Sure you didnt watch them on video instead or maybe SVT
NRK didnt send these shows every christmas.....like Aloha aired new years eve 1979 and then in 1986.
In Concert was only aired once,in february 1980 (btw very late compared to many other european countries)
68 Special also aired in february 1980 and then around 1986.
My family got our first VCR in march 1985 and the first Elvis programme I recorded was the "One Night With You" that NRK aired during easter that year....good times
Then later that year I bought the "Aloha From Hawaii" VHS video (uk import) and it was expensive but worth every penny

Wow, what a great memory for details
Fantastic! Well, I can't really say anything other than my memory certainly isn't anywhere nearly as good as yours.
I guess I didn't see them "all" every year.
Anyway, we didn't have SVT but my grandparents did and I spent almost every weekend at their place from age 6 until 12-13, so I guess I caught some of the shows there as well.
I do however have one distinct memory of seeing the Aloha show at home so that must have been 1979. I also remember seeing the Aloha at Ula in Sandefjord when I was 15, so that must have been 1986. But that was sometime during the summer.
As for In Concert, I'm sure I saw it on several occasions so I guess I must have seen that on SVT as well. The 68 show might just have been those two times. I'm not sure.
What I do remember very well, was seeing TTWII on SVT when I was around 10-12. That was by far the best experience I ever had regarding televised shows.
Finally, I never saw any of the shows on VCR since we didn't have one, so they must all have been from the regular TV schedule
Anyway, thanks for that great piece of information!
