SONIC YOUTH // 2002 Tour Statistics

NOTE: For whatever reason, I separated several "in-store" performances done on the North American Murray Street tour from the remaining proper "tour" shows. These performances of the songs still count towards the final tally though (except for the, uh, "songs" played in Austin, and Thurston's solo versions). EXCLUDED are several radio shows and the Thurston/Lee/Jim acoustic gigs.
