LONDON -- Led Zeppelin fans awaiting the rockers' reunion will have to wait a little longer.

The band's first concert in two decades, scheduled for Nov. 26, has been postponed until Dec. 10 after guitarist Jimmy Page fractured a finger, organizers said Friday.

"I am disappointed that we are forced to postpone the concert by two weeks," Page said in a statement.

"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."

Yeah. they were saying that on the radio this morning. I believe he broke it last weekend...Apparently, the doctor told him he can resume rehearsals in three weeks. I guess it must be a good break...I recall a story from the zep days (the train door incident?) where he was still playing in spite of a broken finger...IIRC, he made a joke about his "three-and-a-half finger" technique or something along those lines.

How would we have known this unless we were told based on his technique, Steve Stevens played with his right wrist in a cast a few years ago.

I saw them in the Northwest in my younger daze. I remember for weeks we would be screaming every five minutes, "WE"RE GOING TO ZEPPLIN!"

We finally go to the concert and Page had a broken finger. He sounded like total crap. Here he was onstage making all the "guitar faces" and sounding like ass. We were majorly pissed. So were alot of other people. It's like he didn't give a shit how he sounded, just pay me and I'm outta here.

If it was '75 and onwards I can totally believe that.

to perform at the level that both the band and our fans have always been accustomed to."

I have any number of bootlegs that say their standard of performance wasn't all that high!!! Don't get me wrong, I love Zep, but damn when they sucked they really sucked. At least Page and Plant -- I can't think of one bad JPJ performance, or even Bonzo despite how drunk he always was.

Maybe they believed that old addage..."The more you drink the better we sound!"

[Tone Slinger]

Yeah, Pagey's statement about thier 'High Standards' sounds a little odd, I mean, he knows the bootlegs are out there right .

Between him and Peter Grant I'll bet they have a list of where ALL of them are!

He looks good in that vid. Healthier and more distinquished with the new gray locks.

I think Peter Grant took his list to the grave with him!! I wonder if my iPod is on their list?

Better keep an eye out, Mike. Peter Grant is liable to make a deal with the devil and talk his way back up!

" You selling them 'pirate' ipods are ya chap ?" "Who's in charge of security ya silly cunt ?"

Ya'll remember that part on The Song Remains The Same movie. Peter Grant was trippin'. I mean I'm sure he was serious, being an ex wrestler and all, but that shit had me trippin hard when I first saw it, dilated pupils and all .
