Phil Collins and co. dusted off the 1980 single – which appears on the group’s 10th studio album, Duke – during a concert at Chicago’s United Center on Monday (November 15). It was the first show on the Last Domino? tour’s US leg.

As Rolling Stone notes, Genesis hadn’t played the track since their Mama tour in 1984 before incorporating a segment of it into a live medley in 1988. Collins also made it a part of his solo gig setlists in 2004.

The recent revival of “Misunderstanding” came after an acoustic section of the band’s Chicago show, according to Setlist.FM. Tune in here:

Last month Genesis were forced to postpone their remaining UK appearances for 2021 “due to positive COVID19 tests within the band”. It was subsequently confirmed that the group will return to fulfil the London dates in March 2022.
