu Airport on the island of Oahu.

When Elvis Presley disembarked from the plane it was to prepare himself to be the centre piece of a historic occasion, the first artist to hold a concert which was to be directly transmitted to almost 40 countries by satellite.

Elvis and his entourage, 'The Memphis Mafia' and their wives, were met by 'Colonel’ Tom Parker and Sonny West at the airport.

held a charity concert in 1961

and who was now going to hold another concert where the takings would go to charity.

The helicopter lands, and the Colonel goes forward to open the Door on Elvis' side...

He passes a couple of Hawaii Girls in dance Motions.

Elvis with the Colonel, meet up with Red and Sonny..

With Lamar just ahead of them... they head towards the barricades and the fans.

He approaches a fan with a Red and also a White Lei, the mafia crowd in behind him as she places them around Elvis's neck.

The bulk of the fans are to the left of this girl...

TOM MOFFATT
the local Radio Station DJ is next to her on the Right..

Elvis will have recognised him as he was the MC on the Hawaii 1957 show..

And also present when Elvis made Blue Hawaii...
when the Colonel got him and Ron Jacobs to dress up in Snowmen costumes.

Tom Moffatt ~ with the Straw Hat, and Microphone...

Elvis met Tom on other occasions,

being interviewed on the Set of GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS..

and also Tom recorded the Interview between Peter Noone of Hermans Hermits while Elvis was making Paradise Hawaiian Style.

The Colonel has moved to the far left, but is watching that Tom Moffat only interviews Elvis for a very short time (around 1 minute)

Elvis nods a goodbye... (to TOM) as he moves on to all the fans waiting...

The crowd and fans are all grouped to the left looking at Tom Moffatt..

Behind Tom a few of the other Memphis Mafia are a few feet away (for extra security)

Elvis moves along, shaking hands with many of the fans....

then receives a Yellow Lei from a female fan....

followed by another...

then so many Elvis' Neck and lower face is hard to view...

and the following nights were used -

in secrecy - to rehearse at the Hilton's Hawaiian Dome.

(on the Hiltons recreational ground)
