Spice Girls - Love Thing (Live At Wembley Stadium, London / 1998) 

especially when Geri left.

Mel C is kind of the lead singer. Another album and it would have been Mel C and the backup singers

@@MsJubjubbird I dont think that because they would continue to write songs the way that encapsulates all of them in their distinctive way.

@@TheMessUK p

@@MsJubjubbird Nah. Emma sang way more than Mel C on Forever

While pregnant! QUEEN

Soo true

I like the Istanbul dance routine. I think it's simple and more fun

Franco Lima 🔥 honestly both routines are sooo much fun. Actually that was the original dance routine for whenever they performed Love Thing (Bravo Super Show, A3, Both Istanbul shows) and then they performed Love Thing 3 times in the 1998 tour at Wembley and they came out with this more complex dance routine. Reason being now that Geri was no longer part of the group they definitely were able to spice up their choreography more.

At the time, they said when Geri left it actually allowed them to sing more and do more challenging choreography.

Love Thing snaps with a band, not the cd version. And I love the routine.

I LOVE how they sound as a 4 some in this show. And Vic's voice is VERY well rested.

Wow! What a perfect description!!

amen sister.

Geri wearing a figure skater costume she got at a costume shop on discount for like 5 quid in the Wannabe video - ICONIC.

They may as well have arrived from the depths of outer space, that's how fast and explosive their global conquering was!

Except Victoria , she had labels 💙💙💙 love them

Never Give Up On the Good Times for me but this is up there.

This could have been a single perfectly

Little did you know that this was the label's 1st choice for their debut single, but the girls fought for Wannabe and Wannabe won ! 🤷‍♂️

Sean R I would also put “Something kinda funny” up there

Ruth Alarcon They're going on world tour in 3 days. :D

Same here 🙈❤

So sweet!!! I love reading this.

She became so confident after Geri left.

Sam Salter she got way more solos 😌

@@juannnnnnnnnnnnnnn and now Geri gets way more solos :)

Não só a banda tá pegando fogo.🎶💃🔥

i speed it up to 105% on amazing slow downer app

💖✌ true😊 ✌💖

Tobias Burrell who they are the worst girl group ever they couldn’t compare to TLC or Destinys child.

Worst girl group of all time? Sorry but the spice girls are the most influential, successful and legendary. They are absolutely amazing

@@prettylola3012 Lol, then why you're here watching the 'worst girl group ever?'

@@prettylola3012 You don't have to like the Spice Girls or their music, but you can't objectively say they are the worst girl group. Quite the opposite; they're one of the greatest girl groups of all time.They sold more albums than TLC and Destiny's Child. They are the second highest selling girl group after The Andrews Sisters, and their debut album Spice is the best selling album by a girl group of all time, worldwide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_girl_groups

100% agree, this is a marvel of a concert... a joy to watch. However if considering Istanbul 11 months earlier, October 1997 (16 songs in their very first concert, no backing dancers, emotive stress at higher levels etc.) that one almost was even better... ? Sort of a 'magic' that perhaps, not even at Wembley they were able to repeat... just a my idea but, I'm aware many other SG admirers have noticed that.

FRANCESCO FISSORE I agree I thought Istanbul was their best overall concert performance.

Istanbul had a lot more lip syncing, so this one was better.

Earl's court concert was the best by far

@@BmcC102istanbul was entirely live. The VHS/DVD/TV release was dubbed in some areas.

SushmitKajalekar take me there with you please 🙏🙏🙏😥

@@JCnun wish I could.

SushmitKajalekar 😔😔😔No worries, have fun and enjoy it so much for me 🤩🤪😍

Me2🎉🎉🎉

Yes that is a sign translator up on the screens

I never figure out about that! Im shocked!

IKR? Her face is a picture lol!

❤

Me too! I played it every day till the tape worn out. Lol 😅

Guillherme Camargo they are!

I prefer this version over the one they played in 2019.

@@deadheartbreaker I much prefer 2019.

@@rayoflight6505 That sounded too much like the recording. This one sounds totally live, the 2019 sounds lipped to me.

@@deadheartbreaker Also this song is one of that needs vic in it, It isn't the same without her in it

.... hai visto il video di Istanbul di un anno prima (Ottobre 1997) con 'Love Thing' eseguita nello stesso modo? Persino migliore secondo me... non saprei dire esattamente in che cosa, ma migliore. Forse una leggera differenza nella parte strumentale, oppure il loro primissimo vero concerto e quindi una 'magia' speciale che a Wembley non si è ripetuta... qui erano ormai stanche fisicamente e psicologicamente dopo 28 - 29 mesi sotto i riflettori di tutto il mondo, un'avventura condotta a ritmi di lavoro maniacali e quasi assurdi.

Marcos Bayas right and she can sing...those haters can be quiet

@@1718Dance she didnt give that much but they were better as four without Jerry, they had more fun and looked so much better here

@@artistva4372 HER name is Geri....

@@artistva4372 i didn't saw Tom neither ! Sorry just joking! E comunque anche a me in questa formazione piacciono un sacco!

@@antoniofaroppa4347 ... vero, tuttavia 11 mesi prima ad Istanbul avevano eseguito per la prima volta Love Thing in questa versione diciamo così, 'simil-funk' (quasi identica a questa qui di Wembley), pochissimo diversa e proprio soltanto in cose minime. Erano in cinque, il loro primo vero concerto, una grinta con un qualcoa di speciale che riesce difficile esprimere a parole, e che probabilmente non si è più ripetuto. Qui a Wembley è davvero un concerto splendido, ma ha chiaramente il gusto di un '... arrivederci, torneremo sulla scena ma sarà tutto decisamente diverso... senza dubbio'. Come ha detto Mel C in un'intervista neppure troppo tempo fa, "...la partenza di Geri è stata, in pratica, l'inizio del declino per noi''.

De acuerdo! Favs, favs, favs 👏🏻👏🏻

Siii

It was actually going to be their debut single, but 4 of the 5 vetoed it in favor of Wannabe

​@@aquajoshWhich one was the person that wanted this to be a single?

@@bar-ok1zd Victoria

@@bar-ok1zdmight be Victoria since she didn’t have a solo in Wannabe 😂

Simone Chèrie Love Thing is definitely their best none single Song.

Somewhere there is. I forget where I heard it. It comes in with the "don't". "don't". "don't"vocal. Let me see if I can locate it

This is the same choreography from the Istanbul shows where Geri was in it.

It wasn’t self discipline as much as it was an eating disorder. She mentions it in the Giving You Everything documentary if you want to check it out.

@@nicosantana7277 ...the matter doesn't change - the whole thing was a magnificent show of self-discipline though. Not to mention her obsessive gym activity everyday, everywhere, no matter the time and/or location (if I think at the time needed to do everything she wished to do, outside the mere nature of their required committments). This does mean, simply, a great self-discipline - as clearly admitted and stated in the great book "Wannabe - how Spice Girls reinvented the pop fame" by D. Sinclair.

@@francescofissore161 self-discipline? Eating disorder is a mental illness, she hardly had control over it. This shouldn't be glamourised.
