5.0 out of 5 stars A piece of musical heaven, February 16, 2005
By 
Sebastian (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
(This review is for the set of 2 cds, A and B, that by all means should be considered toguether. Soda had to release 2 cd's for contractual reasons but we forgive them for this..)

Set yourself in Buanos Aires, at the packed River Plate stadium, August 1997. It is the last concert of what is without any doubt the greatest rock band to ever have come from latin-american soil. The unforgetable music of La Ciudad de la Furia, a song about the darker side of Buenos Aires itself, blares into the stadium and penetrates deep into the collective conciousness of the thousands of adoring fans. Now fast forward to the last song, De Musica Lijera, pure rock and roll bliss, fans screaming the lyrics like mad and amazing gutar riffs roaring for the last time. Everybody in the stadium knows that is to be the end of it. Soda Stereo is to be no more. They can put the sadness aside, in between these two moments all those present had been treated to an unadultaretad piece of music heaven. It is precisely that what this pair of cd's try to capture.

To overstate the importance of Soda Stereo to latin-american music is impossible. This band which fused elements of ska, new-wave, pure rock and others into music that was remarkably progressive for its time and place has influenced so many others that it effectively has placed itself at the top of the latin rock world. In the 80's they opened doors for what would later become a musical revival not seen in Argentina since the time of the tango. If you have not listened to their music yet, take some time to do it. Listen repeatedly to these cd's and pick up all of their subtlelties, for the music created by Soda is just plain great. Even if you do not understand a word of Spanish you will apreciate what you will be listening to.

Soda has always delivered better performances live than in the studio, feeding off the crowd's energy. The performances in these cd's are no exeption. Listen to classics like La ciudad de la furia, Persiana americana, Zoom, El temblor, Ella uso mi cabeza como un revolver, Cancion Animal, Musica lijera among others and understand what this band was all about.

It pains me to see some of the trash that inundated the american and world markets coming from latin-america and at the same time for there to be no difussion of some great music like the one Soda created. Some gems from latin-america are known worldwide such as Brazilian music, salsa, merengue and other colorful examples. It is time for the rocker side to be known too.

Sell all of your other music if you have to, but get these cd's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Musica para recordar y disfrutar..., August 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
Es musica para revivir momentos del concierto. Soda toca sus grandes exitos que lo hicieron darse a conocer alrededor del mundo. Con la excelente voz que tiene Cerati y la musica suave y melodica se puede sentir la nostalgia de no volver a escuchar en concierto a este grupo recien desintegrado.

SODA STEREO es la punta de lanza del movimiento latino de rock , siempre fueron inovadores, majestuosos, musicos geniales y Cerati el cerebro que junto todo eso, estos discos capturan en concierto todos esos sentimientos, fabuloso

Si eres fan de la banda es obligatorio, si eres un fan pasajero tambien, ya que aqui encuentras una seleccion de los mejores temas, que como siempre, estan todas las que deberian estar y faltan todas las que deberian de estar

5.0 out of 5 stars La Mejor Banda de Rock Latino se despide, November 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
La Mejor banda de rock latinoamericano se despide de su audiencia con dos Cds en concierto de su mejor musica. Ojala que Cerati, Zeta y Charlie vuelvan algun dia a tocar, pero si deseas vivir su musica para recordarlos por siempre, todo fan debe tener estos dos Cds en su coleccion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imperdible!!!, August 29, 2007
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
No tener este disco es no tener presente la historia y la evolución de Soda Stereo... es un icono de la música latinoamericana, Cerati demuestra la impresionante capacidad de hacerse sentir en todas sus músicas con sus sutiles mensajes, y sigue sonando fresco, olor a nuevo!!!
Si amas a Soda, este disco más el LADO A, no te pueden faltar!!

5.0 out of 5 stars La despedida?, July 7, 2004
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
Las despedidas siempre son duras. Es el caso de este Album. He escuchado el album, mas sin embargo no lo he comprado ni lo comprare. La razon es simple. es el ultimo, muchas de las canciones suenan opacas y con son de despedida; pese a ser lleno de vida, es inengable el hecho de saber que tocan por ultima vez y se despiden. (musicalmente se siente que tienen que cerrar un capitulo de su vida pero no quieren). Esto no quiere decir que no sea un buen trabajo. Lo es! pero tengo mi razon para no escucharlo y saber de ritmos mas alegres y locos de Soda Stereo que ustedes ya conocen en otros trabajos de ellos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Espero no sea lo ultimo que oigamos de Soda, January 15, 2002
By 
This review is from: El Ultimo Concierto B (Audio CD)
Tanto el disco A como el B fueron grabados para documentar la última gira Soda Stereo por varias ciudades del continente. La principal razon para la edicion de dos discos separados fue cumplir con las clausulas del contrato con la disquera ya que la banda debía editar dos discos antes de dar por terminado su relación comercial con BMG.
Personalmente tuve la oportunidad de presencial "El Último Concierto" en el Poliedro de Caracas y estos dos discos resumen lo que en esa noche se vio. El concierto duró alrededor de tres horas donde practicamente Soda Stereo interpreto sus temas mas conocidos.

Es una lástima que una banda con tanta calidad en su musica y entre sus interpretes decidiera dejar de existir ya que estos dos discos demuestran la fuerza de sus interpretaciones. Durante toda su carrera musical Soda Stereo siempre busco explorar sonidos y estilos y cada gira representaba una innovación y una nueva manera de descubirse a si mismos.

Me encantaria que Soda Stereo editara un Box Set o quizas un Video/DVD que documentara su musica y, sobre todo, sus presentaciones en vivo.
