The Way We Walk - Live in Concert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genesis - The Way We Walk - Live in Concert is a 2001 double DVD featuring live performances from the We Can't Dance tour by Genesis. The footage was filmed in November 1992 at Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, and first released on VHS in March 1993 as Genesis Live - The Way We Walk - In Concert.

The songs on both releases are identical, although the concert on the DVD is split in half to accommodate the extra features. These include interviews, a feature length commentary by the three band members (Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford), multi-angle viewing options, and a photo gallery.

The set list features eight hit singles, from "Turn It On Again" to "Jesus He Knows Me", next to longer albums tracks such as "Fading Lights" and "Domino". Seven songs from We Can't Dance are performed. The "Old Medley" comprises extracts from "Dance On a Volcano", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", "The Musical Box", "Firth of Fifth" and "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", and little parts of "That's All", "Illegal Alien", "Your Own Special Way" and "Follow You, Follow Me".

While the two live albums issued prior to this video separated the shorter songs from the longer ones, The Way We Walk - In Concert offered a chance to see them in their original context. The only songs included on The Shorts but omitted from the video are "Throwing It All Away", "Mama", "That's All" and "In Too Deep" (the final three having been recorded on the Invisible Touch tour); conversely, the tracks on The Longs all appear on the DVD. The only songs that appear on the video but not on either of the two live albums are "Turn It On Again" (though it was included as a B-side of one of the "Tell Me Why" CD singles in early 1993) and "Dreaming While You Sleep", which appears on Genesis Archive #2 1976-1992.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • The versions of "Old Medley" on The Longs and on the video can be distinguished by the song titles Phil Collins intones during "I Know What I Like"; "Your Own Special Way" on the former and "Misunderstanding" on the latter.
  • Unlike the previous two tours, "Turn It On Again" was performed in its original form, save for a brief crowd appreciation for the musicians on stage.
  • During "Turn It On Again" Collins humourously references "All I Need is a Miracle" and "Silent Running" during his introduction of Mike Rutherford. These were both substantial hits for his band Mike + the Mechanics in 1985.
  • Instrumental versions of "Way of the World" and "Living Forever" (both originally on We Can't Dance) are used over the end credits and on the photo gallery portions of the DVD. Neither have been officially released in full.
  • The version of "I Can't Dance" used at the beginning of the DVD is the "Sex Mix" by Howard and Trevor Gray. This appeared on the "I Can't Dance" single in 1991 and later on the 2000 anthology Genesis Archive #2 1976-1992.
  • Despite Phil Collins singing the word "fuck" in "Invisible Touch", the video release was rated E ("Exempt from classification") in the UK.
