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".

Famous quotes containing the words amor and/or tour:
“My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
