Having lived over 20 years on Oahu before setting foot in Waikiki I never had much chance of seeing Don's big show, and musically not all that interested, but he's The Man(!) and in 2000 he played a full show with The Alii's in his intimate harborfront room 'Don Ho's Island Grill', and I lucked upon the vantage point to watch Don use a lyric teleprompter for songs he's sung millions of times. But the show was retro-awesome and had real musical power, back to the days when he was first exploding. He was really funny too, especially if you could understand him.
