Spice Girls Setlist - predictable exclusions

Today I finally had a look at the setlist for the Spice Girls tour. What's missing?

Quite simply, what's missing is tracks from their third album "Forever"! Sure, they sing Holler and Let Love Lead The Way (sans Geri), but they don't give the album tracks from Forever any sort of outing whatsoever. We haven't heard any of those except Right Back At Ya sung live, and it is the most recent album, so it would make sense to sing a couple of those rather than sing Spice Up Your Life twice and sing a selection of the lowest-charting solo singles.

But they won't do it. There's a curse around that third album. The Girls do understand to an extent why Forever didn't sell well (unlike Last.FM who reckon it is because there wasn't much promotion, and that fans were "disappointed" when there were no more singles off Forever). But they don't seem to understand that it was the first 4/5ths of the album that stunk, and that there was actually a good song among the rest of the album.

I'm talking about Oxygen. Wouldn't that song have been lovely toward the end of the concert, with just strings and no percussion until the second-last chorus? It's also quite easy to sing, which is always a plus when you don't have very much time to rehearse in :-)

Although I'm disappointed that the Girls don't want to sing Oxygen on tour, I would rather they stay away from Forever's non-singles than run through the majority of that unspeakable tracklist.
