Luis Miguel concert chronology

The Segundo Romance Tour was a concert tour performed by Luis Miguel during the last part of 1994 to promote his last album. He began the tour in Mexico before the official release of Segundo Romance, performing the new songs of the album on the 16 sold-out concerts at the National Auditorium in Mexico City.

The tour consisted of well over 1 million people attending his shows, of which 25 performances were throughout major cities in the United States, most of them sold out.[1]

History

To promote the album, Miguel began his Segundo Romance Tour in August 1994 with 16 shows at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, which drew an audience of more than 155,000.[2] Miguel performed throughout Mexico, the United States and Argentina until December 31, 1994, when the tour concluded in Acapulco.[3] The first part of Miguel's set list featured pop songs and contemporary ballads; during the second half he sang boleros from Segundo Romance and ranchera songs, before closing with "Será Que No Me Amas", the Spanish version of the Jackson 5's "Blame It on the Boogie".[4]

In October 1995, Warner Music released the El Concierto live album and video, a compilation of Miguel's performances at the National Auditorium in Mexico City and his concert at the José Amalfitani Stadium in Buenos Aires.[5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised its production and Miguel's performance.[6]
