Auf der Page <a href=' www.elvisinhawaii.com ' target='_blank'> www.elvisinhawaii.com wird erwähnt, dass Elvis 1957 Concerte in Hawaii gegeben
hat. Hat jemand Info über die Playlist? Der Webmaster der Page hat leider keine Info darüber.

Mehr hab i erstmal net:

10.NOVEMBER 1957 HONOLULU STADIUM HAWAII 2 Show´s um 3:00 p.m. At 8:15 p.m. 14,963 Zuschauer

11.NOVEMBER 1957 PEARL HARBOR HAWAII soll er vor in Schofield Barracks gespielt haben

Habe leider auch keine Songlist zu den Shows gefunden. Anzumerken wäre noch, dass das Konzert vom 11. November in den Schofield Barracks Elvis' letzte Show vor der Militärzeit war. Die nächsten Konzerte gab's dann erst wieder im Frühjahr 1961.

Tom Moffatt met Elvis in 1957 when the young local deejay introduced him before a stage show. "From the beginning, Elvis was very popular in Hawaii," Moffatt says. Elvis played two shows at Honolulu Stadium (now Stadium Park) on Nov. 10, 1957, then played to 10,000 servicemen and friends at the Schofield barracks.

On November 10th, 1957, Elvis performed two concerts at the Honolulu Stadium in Honolulu. The history behind these shows go a long way in showing in a nutshell the personality of Elvis' manager, Col. Tom Parker. During a press conference held aboard the ship, on which Elvis arrived in Hawaii on the 8th, he talked about these concerts, and discussed the postponement of the filming of KING CREOLE. Thanks to Al Dvorin, it later became known that Colonel Parker actually 'lost' these concerts to promoter Lee Gordon, who wanted to book Elvis to tour Australia, in a roll of dices. So the Colonel said "go" and Elvis went - he left on November 5th on the USS Matsonia and aboard telegrammed the Honolulu Star: "Aloha, very enjoyable trip. Sunbathing, swimming, tennis, reading."

Elvis was greeted on his arrival by approx. 4.000 fans, and after the press conference checked into the Hawaiian Village Hotel, while the band arrived later in the day by plane. The two Honolulu concerts were seen by an estimated 15.000 fans, who had the opportunity to see Elvis, sporting his gold lamé jacket, black shirt and black trousers, performing a very strong set including favourites such as 'Don't Be Cruel', 'That's When Your Heartaches Begin' and as the closing number 'Hound Dog', which had Elvis jumping on the lawn in front of the stage to kiss a girl and put on a coconut-hat!

On the next day, November 11th, Elvis performed a third concert, this time in Schofield Barracks Military Reservation, which was part of the residential area of the US Naval's Hawaii base. Here Elvis performed for no less than 10.000 fans made up mostly of U.S. servicemen and their families. Afterwards he held another press conference at the hotel's Carrousel Room, and the day after that Elvis left Hawaii, departing for Los Angeles at 4 p.m. on the U.S.S. Lurline. On all concerts Elvis was backed by Scotty Moore on guitar, Bill Black on bass, D.J. Fontana on drums and vocal group The Jordanaires, as he had been for most of his early performances. What no one knew, probably least of all Elvis, was that these would be the final performances of this band, who made so many essential rock 'n' roll recordings together. Also, it would be the last live performances of the 50's, as Elvis would of course be joining the army in early 1958.

Etwas hab ich noch im Buch "Did Elvis Sing In Your Hometown?" gefunden:

Die Shows fanden in dem Honolulu Stadion statt und die Eintrittspreise kosteten $1,50 an der Kasse und zwischen $2,50 und $3,50. Es entstanden Einnahmen in Höhe von rund $32000.


10.11.1957
Die einleitetenden Musiker waren von der Stage Show des Queen´s Surf Hotel: Ray Tankaka und sein Orchester, die Komödianten Howard Hardin und Sterling Mossman, die Hulatänzer Kuai Barrett, der Sänger Phyllis Brooks und eine Truppe von Jongleuren.

