Selena - Live

Selena's Grammy-winning Live album is a sizzling reminder of her electric stage charisma and blossoming talent as a performer. The album's nine live tracks--recorded in February 1993 at the Coliseo Memorial in Selena's hometown of Corpus Christi--showcase the late singer's uncanny ability to infuse a love song with both girlish innocence and a heated sexuality. Particularly effective are extended versions of "Como La Flor," "Baila Esta Cumbia," and "La Carcacha." You can almost feel the heat seeping through your speakers. The album also includes three new studio tracks--"No Debes Jugar," "La Llamada," and the Emilio duet "Tu Robaste Mi Corazon"--which foreshadow Amor Prohibido, Selena's final Spanish-language album. --Joey Guerra Amazon.com

The live recordings of these classic songs along with the three studio recordings makes this album worth listening to. December 6, 2008

Still my favorite Tejano CD

I remember listening to this CD endlessly back during the summer of 1995 shortly after Selena's tragic death. I have listened to Selena's studio albums many times and couldn't believe how good this live recording was. Selena and her band exhibit a lot of energy throughout this record. After listening to a lot of Tejano since, I have to say that this effort by Selena and company is still my all time favorite in the tejano genre. Listening to _¿Qué Creías?_ and _Si la Quieres_ brings tears to my eyes because this great and talented lady's life was cut so short. I'm not surprised that this CD won a Grammy. Tejano music, for me, doesn't get any better than this. Highly recommended. July 27, 2005

Selena's Grammy winner is still her best

This collection could easily have been called a greatest hits albums. Old fans and new will enjoy this fabulous collection of Tejano hits - Como La Flor, of course and her splendid "Cumbia." Selena is immortal through her music and continues to inspire us all. September 1, 2004

Excellent!!!

This was actually the last Selena CD i got. I have "Amor Prohibido", "Greatest Hits", "Todos Mis Exitos", "Dreaming Of You" and i decided to get a copy of "Selena Live" to add to my collection. I was certainly impressed with her live performance. Selena sounds great and i like the way she says "Corpus Christi" during a few of the songs. My favourite songs from this album are: Como La Flor, Ven Conmigo, Ya Vez, La Carcacha and Tu Robaste Mi Corazon(duet which sounds great) and also No Debes Jugar and La Llamada(although these were not recorded live). In summary i say GET THIS CD YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! February 1, 2004
