Led Zeppelin Reunion Postponed Due to Broken Finger
Those lucky ticket holders for the most anticipated reunion show of the year, if not the decade, will have to anticipate a wee bit longer. The reconvening of Led Zeppelin for the first time in almost 20 years, scheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London on Nov. 26, has been pushed back two weeks, to Dec. 10. The reason for the announced delay is that Jimmy Page has broken a finger, which will preclude him from playing guitar for three weeks, on advice of doctors. "I am disappointed that we are forced to postpone the concert by two weeks," Page said about the long-sold-out show, for which a million ticket requests were reportedly made. "However, Led Zeppelin have always set very high standards for ourselves, and we feel that this postponement will enable my injury to properly heal and permit us to perform at the level that both the band and our fans have always been accustomed to."
The concert, a tribute to the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, will also feature Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, Paul Rogers, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini. Information about ticket refunds, as well as other info, can be found at www.ahmettribute.com.

I AM A GUITARIST/KEYBOARDIST FOR 41 YEARS. I AM 53 YRS OLD. I HAVE PLAYED MANY A GIG IN MY DAY. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT LED ZEPELLIN OR ANY OTHER ROCK BAND. THEY PLAY THE SAME OLD TIRED SONGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WON'T LISTEN TO CLASSIC ROCK AT ALL ANY MORE, THERE IS NO LIFE IN THEM, BECAUSE JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. YOU ARE LOST WITHOUT HIM!!!

Ray, well aren't you "superior" as in church lady on SNL. You don't listen to Rock music but you went to a rock story. Shouldn't you be spending your time on the Jesus chat circuts rather than wasting it here writing comments? I am a Christian, and I believe as you, that Jesus is the way, truth and light. I also believe there is much to be enjoyed on this earth, including rock music, as long as it is kept clean and not vulgar. Chill Out Man

Hey Ray, sounds a bit like you are an old tired musician. I'm older than you and have come to understand that the "Fans" want to hear the old songs, thus they buy the concert tickets. If you don't like Zeppelin, don't go to the show.

Hey, JB, I too was at the Tampa concert in Tampa and I STILL have my stub to this day! Yes, my friend those were the daze! ;-)

Hey Ray,
You sound like "Why couldn't I be a rock star?" We're about the same age and I also play guitar but I still enjoy it. What about you?
gigiat 11-04-2007
hey ray!! i was at the concert too in '77... i couldn't believe they ended it and then the sun came out!!!!
Randyat 11-04-2007
Ummmmm RAY If I wanted to read about the big Jesus... I would have pulled out the old fiction book called the Bible. Led Zeppelin was a very talented band. If you have been playing for 41 years ....how come you never made it big. Answer...... FUCKIN% RETARD!!
