Live, The Last Concert - - February 26, 1995, Houston TX [Live]

Amazon.com essential recording
With so many products still flooding the market to commemorate--and cash in on--the tragic death of Tejano queen Selena, it's easy to forget what made her so special in the first place. Beneath all the books, movies, documentaries, and failed musicals, however, is the music. Selena's energy, talent, and joyous spirit are perfectly captured on Live, the Last Concert, the seventh posthumous release from EMI Latin. (A collection of remastered early recordings was released in February by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla.) The concert took place February 26, 1995, as part of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and it has been meticulously remastered for this release. From the introductory "Disco Medley" to the bittersweet cumbia "Como la Flor," Selena works the crowd effortlessly, who respond with thunderous applause and enthusiastic sing-alongs. Every moment on this stellar disc is infused with a thrilling urgency, thanks to Selena's rich, throaty vocals and passionate delivery. The lighthearted "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is surprisingly solid in the live format; and Selena transforms "La Carcacha," a fun cumbia about her boyfriend's clunker of a car, into a full-throttle Latin pop epic. There's never a false moment here, and Live, the Last Concert stands as a testament to the light that still illuminates the hopes of Selena and the hearts of her unwavering fan base. It's also one of the year's best releases--in any language. --Joey Guerra

Selena At Her Best.......2006-03-30

Selena Quintanilla Perez...what a wonderful artist....this concert was so amazing..I attended this concert in 1995...not knowing that this was her final performance.She gave it her all and she was looking beautiful as always.This concert will always be a favorite of mine.She put all the hits into one show.I was blown away by her performance....From the disco medley to Ya Ves to Como La Flor to No Me Queda Mas...She did it all..She had it all....the moves,the voice,the smile...She was so devoted to her fans.There will never be no one like her.Selena was well on her way to becoming a huge star in the English language market.But this concert shows you how big she was on the Latin side.Selena still remains the biggest selling Latin artist ever and most likely will remain that way.So make sure you pick up a copy of this cd today..You will not regret it........SELENA VIVE!!!!!!!!!!

This CD makes my heart go a-Bidi Bidi Bom Bom!.......2004-04-26

Selena is my favorite performer of ALL-TIME for good reason: She rocks! I'm Asian-American but her music still speaks to me, and I learned Spanish because of her. My Hispanic friends let me know who Selena was before her death, but I really got hooked, line and sinker, after I heard about her tragic death on March 31, 1995. Selena also first inspired me to sing, and since I've flourished musically, and I hope to dedicate my first album to her someday! SELENA LIVE: THE LAST CONCERT is a superb and thrilling tribute to one of the world's most promising stars. She was that good...she was IT! Singing LIVE she shines like Venus in the sky; where most lose (especially during LIVE performances when most of the singing is done poorly or is lipsync-d) Selena succeeds tremendously! I miss her immensely - no other performer, ever, can top this charismatic beauty! Really! Vive Selena Quintanilla-Perez!

I cant belive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-09-07

The reason my review is called ''I cant belive it!!!''' is because I thought that Selena's spanish songs wouldn't be good. What I mean is I don't know a word of spanish and any song that I don't understand I kinda know I wont like the songs but Selena's songs WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The songs have a good beat everything!!!!! That's why I'm this album 5 stars. And today I wanted ''Selena - Greatest hits'' but I changed my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO getting this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing.......2002-06-13

This album was absolutely incredible. I became a Selena fan a few years ago when I began studying Spanish, and when I picked up this album I fell even more in love with her music. Not only does it include the great hits that she was made famous for in the Tejano world, the album also gives the feeling of the energy she put into her lives shows. She truly was an artist of the people.

THE BEST CD EVER.......2002-05-28

SELENA IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD SHE IS BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER PERSON THATS WHY SALIVODER WAS SO JELOUS OF HER BET SHE MADE HER MORE KNOWN OUTSIDE THE TEJANO MUSIC WORLD
