Concert #27 - Genesis at the Dodger Stadium (May 22, 1987)

My first-ever stadium concert. I was accompanied by Rodica. An interesting experience overall, aside from the time it took us to exit the parking lot. The light show was truly stunning, they must have invested millions in their sophisticated systems.

Hard to believe, but the concert was still part of the "Invisible Touch" World Tour, which started in September 1986. This means that the concert was pretty much the same as the one I saw in October 1986 at the Forum.

Watch "Home By The Sea" from their London show of the "Invisible Touch" World Tour:

 

Paul Young was the opening act. His fluffy pop was not a good match with Genesis' far more complex sound.

Concert #19 - Genesis at The Forum (October 15, 1986)

Genesis in 1986 - Phill Collins, Mike Rutherford & Tony Banks

This was the Los Angeles leg of the Invisible Touch tour. Five consecutive nights at the Forum, I believe all were sellouts. No opening act. Powerful and elaborate music, combined with mind-blowing visuals. They played most songs from their current album, including the Brazilian, an instrumental number and "Throwing It All Away", my favorite song from the album. From the older days, they played "Domino", "Los Endos", "Abacab" and the exceptionally good "Home By The Sea". They certainly did not deserve the rather dismissive review that appeared in the Los Angeles Times.