Die erste Hälfte der jeweils eine Stunde dauernden Shows bestritten die Jordanaires und zum Schluss trat Elvis auf.

Einzigster bestätigter Song ist "Hound Dog" - am Ende der Shows. Und zwar vom Star-Bulletin.

Im Anschluss an den Shows gabe Elvis und er Colonel jeweils (?) eine 15 minütige Pressekonferenz im Carousel Room des Hawaiian Village Hotel.

11.11.1957
Um 8 p.m. trat Elvis in den Schofield Barracks Army Base (hier wurde auch der Film "From Here to Eternity (1953)" gedreht!) in der nähe von Pearl Harbor auf. Eröffnet hat diese Show in der Post Bowl eine populäre Schofield Gruppe: The Lightningaires Band.

Übermittelte Songs sind: "Jailhouse Rock", "Hound Dog", "Don´t Be Cruel", "Teddy Bear", "Heartbreak Hotel" und "Love Me".


Um sich vielleicht ein Bild zu machen, was Elvis noch sang. Elvis hatte z. B. in Spokane 1957 folgendes gesungen:

Tutti frutti - Don't be cruel - Heartbreak hotel - Trying to get to you - Old shep - Blue suede shoes - I'm counting on you - Blueberry hill - Teddy bear - Loving you - I love you because - Rip it up - When my blue moon turns to gold again - So glad your mine - Love me - I was the one - Hound dog

in Vancouver 1957 noch:
Heartbreak hotel - I was the one - I got a woman - That's when your heartaches begin

... hat Elvis bei den 57er Kanada-Konzerten nicht auch "Butterfly" gesungen?

Danke für die Antworten!!

Die Shows fanden in dem Honolulu Stadion statt und die Eintrittspreise kosteten $1,50 an der Kasse und zwischen $2,50 und $3,50.

Wo kosteten sie $2,50 und $3,50?

Ups, im Vorverkauf!

Aloha From Hawaii - 1957
By Haruo Hirose ( Japan )



I've been an Elvis fan for a long time and I am especially interested in his early days. I have written this article to shine some light on Elvis' appearances in Hawaii during 1957. I obtained some of the information from two local newspapers, The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star -Bulletin.


Aboard The Matsonia on November 9, 1957

On November 9, 1957, Elvis arrived in Hawaii on the Matsonia at 9:00 a.m. and was welcomed by the shrieks of some 4,000 fans. Before he landed, he met the press aboard ship.

Speaking with a Southern slur and often punctuating his answers with "Sir, " Elvis freely admitted, " I'm pretty green when it comes to clothes. I don't pay over $7 for a shirt and $10 for a pair of shoes... but I do plan to stock up on a Hawaiian outfit while I'm here. " Elvis wore a white knit sweater with a large rolled collar, a wine-colored sports coat and black slacks. Asked if he might visit any neighbor islands, he said, " It depends on how we're received here. Elvis explained their sudden decision to visit the Islands this way, " It was a real rush deal. We were in Hollywood to make a picture ( King Creole, then unnamed ), but it was postponed until the first of the year. We weren't doing anything, so Mr. Parker asked if we'd like to go to Hawaii. I said, " Huh, and was packed right away ".


November 10, 1957

As for his traveling companions, mostly high school friends and disc jockeys, Elvis said, "I like to have my friends along... it gives me a little touch of home. Anyway, it's more fun to see things together. I've got a waiting list... pretty long one... of friends who want to make trips with me. In fact I've heard from lots of so-called old friends from years ago who always say, " You remember me, don't you? " As for such nicknames as " Elvis the Pelvis, " Elvis said " There's nothing I can do about it, but it sounds like little kids trying to find something to rhyme with Elvis. " He said, " I would eventually like to be a good actor. I haven't had time up to now, but I would like to study for it. " Asked why he didn't use the plane, he said, " I don't like airplanes. I'm scared stiff of them. In fact, we could've been on the one missing now. " The Jordanaires and his band arrived by plane later the same day.

