Luis Miguel concert chronology

Amarte Es Un Placer Tour was a concert tour by Luis Miguel to promote his album Amarte Es Un Placer. This tour had a length of 8 months and ran through Mexico, US, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela, Brazil and Spain between 1999 and 2000. The concert performed in Monterrey on April 17 was later released on CD, VHS and DVD as a music video called Vivo. It was the highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist, as well as the most extended. These two records have been broken by another tour of the same artist, the Mexico En La Piel Tour in 2005. The tour consisted of 104 concerts and was attended by approximately 1 million fans.

Critical reception

The Dallas Morning News writer Mario Tarradell found Miguel's show at the Starplex Pavilion in Dallas to be underwhelming. He panned Miguel's performance of the first bolero medley as rushed" and "erratic" and observed that the artist "spat out the lyrics, swallowed a few of them, and displayed a childlike hyperactivity in the midst of lush ballads". Tarradell also remarked that Miguel displayed a bizarre behavior during the concert such as using high notes on power ballads (which Tarradell deemed as "totally unnecessary") and was confused by Miguel's decision to do an air guitar while "Bésame Mucho" was being played.[1] The shows lasted for an hour-and-a-half.[2]
