They still can't dance

It was on this day in 1991 that Genesis released We Can't Dance. While I've seen conflicting dates, I am going with today, so there.

The last album with Phil Collins, it sees the band embracing the CD format as they gave us 70+ minutes of music. For me, there's some great longer songs but there's also a lot of filler. Amongst the shorter songs, I adore "Living Forever" with its wonderful vocal harmonies and some nice soloing from Tony Banks.

To each their own.

This is the band's show from here in Madison on 9 June 1992. Of course I was there. And with me was my friend whom I introduced to Genesis back in 7th grade. Despite not having the best seats, it was a magical evening with two old friends.
