*This date was changed from the originally announced November 26 due to Jimmy Page fracturing his finger (ouch!). According to the press release issued, "The injury to Page's finger, which was sustained this past weekend, will not allow him to play guitar for 3 weeks.

"The specialist treating Mr. Page said, 'I have examined the fracture to Mr. Page's finger, and it is my opinion that with proper rest and treatment, he will be ready to resume rehearsing in three weeks time, and thus able to perform on December 10.'

"Jimmy Page added, 'I am disappointed that we are forced to postpone the concert by two weeks. 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.'"
