Wednesday, 2 July 2003 Lee's Palace, Toronto, Ontario (cancelled)

Gig cancelled on June 9.

------------------

Friday, 4 July 2003 Cafe Campus, Montreal, Quebec (cancelled)

Gig cancelled on June 9; this would have been the Fall's first Montreal gig since 1983. Apparently these two Canadian gigs were cancelled because the band would have had to pay $500 (£500?) for a visa, and since the tour was operating "on a shoestring," the gigs were deemed to be not financially viable. Others insisted the SARS epidemic was to blame, however.
