NORTH AMERICAN DAYDREAM NATION TOUR
For a month and a half's worth of shows in the US/Canada, SY stuck to the same set they'd been doing all year. Not until 10 years later for the Thousand Leaves tour would they focus so strongly on their current releases (Leaves + the SYRs) and ignore all but 2 or 3 past songs.

Noteworthy jams:
Jumpin' Jack Flash - 12/10/88 Charlottesville - SY are joined by Don Fleming for "Be Yr Dog" which melts down into a very loose jam on the Rolling Stones tune.
Rowche Rumble - 12/11/88 Washington - prompted by a request, the band play about 45 seconds of the Fall song, which they'd recorded a couple months earlier for a Peel session.
