Genesis Live - Invisible Touch was a single by Genesis. It was released on limited edition 7" and CD near the end of their 1991-1992 world tour in support of We Can't Dance. Both formats were numbered and came with a booklet; the CD was housed in a box and the vinyl edition in a gatefold sleeve.
The A-side was recorded during this tour, and is the same version found on the accompanying live album The Shorts but for some minor edits. The B-sides "Abacab" and "The Brazilian" come from the Invisible Touch Tour video.
The 7" featured an edited version of "Abacab" (it faded out) while the CD included whole versions of both songs.
Like the albums The Shorts and The Longs, and the home video The Way We Walk - In Concert, the title of the record was prefixed by "Genesis Live", with "(Live)" appearing as a suffix on the back sleeve and on the disc itself.
During live performances of "Invisible Touch" Phil Collins substituted the line "And though she will mess up your life" with "And though she will fuck up your life". Consequently the swear word was bleeped out on the single.
Unlike the original recording of the song, this live version was a Top 10 hit in the UK, reaching #7. In one of the interview sections on the Way We Walk - Live in Concert DVD, Phil Collins jokes about re-releasing the song until it finally becomes a hit.
