BAD MOON RISING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

This was the band's first tour with Steve Shelley. They were still sticking pretty heavily to the Bad Moon Rising material, as well as both sides of the forthcoming Flower/Halloween 12". They were also introducing audiences to several new songs that they could expect on EVOL, such as "Expressway" and "Secret Girl", and one song that would never be heard again: "Kat N Hat", an oddball tune that Lee began developing a vocal for as the tour progressed.
