Me Veras Volver: 1997's Farewell tour done right

"Something just quite wasn't right about both "El Ultimo Concierto" releases in 1997. It had the songs, it had the fans, it seemed like the perfect goodbye release, but there was something that didn't quite click. I had always wondered what that was, and until the Me Veras Volver tour was released on CD and DVD i found out: it was lacking passion!



Because the band ended in such terrible terms in 1997, the goodbye tour back then seemed more like a responsibility to Sony BMG records rather than something the three of them were dying to do. The Me Veras Volver Tour release highlighted this in a massive way. It has all the elements that make a live album great, but it also has a magical element to it, with Gustavo, Zeta and Charlie playing with passion and really giving it all on every performance.



The double CD highlights include : PicNic en el 4o B, Cuando Pase el Temblor, Signos, Fue, Un Millon de Anos Luz, Zona de Promesas, Cae el Sol & Profugos. I would have to agree with a previous review, nevertheless, in that I felt the intro was absolutely essential and it's a shame they decided to leave it out. Other than that, this release is absolutely brilliant."
