This exuberant collection of concert recordings is a robust fiesta, with a lot of love shared between these two Mexican icons and their audience, and it is also historical, capturing for perhaps the last time father and son, El Gran Garañon y El Potrillo, who have been on tour together for about two years.
Their powerful voices are marvelous separate or together, as they share equal time singing their solo hits, and join up for 4 duets, from "Amor de los Dos", which was Alejandro's first recording when he was 19, and started him out on a singing career, to the spectacular "Perdon", with a soaring interpretation of this gorgeous melody by these perfectly blended voices. Other memorable highlights are "Cuando Yo Queria Ser Grande", sung movingly by Alejandro to his father, and a long, slightly modernized version of the exquisite "Como Quien Pierde una Estrella", which was a big hit for Alejandro in 1995. Vicente has many shining moments, like "Me Voy a Quitar de en Medio", and he really knows how to work the crowd, who respond to him with wild appreciation.

I personally don't care for the overall sound quality, which suffers sometimes from the same complaint I had seeing them live at the Universal Amphitheater, where the over-amplification was deafening, and caused a lack of clarity; nevertheless, one must make allowances for live recordings, and for fans of Vicente and Alejandro, this set is a must, to join with the audience with a big cheer. The foldout insert has little more than a song list, and total time for disc # 1 is 46'27, and disc # 2, 63'46.

The first thing anyone will notice about this live concert c.d. is that Alejandro and Vicente sound impressive live just as they do on their studio albums ! With most "live" concert recordings the artist's vocals get lost in the background or mix which is what deters most people from purchasing concert performances on c.d. Most of the times the performance by the artist is hampered by the sound of the crowd and the band or instrumentation ! So, what can account for such an excellent recording (besides the mastering or mixing of the recording)? The sheer fact that Alejandro and Vicente are without a doubt two of Mexico's most powerful male vocalists...Alejandro's voice is unique from his father's in that he posesses that deep baritone and emotive voice. While, Vicente has his own unique style as well...As for the songs on the 2 disc set, they are each incredible, full of life and vitality about the ups and downs of love, life, and anything in between ! This is a 2 disc set that is definitely worth owning and will give your stereo system a thorough workout !

Fuese perfecto si fuese completamente en vivo lo cual no lo es. No sé quién tomó la decisión de recurrir a usar pistas (Lástima que seas ajean por ejemplo se oye idéntica a la versión estudio) en algunos de los temas. La selección de temas y sonido son excelentes. Lo único malo es que dos o tres temas no son cantados en vivo. Igual, merece ser comprado.

I don't understand much Spanish yet. Am taking a course now, but they are terrific!

I don't usually buy live recordings because sometimes the sound quality is not good but being a big fan of Vicente and Alejandro Fernandez , I just have to have this and I was very surprised at the excellent sound quality. I love the song selection including some great duets like " Perdon ". Also is a very touching " Cuando yo queria ser grande ", sung by Alejandro and dedicated to his father. I love this CD and listen to it all the time, a wonderful compilation of the greatest hits of Alejandro and Vicente Fernandez. I wish it is available on DVD.

Primero que nada, me encanta la música de Alejandro y Vicente Fernández y, por eso, decidí comprar este disco. Pensé que iba a ser tan bonito como el de Alejandro llamado «Un canto de México», que también fue grabado en vivo, pero, desafortunadamente, no lo es. Sí, las voces son bonitas y la la selección de canciones me gusta. Sin embargo, no me gusta escuchar tanto aplauso, ni mucho menos el cantar del auditorio. Quizás este concierto fuera divertido, pero eso no quiere decir que se transforme en un buen disco.

Alejandro & Vicente Take To The Stage For A Glorious & Magical Concert!!! Two Cds Full Of Beautiful Songs Sung By Two Gorgeous Voices!!! Listen To The Crowd...These Men Are STARS!!! I Have Been A Fan Of Alejandro Fernandez For Years And I Am Always Amazed At How Powerful & Beautiful His Voice Is!!!!! Another Great Cd In A Long Line Of Great Cds!!!!
