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

This cd is like a piece of history. It can never be duplicated and remains a recorded example of the life of one dynamic individual. The songs are a collection of her choice ,in music, and sings them with all the excitement and emotion one could ever hope for. This is a "feel good" cd and will leave you with a smile of satisfaction on your face.

While it's no secret that Selena posessed intense vocal talent,there is no other record besides "Live: The Last Concert" that encompasses this so well. Selena's live vocals are just as emotionao, searing, firey and heart-felt as they are recorded, and maybe even more so. The energy surrounding this live recording is not only the energy in Selena, but in her fans as they sing along. You get caught up in the moment as this living piece of time plays.
Some of the most stunning and memorable tracks are the "Disco Medley." By anyone else, this would be known as nothing but a "re-make" but by Selena old disco standards are suddenly brought back to life. Her Live version of "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is better than it is recorded, with the lilting emotion of both her and the audience envigorating the spirit. "Si Una Vez" is both heart-breaking and angering, but only because you can feel in her vocals this is how she felt (or at least she's so convincing that it seems that way). The only track on this record that is a little below the bar is this live recording of "Como La Flor". Selena seems short in her words, but not in her emotion. This song is better performd on the first "Live" album, but is definetly not flat.
This album is a must-have for A Selena fan or any fan of truly great performing, vocal talent or just plain great music.
