Amor Prohibido - Amor Prohibido Tour

Amor Prohibido Tour

Selena promoted the album with an international tour that encompassed US, Mexican, and Central and South American venues. The Amor Prohibido Tour started in Denver, Colorado, on January 10, 1994, two months before the album release. The first leg of the tour continued through Texas and California in early 1994. Selena then performed in Miami, Florida, and continued on to Mexico and the second leg of the tour, in South America. The tour included Selena's first appearances in Guatemala, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina, and a return to El Salvador. Concert debuts in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic were given during the summer, and further dates in Mexico and Texas continued until August. Selena appeared in New York City in September, then returned to Texas for the rest of the year and continued to perform in Mexico during the winter. The tour broke several attendance records, notably at the Houston Astrodome, where Selena performed to a record audience of over 65,000 and outsold country stars George Strait, Vince Gill, Clint Black and Reba McEntire. Michael Clark, of the Houston Chronicle, wrote that "er appearance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Feb. 26, 1995, was supposed to be not only a celebration of Amor Prohibido's success, but also a preview of things to come". Clark also stated that the concert became "historic", as her final televised concert. Ramiro Burr, of Billboard, called the Amor Prohibido Tour a "tour de force".
