Popular Creek Music Theater, Chicago, USA

First show of Tune In - Turn On - Load Out

Other acts at the event included Public Enemy, Gang of Four and Warrior Soul.

A review of July 14, 1991 by Mark Carothe from the Chicago Tribune recalls:

[...] With the pavilion less than half full, the Sisters entered the barely lit stage amidst a barrage of fog that didn`t let up for the entire hour-long set. As light patterns provided various murky settings, lead singer Andrew Eldritch dramatically twisted his arms and legs and stalked the stage in slo- mo, often vanishing inside a cloud.

Eldritch`s deep growl of a voice, which resembles a groggy David Bowie, rumbled beneath a wash of searing guitars and the relentless pounding of Doktor Avalanche, the band`s drum machine. On songs like ``Alice,`` the cyclical guitar riff and propulsive mechanical rhythms would drive you from beginning to end. On other songs, the same thing would happen.

The fog, synthetic thumping and self-absorbed posturing got to be a bit much. No wonder the highlight came when Doktor Avalanche went kaput in the middle of ``Body and Soul,`` and Eldrich filled the repair time by singing an incredibly tortured a cappella version of Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty`s ``Stop Draggin` My Heart Around.``[...]
