Genesis concert chronology

Working Men's Club in Chiddingfold, England close to the band's recording studio.[1][2] The tour concluded with spots at the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park Festival in Germany.[1][2] A majority of the older songs were transposed in a lower key to accommodate Wilson's lower vocal range. Midway through the set included an acoustic medley of songs from their 1970s output.[1][2][3]

A 23-date North American tour in large arenas was booked to start in November 1997 but it was cancelled due to insufficient ticket sales,[1][2] along with a revised 20-date schedule in smaller venues.[1][2] At the European tour's conclusion, Genesis went on hiatus; Wilson was later informed by Banks and Rutherford that the band would not be continuing. It would be the band's final full-length tour until Collins returned for the 2007 Turn It On Again reunion tour. The tour is captured live on the promotional album Calling Radio Stations, and various unofficial albums.[4]
