Led Zeppelin at Manticore Studios 1977

Led Zeppelin had begun rehearsing in November 1976 for their 1977 U.S. Tour.  By January or February they had moved to Manticore Studios in Fulham, an old theater owned by Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Many of the B&W photos below were taken by Pennie Smith and appeared along with an interview by Roy Carr in NME, 26 February 1977.

Magic Question

Here's a simple exercise. Ask yourself this one question:
Just how good can life get?

Then dare to imagine the answer.

Do it again. And again. And again!

Why?

Because if you can't do this exercise, you can't do Magick. If you can't imagine how you want your life to be, you cannot tell the Universe what you want.  If you don't know what you want, there is nothing to manifest. Simple as that.
