SHALL WE SING TOO MUCH?

 

:lol: That was unexpected.

 

Hahahaha I know right!

I can definitely detect the quality of this recording being subpar :cry: There's a muddiness to the instruments that isn't coming through as clearly as they should.

 

Such an unusual choice for the Universal team to have selected a non-Geri era version of Too Much. It would have made more sense to go with Viva Forever from Toronto considering that Geri's vocal contributions to that were always quite minimal.

I was honestly just thinking that last bit myself!

Love the live version , again shame about the quality of the recording.

Bless, Geri really knew how to milk saying Spice Boys in Spanish!

This "ripped from a VHS tape" audio quality realness for Stop omg-

 

This is rough :cry: Omg the fact that this is pressed on the vinyl is sending me! :lol:

 

If it was a better quality source this would be a fun performance, but in this state it's not very pleasant on my ears :cry:

Geri starting Stop off with one of like 6 Spanish phrases she knows lol. Again this is pretty decent vocal wise, I think maybe the choice of which of these songs was picked from which city was probably down to which vocal take sounded best and flattered the girls the most.

 

Track 17 - Move Over - Live in Istanbul, Turkey / 1997

The intro being cut out of this <_<

Move over in Istanbul is epic but it needs the visuals. Seeing them let loose, even Victoria, was always fun. The band do a fantastic job of the live music on this.

 

Mel B did love to shout her lines sometimes live didn't she.

Love this version. The intro would have been great on the release.

Track 18 - Spice Up Your Life - Live in Arnhem, Netherlands / 1998

Love my country being represented in such a shit quality :D

Not heard Viva Forever Live yet, but I think this audio quality for Spice Up Your Life is perhaps the most offensive of the lot... :cry:

 

The vocals are very up front and centre, with the backing music too lost in the mix. The balance of it is totally off.

 

It's a bit of a shame because these Spiceworld Tour versions are actually incredible live, but these particular tracks really do not show them off very well. :arrr:

This live version of SUYL sounds really flat, the least flattering vocals wise of the live offerings. Funny they way they do the dance name part though.

 

Track 19 - Viva Forever - Live in Manchester, UK / 1998

Viva Forever live is so stunning :wub:

I guess this audio quality isn't as bad as others, still a bit more flat than I'd like, but it doesn't seem as muffled :thinking: The first chorus was a bit dodgy vocally. Hoping it picks up as it goes along!

Viva Forever live is their best moment and this just doesn't do it justice. I would have rather had live from Wembley audio with the choir.

 

I guess it is good we have a live version of their best song released finally.
