A THOUSAND LEAVES NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

Although SY have always favoured their newest material live, this was the first tour since 1988 where they EXCLUSIVELY performed nothing but new material, night after night, save for 2 old songs. They continued this trend for 3 1998 tours, simply showcasing A Thousand Leaves and 2 pieces from the SYR series. Shows would invariably end w/ Death Valley '69 extended into an extrapolated noise jam, usually with Kim doing vocals similar to those on "Contre Le Sexisme" or "Invito Al Cielo".
