King Biscuit have provided us with another classic, this time from the Invisible Touch tour. Genesis played five nights from 13 October to 17 October 1986 at The Los Angeles Forum and from comparison with audience tapes we know that Phil's dialog is all from the shows recorded on the 14th and 15th. Presumably the songs are also from these two dates. The set features the smoldering closing sections of Supper's Ready at the end of the In The Cage Medley, with Phil's voice in screaming top form. This section was subsequently dropped when Genesis reverted to their standard ending of Afterglow. In Too Deep and Follow You Follow Me, also dropped early in the tour, are present. This gig is the source for the live versions of Invisible Touch and Throwing It All Away released on 12 inch single in the UK titled Genesis - Throwing It All Away (Live Version).

This show was originally broadcast in December of 1986 by King Biscuit as part of a huge, four weekend special entitled "The Genesis Event". The tracks on this two-part set were originally broadcast on Parts III and IV of "The Genesis Event". All four parts are can be viewed here:
