Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole - Hawaiʻi '78 Live Rehearsal

Restored video of IZ and his band rehearsing Hawaiʻi ʻ78 in full for a recorded television performance. The loose start and Israel introducing his band at the end shows how much fun he had performing his music. His infectious sense of humor always made things more fun.

The first couple hundred times I heard this song, I'd always cry, it affected me so deeply -- but why? It made me go deeper into "who I am." Thank you to everyone who made this video possible.

The Greatest...not even the VOICE can equal any talent to beat IZ!!!! and I'm not Hawaiian, just remember Iz with much love from the 3 years we spent in Hawaii from 77-80
AND ITS WORSE NOW, THE ANCESTORS WOULD CRY TO SEE WHAT COMERCIALIZATION IS HAPPENING

I "found" IZ in 2012. My life has been better ever since. What an absolutely amazing man. This song reaches this Haoli to the very depths of my soul❤❤❤

I sang this song to the ocean on my last visit to Maui in July 2023. Thirty or more dolphins came to visit shortly and it was beautiful. I still feel heartbroken and cry for Lahaina

I always get chicken skin when I hear this song. What a tremendous talent..

[@dixiewinxeqandmore356]

I have had a few difficult weeks, and I find '78 to be comforting after hard days. I think it's kismet. I found this was uploaded by the channel. I'm grateful. My heart is always with Lahaina. Mahalo! ❤
