Sat, 31-Jan-1998
The Capitol Ballroom, Washington D.C., USA
Gig No. 2 of the American leg of the Event Horizon Tour in 1998.
Scheduled support act were Heavy Water Factory.
However, due to some ear infection on Andrew's part, this concert was
cancelled completely. In fact, The Sisters had already started to soundcheck
when Andrew felt in need of a doctor, who then banned him from performing.
According to SistersTours, this semi-official statement for
the Dominion mailing list was released the next day :
"As already reported, yesterday's DC concert was cancelled. Mr Eldritch is suffering from a heavy cold and an inner ear condition caused by flying with said cold. After struggling through the New York gig, the Washington concert was cancelled on doctor's orders. Eldritch has improved sufficiently for today's Toronto gig to go ahead, though obviously he isn't 100% recovered as yet.
"No further cancellations are anticipated."
