Led's version is the best. And to see Auntie Edith's daughter perform a hula that so perfectly portrays harvesting seaweed in the surf, the joy and the hard work, well, this is a joy to watch.
Since i first watched this video i have watched serveral other dancers do this dance. The beautiful lady in this video is dancing a slightly different style. I am not an expert on Hula, but i like the way she dances to the song.
I may be an " outsider " but this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard... and the dancer is wonderful.... this was an absolute joy to watch... thank you for posting !!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Led in the showroom of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel where he was performing with the Beamer Brothers back in 1980. He sat with my wife and I and had a beer with us and signed his new album that featured Honolulu City Lights.
He had the big smile back then, just as he does today. He was a great guy back then and I'm sure he's still a bundle of fun.
Someday I'm going back to Hawaii just to buy him another beer. Nice to see you again Led!
OMG!!! I was the stage manager at this event, and this was THE very first day I ever met Led. This has literally brought tears to my eyes. Mahalo for sharing this.
I was there for this performance and festival could have sat and listened for days.
