In early 2012, just a few months after the European copyright had run out, the Memphis Recording Service released a book/cd combo called "Such A Night in Pearl Habor". Elvis' charity concert helped to build the memorial for the casualities of the Japanese attack during World War II.

The hardcover book of 96 pages includes background information regarding the concert and lots of photos. There are also prints of memorabilia, newspaper reports, advertising, etc. It's well designed and gives a high-quality impression.  RCA had released the recording in the early 1980s on the boxed set "Elvis Aron Presley", but this re-release offers a much better audio quality. In contrast to Sony's own collector's label Follow That Dream Records, the products of the Memphis Recording Service are available on the streaming platforms, too.

We hear some impressions of the singer's arrival. The crowd goes wild and the reporter is excited.

After the king's press conference, he received an award for his contribution to the building of the memorial.

The former Navy general Robert Campbell introduces the singer, calls him a good American and mentiones his service in the US Army. This demonstrates, how well Colonel Parker's image building has worked out. Before his client joined the army, many conservative people (the majority of the US population) had regarded him a danger for the morality of the youth. But now he was a "true American" and a role model.

Elvis, dressed in his golden jacket, a matching shirt and black pants, enters the stage and the crowd goes bananas. Just like in the past, he opens the show with "Heartbreak Hotel". Elvis is obviously in good mood. He jokes, laughs and delivers a great performance.

He continues with one of his biggest hits and toys with the reactions of the fans.

The first few bars are enough to make the fans scream, Scotty Moor's guitar solo also gets a positive reaction. Elvis changes the lyrics from "you taught me how to love and now you're saying we are through" to "...you taught me how to milk a cow".

Ever since Ray Charles had released "I Got A Woman" in 1954, the song was on Elvis' set list. He never seemed to get tired of the tune and kept it in his repertoire until the very end.

Even though "Love Me" would also become a standard of the Presley show, he soon started to play the ballad too fast and sang it with less and less emotion. But here everything's fine and Elvis delivers a very good performance.

Now it's time to introduce the band, which the king jokingly calles "The Unwashables". Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana are still with him, but Bill Black had started his own combo. He was replaced by Bob Moore. Further the band consists of Homer Randolph, Hank Garland and Floyd Cramer. The harmony vocals are provided by The Jordanaires.

Until now the concert was made up with songs from the 1950s, but now the king performs a track from the album "Elvis Is Back!". Once again the singer delivers a very good performance.

In a rare move Elvis mentiones the album and sings another song from the longplayer. The fans are screaming their lungs out, Elvis gives his very best and Homer Randolph plays a great solo on the saxophone.

Even though his current releases might suggest something else, Elvis is still able to rock the house.

Now the king grabs his guitar and announces the a-side of his first record. He also mentiones SUN Records in Memphis/Tennessee. The song itself is performed a little faster, but it hasn't lost any of its charme.

The mega seller from 1956 is also taken at a faster pace. But it's a fine performance.

The r&b classic is met with lots and lots of screams. The audience is so loud, that it drowns out Elvis.

Now the king returns to his current material. Once again he has fun with the lyrics and continues the line "you seemed to change" with a cheeky "you got fat".

Of course the current sales monster "It's Now Or Never" has to be on the set list. Elvis sings it very well, but doesn't reach the class of the studio recording. But that's nothing he can be blamed for. This is a live concert and all he has is a single try.

From his current gospel album "His Hand In Mine" the king and The Jordanaires perform "Swing Down, Sweet Chariot". The audience doesn't care if the song is religious or secular. They are screaming no matter what Elvis does.

Just like in the 1950s Elvis ends the show with "Hound Dog". With his singing and his movements he fuels the hysterics of the audience. While the band plays a reprise, the king finally leaves the stage and an announcer says "Elvis has left the building".

The album closes with a radio special, which was originally aired on March 18, 1961. Officially it was to raise money for the USS Arizona Memorial, but in fact its purpose was to create a conservative image of Elvis.
