I hated to see that happen to a song like this and don't think it should have been in that setlist.

It always sounds good with a band and this time around, ISA was especially scintillating. I don't know when/if FM might tour again and I'm so glad at least it's there, better than ever for 2013, no matter what happens in the future.

you know i cannot not react to this.

i understand there are several people here who hated OMS ISA, but there are just as many of us who loved loved loved it. so it's a wash as far as superfans go.

however, more general audiences at OMS were just as appreciative, standing, clapping and hollering for OMS ISA (as well as Come!), as they are at Mac shows or when he'd do it with the backing band at solo shows. those audiences had the right to hear it too. it felt even more intense to many of us, the way he was doing it at OMS.
