We Can't Dance - Tour

Tour

The "We Can't Dance" tour featured shows in large arenas and stadiums throughout North America and Europe. It would be the band's final full-length tour until the 2007 Turn it On Again reunion tour. The tour is captured live on the albums The Way We Walk, Volume One: The Shorts, The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs and the concert video The Way We Walk - Live in Concert.

The set list featured much of the "We Can't Dance" album as well as the "Invisible Touch" and "Genesis" albums. The only material from the 1970s played on a regular basis was featured in a new "Old Medley" of songs which replaced the "Cage" medley of past tours.

Typical set list:

  • Land of Confusion
  • No Son of Mine
  • Driving the Last Spike
  • Old Medley: Dance on a Volcano / The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway / The Musical Box (Closing Section) / Firth of Fifth / I Know What I Like / That's All / Illegal Alien / Your Own Special Way / Follow You Follow Me / Stagnation / I Know What I Like (Reprise)
  • Fading Lights
  • Jesus He Knows Me
  • Dreaming While You Sleep or Throwing It All Away
  • Home by the Sea
  • Hold on My Heart
  • Domino
  • The Drum Duet
  • I Can't Dance

Encore:

  • Tonight, Tonight, Tonight / Invisible Touch

Encore #2:

  • Turn It on Again

Also played on the tour were "Throwing it All Away", "Mama" (during the first few shows in North America) and "The Carpet Crawlers" (one time only in Southampton, England). Both "Way of the World" and "Living Forever" were rehearsed for inclusion in the tour set list but ultimately didn't make it with "Way of the World" being dropped only four days before the first show of the tour.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:

    “Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
