"A lot of the band thought he could sing better than I did anyway," remarked Gabriel of Phil Collins, who took over lead vocals. "The singing side he could handle, but I don't think he enjoyed singing some of my more obscure lyrics."[3]

The tour began on 26 March 1976 in London, Ontario, Canada and ended on 11 July 1976 in Stafford, England. Shows in Glasgow and Stafford were filmed for Genesis: In Concert (1976).
