March 18th 1961 - Elvis Salutes the USS Arizona A preview radio broadcast, paid for by Col Tom Parker, of Elvis singing songs of faith and devotion in preparation for the benefit USS Arizona memorial fund concert. Features include special announcements, appeals and interviews.
This release documents Elvis' benefit concert recorded at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, to aid of the USS Arizona Memorial Fund.
Elvis' obvious enjoyment is apparent as he is once again on stage, performing just his 3rd show since 1957. With Elvis unleashed and like a livewire, he spontaneously delivers an extraordinary musical experience, hailed as one of the most thrilling and exciting of any Presley show ever!
Also included for the first time ever, is the 30 minute promotional radio broadcast from before Elvis' arrival.
Elvis Presley, wearing a gold lame' silver sequin lapelled sport coat and thumping a mother of pearl-inlaid guitar, sang up a storm at Pearl Harbor's Bloch Arena last night for a crowd of 5,500, mostly teen-agers. It was a storm of cash for the Arizona Memorial, which is taking shape about a mile from where Presley wowed 'em. ... There can be no mistake about the waves of enthusiasm that were set off less by sub-navel quaking and shaking than by just plain talent. This report was prepared from one of the $100 seats - it's true nobody got in free - in which I felt like a man taking notes with his back to a heavy surf. Each time tumultuous applause and shrieking subsided after each number, I was almost surprised to find I hadn't been washed away. This acclaim saluted more than his performance. The applause also was for a man helping build a monument the best way he knows how.
The cracking band features Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer on piano, Hank Garland on guitar, Bob Moore on double-bass as well as Elvis’ usual band Scotty Moore & DJ Fontana and The Jordanaires - "The Unwashables" as Elvis calls them.
