How often did Elvis Presley play in Hawaii?

Answer 1

Yes, Elvis loved Hawaii and frequently vacationed there. The Joe Esposito's Home Movies has a lot of vacation footage. Elvis also made 2 movies in Hawaii and basically kick started their tourist industry. He also had three concerts there - in 1960 as a benefit to raise funds for the ships sunk at Pearl harbour. In 1972 and of course the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii special - seen by the largest global audience of any tv program ever.

Answer 2

No. Elvis usually stayed at the Hawaiian Hilton when on vacation on the main island however when he first came to Hawaii to film Blue Hawaii in 1961 he stayed at the CoCo Plams in Kauai where most of the film was made also. Bungalow 54. He returned there on several vacations througout the next years even after he and Priscilla were married. Now as for Oahu when he visited there he rented a private house in the mountains and did so in Kauai a few times also. Elvis probably visited Hawaii twenty times not including his filmings there and in his later years 1972 thru 1977 after doing the Aloha from Hawaii special in Honolulu he always stay at the Hawaiian Hilton.

Answer 3

The first time was March 25, 1961 to raise money for the USS Arizona Memorial which sank during the attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The second time was for the "Aloha from Hawaii" concert broadcast on January 14, 1973 which benefited the benefit the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. Interestingly, Elvis had performed a concert on January 12, 1973 in case there were "problems" with the January 14th broadcast.

Elvis also performed three shows in Hawaii in 1972 on November 17 and 18 (note: originally the Aloha from Hawaii broadcast was to be in 1972 but it was changed to January 14, 1973 due to the success of Elvis live concert movie entitled "Elvis On Tour").
