==Tour== {{Main|Invisible Touch Tour}} [[File:The old Wembley Stadium (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|Genesis performed four shows at London's Wembley Stadium]] The Invisible Touch Tour consisted of 112 shows between September 1986 and July 1987. The core trio were joined by their longtime touring musicians, drummer [[Chester Thompson]] and guitarist/bassist [[Daryl Stuermer]]. Every song on ''Invisible Touch'' was performed live during the tour, except for "Anything She Does" which was used during the show's introduction. The 1986 dates included a [[List of Genesis medleys|Genesis medley]] that included the final two sections of "[[Supper's Ready]]" from ''[[Foxtrot (album)|Foxtrot]]'' (1972). The stage production included 400 [[Vari-Lite]]s which required five lorries to transport. The tour opened with a sold out North American leg which included five nights at [[Madison Square Garden]] and also five at the [[Los Angeles Forum]]. Each date on the leg grossed an average of $300,000.<ref name=OFM87>{{cite web|url=http://www.philcollins.co.uk/options587.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021020024348/http://www.philcollins.co.uk/options587.htm|archive-date=20 October 2002|title=Phil Collins Interviews β Options for Men May 1987 β Michael Watts|first=Michael|last=Watts|work=Options for Men|date=May 1987|via=PhilCollins.co.uk|access-date=17 July 2019}}</ref> The US legs were sponsored by [[Anheuser-Busch brands#Michelob|Michelob]] beer.<ref name=BB19870307>{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/80s/1987/Billboard-1987-03-07.pdf|title=The Progressive Reign of Genesis|magazine=Billboard|date=7 March 1987|volume=99|issue=10|pages=G3βG22|access-date=6 September 2021}}</ref> It was followed by the band's first and only tour of Australia and New Zealand; the former dates saw Genesis perform "Your Own Special Way" from ''[[Wind & Wuthering]]'' (1976) with a string section.
