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

I moved the Copenhagen date from Nov 20th to Oct 20th -- it just seems unlikely that the date was that far away from the rest of the tour, and ending in the UK seems more sensible. I also moved the Brussels date but it may have been October, as well. To be honest, I'm not sure where these dates originally came from.
