Product Description
Released as part of a two-volume live set, THE WAY WE WALK,VOL. 1 was recorded during the band's 1992 world tour. Having started out as an over-the-top, theatrical art-rock band,Genesis had become a tireless pop machine by the early '90s. THE SHORTS represents the facet of the band that enabled Genesis to score 16 Top 40 hits in a 12-year span.
The oldest songs on this collection are "That's All" and "Mama", a pair of songs from the band's 1983 self-titled album. The rest of the set is divided between hits from 1986's INVISIBLE TOUCH and WE CAN'T DANCE, the album Genesis was touring behind at the time. The resulting mix is of upbeat numbers ("Land of Confusion"), hopelessly romantic ballads ("In Too Deep", "Throwing It All Away"), and more adult-themed material dealing with father-son splits ("No Son of Mine") and the hypocrisy of televangelists ("Jesus He Knows Me").

Customer Reviews
Nothing beats Genesis live!
I originally bought this album as a pirated MC in 1993 in Poland on a scout trip (I'm a geek, I know), and at the age of 13 this was my first introduction to Genesis, and needless to say I loved it.
I have later bought a Genesis Greatest Hits cd, but I never ever listen to it, instead I listen this.
This cd is all about live atmosphere, and how much of an impact the crowd can have on the music.....and the music on the crowd. Its pure emotion both ways, and even people who normally don't like Genesis (like myself) will like this cd, and for everyone the least bit into Genesis this cd is a must-have.
Great Live Music
Most of these songs are taken from the "Dance" tour in 1992. The music on the live albums always sounds better than the studio recordings, mainly because of the atmosphere you get. The tracks that really sound better than the studio recordings are "Land of Confusion", "I Can't Dance", "Mama" and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" I would reccomend this album even if you have all the studio recordings (I do!).
