I didn't want to start a new topic but thought we could discuss the music/staging/costumes of the 2019 shows in comparison with the previous tours?

 

What did you love the most - was there something you'd change, add? How about visuals, the musical arrangements etc :)

 

Discuss :)

I'll go first..:)

 

I have always loved the live versions of 'If U Can't Dance' (Istanbul, Wembley 98 and the 2019 tour)

 

I loved how they brought out the intro a little more (which many referenced as a Madonna/Vogue sample?) which gave it quite an eerie feel. Plus the Spice houses and choreography was spot on :)

 

My 'visual favourites' during the tour would have to be the SYBT mosaic images and of course when the Spice Ring appeared on the screen during 'Something Kinda Funny'.

It was almost perfect. I would have cut Mama and added a mixed remix of Move Over and Step To Me just before Holler. It would have been epic!

 

And maybe Ginger having a different opening outfit.

Mama was never not being on the setlist

Geri needs to stop being landed gentry spice and they need to drop the Hollier remix.

I know, they love it. But I wish it would go, it's such a terrible song. Plus, they dont need it. We know, we all get that they are mums now, but please, give this a rest.

The new Holler mix was BOMB but it definitely felt like it needed a bit more in the beginning. That's why I think a performance of Move Over there just before Holler would have been amazing.

I'm so late to the party and I didn't even pay attention during the show, but during the Move Over interlude, when the ring screen came on with the lyrics, I noticed Victoria's line was 'Illumination' this word was neither in the original 'Spiceworld' booklet or the GH I believe. Mind blown :w00t:

I'm a little late...I have loved every minute of the show...but I must admit that the mix used for Spice Up Your Life was not my cup of tea...I would have preferred the classic intro with "La la la la la la la la la"...the version used for ROTSGT was way better for me...

Also Viva Forever, my favorite song, was better in the previous tours..

However, a show with almost zero defects…

My highlight? Emma's note in 2 Become 1...

It's been a whole year since the 2019 Spiceworld Tour kicked off in Dublin :cry:

They haven't changed at all. My heart.

 

Very nice memories, but they are soooooo frustrating. Showing us that they have a lot of HD content of performances (with an audience, and without) and behind the scenes. Going to all that trouble just for it to be used as social media clips is very baffling.

THIS THIS THIS!!!

You are seeing some of the stuff recorded for the Netflix documentary there, like the sit down interview with all 4 on sofas, them rehearsing in full costume and being awarded a plaque. I wish they would just put it on youtube but I guess with Geri changing her mind again to wanting to tour they are holding onto it seeing what transpires.

 

To think they are holding back so much footage and stuff that will almost certainly be released the moment they die in load of cash ins (not being horrible but without them around to stop things being released it will get released).

I understand there is more to come. It makes sense if they don't wanna give us the whole thing just yet. It's actually a good sign.

They were going to give you it all anyway, the tour documentary was for xmas and Australia feb. It isn't like anyone was ever going to not go to see them because they saw them on Netflix if anything it would serve as promo to push more tickets.

Then there was some luck there. They wouldn't have toured this year anyway. Those stuff can build another momentum for the new legs.

Australia was Feb this year Queen and Adam Lambert toured stadiums in Australia in Feb, the lockdown didn't start anywhere until March.

 

It is incredibly bad timing actually as they would have gotten it done and not had this massive break now. There is absolutely no guarantee that any concert with 20k plus people will happen anywhere in the next 2 years.

 

To show how worried countries are of big groups causing a 2nd wave, the Australian open tennis tournament to be played in Jan 2021 they are already discussing measures to make it go ahead which include it being only open to Australians to spectate and that players will have to quarantine entering the country.

 

It might be a long time before any country feels comfortable enough to let 10s of thousands of people gather together especially including people from abroad.

I agree with every word tbh Sammy. It's such a shame they didn't just do Australia in February like planned they could have had it all done just in time and Australia would finally have had the tour they deserve.

 

The girls are so bloody frustrating sometimes, they achieved SO much but at the same time they have just thrown away so many other chances and opportunities, they are incredibly lucky to have gained their iconic status really, they don't deserve it sometimes.

Right now our best hope is the vaccine. I heard there are potential 3 countries that could succeed. The UK makes the most progress. The scientists and doctors are pretty much aware that we can't live like this for long, people will be dead by collapsing economy as well.

A UK and Ireland stadium tour followed by some kind of Christmas release and then an Australian tour would have been amazing. They do sometimes let these opportunities pass them for no good reason at all 🤦‍♂️
