==Tour== {{main|We Can't Dance Tour}} [[File:Genesis Live- Land Of Confusion.jpg|thumb|right|Genesis performing at the 1992 Knebworth Festival]] Genesis supported the album with the 68-date We Can't Dance Tour across the United States and Europe from 8 May to 17 November 1992, with their longtime touring musicians [[Chester Thompson]] on drums and [[Daryl Stuermer]] on bass and lead guitars.{{sfn|Bowler|Dray|1992|p=222}} It also marked the 25th anniversary of the band, and featured a 20-minute medley of their older material recorded in the 1970s.<ref name=mcall1992/> For the first time since 1978, the setlist did not include "In the Cage" from ''[[The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway]]'' (1974).<ref name=musician1992/> Booking agent Mike Farrell said Genesis spent millions of their own earnings to put the tour together.<ref name=musician1992>{{cite magazine|url=http://thegenesisarchive.co.uk/musician-june-1992-genesis-are-interviewed-during-1992-tour-rehearsals/|title=Three for the Road|first=J.D.|last=Considine|magazine=Musician|date=June 1992|pages=34β36, 38, 40, 42|access-date=25 February 2018}}</ref> Designed specifically for stadiums, the set featured a 200 ft-long (60.9 m) stage designed by Marc Brickman and built to the band's specifications with 80 ft (24.3 m) sound towers and three 20 x 26 ft (6 x 7.9 m) moveable [[Jumbotron|Sony Jumbotron]] screens that alone cost $5 million, all needing 42 lorries to transport. The advantages of these was that images from videos or artwork was projected on them to illustrate some songs, while live camera footage of the band gave everyone in the arena a front row view.<ref name=musician1992/><ref name=mcall1992>{{cite web|url=https://www.mcall.com/1992/05/31/rock-band-genesis-thrives-on-its-mega-event-shows/|title=Rock band Genesis thrives on its 'Mega-event' shows|date=31 May 1992|newspaper=The Morning Call|access-date=25 February 2018}}</ref> Collins sang with an in-ear monitoring system which he credited to singing more in tune and more effortlessly than before as he felt he was always "fighting" with the band's sound. It also reduced his worry about the condition of his voice on tour.<ref name=musician1992/> Collins would not tour with Genesis again until he returned in 2006 for their [[Turn It On Again: The Tour]]. Recordings from several dates were released on the live albums ''[[The Way We Walk, Volume One: The Shorts]]'' (1992) and ''[[The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs]]'' (1993). The dates at Earl's Court in London were filmed and released as ''[[The Way We Walk - Live in Concert]]''.
