BAD MOON RISING EUROPEAN TOUR TWO

After trying out some new material in the US with newly enlisted drummer Steve Shelley, Sonic Youth embarked on their second European tour that year, giving the fans who loved Bad Moon Rising a taste of what was to come. I seem to be missing a large portion of these tour dates, but this tour seems to have brought the band to many places they'd never ventured before.

Tour Length

18 shows / 52 days

Note: the fact that there's a huge gap in November where I'm either missing dates or they didn't play kind of throws that off. 39 days is the actual stretch if you exclude the Denmark/Sweden shows.
