i was there as well...WHAT HAPPENED???  anyone have any further info on
this??  i was quite traumatized and of course disappointed after waiting so
long for this show...what happened to isobel??  is she alright??  and WILL
THEY RESCHEDULE??  i wonder what bearing this has on the remainder of the
tour...it seems to me that if her illness is serious enough to preclude a
performance by the remainder of the band, it wouldn't be surprising if the
rest of the tour meets the same fate...anybody know anything???