On Sunday, November 10, Elvis appeared twice at the Honolulu Stadium and drew 14,963 spectators who paid $32, 000. Elvis was reported to get more than half of it. After juggling, hula, sword dancing,and jive, Elvis appeared on the open air stage dressed in a gold lame jacket, a black shirt, and black slacks. Elvis sang, " Don't Be Cruel, "That's When Your Heartaches Begin, " and many more, but the screams drowned out his voice a great portion of the time. Elvis had only to say, "Thank you very much, " and the audience would come apart. He’d scratch his nose... another scream. He’d laugh... another scream. At times, Elvis seemed to deliberately drop his arm or wiggle his shoulder just to hear his fans react. He performed for about forty minutes. Surprisingly, he spent more time at the piano than he did with his guitar. As he sang the closing number, " Hound Dog, " he sat down on the edge of the stage. .. and then jumped down, off the stage, onto the grass section in front of the stage. He rolled on the grass and moaned out the words to, " Hound Dog. " He kissed a girl across the barricade set up to keep his audience away from the stage,. grabbed a coconut hat and paraded with it on his head. After he finished the song, he stepped into a waiting car and sped out of sight.


November 10, 1957

After the matinee performance, Elvis held a press conference at the Hawaiian Village Carousel Room:

Q (press): Do you like Hawaii?

A (Elvis): I love it. If I can move, I'll move here... if they'll ever deport me. I never realized that I'd be in Hawaii. I heard of the place...

Q: What do you think of the local fans ?

A: Teriffic! I want to say my reception in Hawaii was one of the most well-behaved of my career. I've been on stage long enough to tell if an audience has manners, and today I could have safely leapt off the stage into the midst of them.

Q: What are your vital statistics?

A: Six feet tall, I reckon, and 180 pounds.

Q: Do you exercise when you're not singing?

A: No. That's enough.

Q: What are your favorite colors?

A: Depends on what it is. Cars I like in loud colors, clothes in dark colors.

Q: How often do you have a haircut?

A: Not very often. And when I do, it doesn't look like a haircut.

Q: What is your ambition?

A: My ambition is to be a good actor. But I'll never put my singing second 'cause that's what gave me the opportunity to become an actor.. .I sing a lot at home... I think that I'm learning more. . . I enj oy making movies.

Q:What do you think of your film, "Love Me Tender?

A: I was miscast. I shouldn't have been in it. It was rushed...

Q:What's your favorite song?

A: My favorite recorded tune is "Don't Be Cruel. I also like "You'll Never Walk Alone" and " Til "

Q: Do you think of your fans when you are at a recording session or performing,on stage?

A: You have to think of them to try to get songs that people will like.

Q: Did you invent Rock In' Roll?

A: I explored it. It existed long before I did. It was called Rhythm and Blues. I just tried a new interpretation.

Q: What's your ancestry?

A: Irish, I reckons and some Italian. Never gave it a thought.

Q: What's the first thing you'll look for in your wife?

A: Female.

Q: How about her Southern cooking?

A: I don't like fried chicken. I like pineapples and Coconuts.

Q: Has Success affected your life?

A: Of course. I never realized anything like this was possible... that I'd ever be in Hawaii or Las Vegas or Hollywood. It's quite a change to jump into this stuff. If you're not careful., you'll crack up.

Q: Is it true you're asking $100,000 for a TV appearance ?

A: I'll have to ask my manager. Colonel Parker brought out the fact that why be on TV and let 60 million people see me free when we charge the movie makers so they can charge the audience to see me. Understand? I don't.

Q:Do you feel an obligation to your public?

A: I do feel an obligation. I'm very careful not to do anything that would disappoint my fans.I behave myself all the time. People have preconceived ideas about me... it's natural. I've often said I won't like that person, and then found out he's a nice guy.

Q: What's your -reaction to those older people who don't like you?

A: I can't please everybody. Maybe they're Pat Boone fans.
