Genesis Live Debut 7 Songs Off "Invisible Touch" This Day in 1986

2020 was meant to be the year we got treated to a highly anticipated Genesis reunion. The band has not played together in 13 years, and after news that Phil Collins would likely be scaling back on solo touring, this reunion was the perfect compensation for fans.

Unfortunately we're living in a much different world this year, and we'll have to wait until 2021 to see the band get back together. So for now, let's take a step into the Setlist Time Machine and head back 34 years ago from today, September 18th, to the Invisible Touch World Tour kickoff show in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena.

Invisible Touch was the band's 13th studio album, and fans at the show got to witness Genesis live debuted SEVEN songs off the LP during the kickoff show. Here's which tracks they debuted during the 19-song set:

  • Domino
  • In Too Deep
  • Invisible Touch
  • Land of Confusion
  • The Brazilian
  • Throwing It All Away
  • Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Opening the set was "Mama," off of their 1983 self-titled record. They performed a total of three songs off that album throughout the night. They also played songs off of ...And Then There Were Three..., A Trick of the Tail, Abacab, Foxtrot, and more, but nothing off of their first three albums.

After 12 songs, the trio went into an "In the Cage" Medley featuring 6 songs, including a drum duet, to close out the set. They encored with another Medley on their song "Turn It On Again."
