BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
“Tonight, Tonight, Tonight” is the second track on the 1986 album Invisible Touch by Genesis. It peaked at number three in the U.S. and number 18 in the UK as the fourth single from the album. The working title was “Monkey, Zulu”.
The single included an edited version of the song (at 4:28) and the first part of “Domino” (“In The Glow of the Night”) as the B-side. This shorter version was used in the later compilation Turn It On Again: The Hits. Some singles that included the full version of the song included the second part of “Domino” (“The Last Domino”) as the B-side. Other releases contained the rare track “Paperlate” and a 12″ remix of “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight”.
The song was performed in concerts in support of Invisible Touch between 1986 and 1988. A shorter version (which segued into “Invisible Touch”) was played on the We Can’t Dance and Turn It On Again tours, albeit transposed down a key to account for the deepening of Phil Collins’ voice over the years.
