For the vast majority of people who had traveled to the O2 Arena in London from a total of 50 countries, according to vocalist Robert Plant, to see the mighty Led Zeppelin play their first full show in nearly 28 years, the idea of merely being in the same building as the legendary rock group -- Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham (taking over on this night for his late father, John Bonham) -- was more than enough. One gentleman told Spinner that he sold his truck and came from Canada just to be here -- and was happy he did. And after a video clip highlighting the rock heroes' 1973 record-breaking stand in Tampa, Florida, a show that broke the Beatles' attendance record at the time, the long-awaited moment arrived as the quartet thundered into the first album's 'Good Times, Bad Times.'

It was evident from the start that Zeppelin was still the powerhouse of old. After following the show starter with very strong versions of 'Ramble On' and 'Black Dog,' the latter of which sent the crowd into a frenzy, the slightly retooled foursome hit hard-rock ecstasy on an extended 'In My Time of Dying.' With every eye in the house riveted on the band, the quartet took the song into a series of explosions, every one more ferocious than the previous.

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.

Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini has played some high-profile gigs since releasing his debut album, 'These Streets,' last year. But as big as Bonnaroo or Austin City Limits are, the festivals don't quite compare to opening for Led Zeppelin when the veteran rockers reunite at London's O2 Arena on November 26. Nutini joins a line-up that also features Who guitarist Pete Townshend and Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, in a tribute to late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

"Basically it was put, 'Do you want to support Led Zeppelin?'" Nutini explains to Spinner on how he landed the gig. "I said, 'Yes.' My first thought was, 'I can't wait to see that show. I can't wait to see Zeppelin reform and play again for one night."

One of the reasons Nutini was asked to play the bill was because of his relationship with Ertegun. "The first time I met him it was last year," Nutini says. "I did a show in New York at the Mercury Lounge, and he came. It was an amazing thing to see Ahmet Ertegun at one of your shows -- trust me. I was in awe of anything he had to say to me. When I speak to other people and they say, 'Ahmet spoke very highly of you,' it's a pleasure. There aren't a lot of people like that anymore."

Giving truth to recent rumors, the members of Led Zeppelin have officially announced that the band will re-form for the first time in almost 20 years to headline a charity tribute concert. The show, to take place on Nov. 26, will honor the memory of Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, who signed the legendary rockers to his label in 1968 back when they were calling themselves the New Yardbirds. The appearance will mark the first time that Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones will perform together under the Led Zeppelin name since 1988, with the late John Bonham's son Jason behind the drum kit, as he was during that last concert reunion of the three surviving members.
