The Invisible Touch Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the English rock band Genesis. The tour began on 18 September 1986 in Detroit and ended on 4 July 1987 in London. London dates at Wembley Stadium were filmed for a video release entitled Genesis Live at Wembley Stadium. The group earned as much as $300,000 a night in North America alone. The five shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. in May 1987 grossed $5.4 million and were attended by a total of 273,414 people.
Set list Whilst the set list varied, this is a representation of the average set list from this tour. Each show opened with the music video to "Anything She Does" from Invisible Touch. "Invisible Touch", "Throwing It All Away" and "Land of Confusion" were performed in a lower key to make it easier for Collins to sing and protect his voice.
