Whole Lotta Love pt 1

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Led Zeppelin Copenhagen,Denmark 5-3-1971

Led Zeppelin
KB HallenCopenhagen,Denmark
June.3,1971
A very good audience recording.

This concert is complete and is 120 minutes.

What a document! One of the rarest tapes ever to surface and one of the most unusual concerts from the band. A nervous night with a sometimes troublesome audience (after the initial tidal wave of pieces,Plant is shouting,”STOP! STOP! Whoa! Tell him…if there’s any trouble,we go off! Right,we go!”

By the time they play a very light version of “Since I’ve Been Loving You”,the group has settled down and Plant does a beautiful vocal workout on “Dazed & Confused”. The main instrumental of the piece is very similar to the BBC Broadcast and a unique,whispered howl is the first refrain of the returning vocal theme (superb).

Page finishes the piece in an “Oriental” mood.Every remote attempt at rhythm,as in some interwork between Page’s violin bow and Plant’s murmuring,is followed by the now legendary Danish clapping.Plant keeps repeating “Good evening!” to try and warm things up a bit.”Black Dog” is rather freely changed in the lyrics.

Plant manages miraculously to control the audience at the beginning of “Stairway To Heaven” and offers a beautiful and intimate version with superb,high-pitched soul flourishes. The end of the song has him hitting high notes just as in the album version,although not as clean.But the big surprises start as Plant announces that,”We’ll try something we’ve never done before…there’s every chance that we will fall apart. If we do,we’ll start again,okay?” (Yes,spontaneity was not dead in 1971!).With an unusual introduction,they start the still-untitled “Four Sticks”,played for the FIRST TIME EVER in public,and the ONLY live recording to date! Page produces a special “Waltz” intro and the chaotic drum pattern faithfully reproduces the effect on the fourth album!

This surprise is followed by yet another one!”Gallows Pole” is played live for the first time also and is the ONLY complete live version known to date! The twelve-string electric guitar intro makes it sound different,and Bonham molds a variant,heavily underlining the first verses of “Keep me from the Gallows Pole!” He follows with a slow cadenza until everything evolves into complete chaos and Page is lost at the end in a disjointed guitar solo (not very effective,but great fun).

The group then embarks on a typical classic version of the “Whole Lotta Love Medley”,similar again to the BBC Broadcast and including a very long instrumental intro to “Mess O’ Blues”. The “Honey Bee” guitar solo is a strange mixture of “Dazed & Confused” and “Since I’ve Been Loving You”. At the end of the song,Plant demonstrates that he has no limits as the final “LOOOVVEEEE!!” breaks all barriers.
“Communication Breakdown” includes a booming bass solo and an almost funky arrangement of “Celebration Day” (first time,too).But the previews and novelties are not over. “Misty Mountain Hop” includes beautiful keyboard playing in harmony with really daring guitar patterns,and “Rock & Roll” (called “It’s Been A Long Time” in the concert) finally has the privilaged,but sometimes difficult Danish audience out of it’s head!

Do you need to improve your communication? If so how?
—————————————-…
Don’t forget to star, if you find the question interesting. However I always ask myself this question, why do people answer, if they don’t find the question interesting … :) :) :)

Both are important. When you are speaking, whether one on one or in a group, you have to consider your audience and make sure they understand what you are trying to say. This means making sure you speak clearly, loudly if the person is hard of hearing, using simple words if the person is young or uneducated, and pulling out your best vocabulary words if ther person finds himself or herself to be intellectually superior.

To answer your second question, sometimes I star a question because I can't answer and I want to help my contact get more answers!

Sending and receiving verbal and non verbal messages, Social , safe, structured-interviewing teaching. Nurse comes to know the patient as a unique individual , person comes to trust the nurse nurse provides care helps patient identify resolves/adapts to health problems.
Types of communication written or spoken words , choice of words reflect age, education, developmental level culture, feelings expressed threw tones, pace etc.etc.
Characteristics, simple brief, clear, well timed relevant, adaptable credible no verbal use of gestures, expressions, behaviors , body language, 85% is less verbal communication, valid interpretation, must be aware of personal style, physical appearance, posture, gait, facial expressions, gestures, touch, writing.To Look and Listen is the Most important moves a person could have.
When a message is sent from a person to another person a communication is being done. But the message its self-doesn't contain meaning. To understand one another you and your receiver must share similar meanings for words, gestures, tones of voice as well.The meaning exists in your mind and the receivers.The world contantly changes all things even speech. No one has a perecption of any one person As we live our minds absorbs our experiences in unique and personal ways. Any one who has had same experiences as you or I will not have an identical mind image or thoughts of this later the same.As senders we choose the details that seem important and focus our attention on the most relevant and general. As a reciver we try to fit new details into our existing patterns.If we dislike it we discard it or forget it.
Filtering is screeing out before a message is passed on to someone else, In a business is filtered by secetaries, assistants, receptionists, answering manchines, etc.etc. To over come filtering barriers try to eliminate as many intermediaries as possible and decrease distortion by condensing message info to the bare essentials.
When you talk you let all people know what cluture you stem fromBarriers exist because words can be interpreted in more than one way! Language is an arbitrary code that depends on shared definitions, but there's a limit to how completely any of us share the same meaning for a given word. To over come language barriers, use the most specific and accurate words possible. Always try to use words your audience will understand. Increase the accurancyof your message, by useing language that describes rather than evaluates and by presenting observable facts, events, and circumstances.
The most common Barrier is lack of good ATTENTION!!! on both parties part…We all let the mind have its own space from time to time (wander)When some one is speaking and you are not tuned into the session hard for you to understand or has no bearing for you ITS a FACT people don't Listen very Well.So Many Barriers do pop up amoung all people.Paraphase what you did understand try to see how others took what was just said ask questions if need be and don't jump to any conclusions, Then listen again with out interrupting.
Every message contains both a content meaning which deals with the subject of the message and a relationship meaning which suggest the nature of the interaction between sender and receiver. Communication can break down when the reciver reacts negatively to either of these meanings. You may have to deal with people when you become upset or they are upset when either is going crazy things don't seem to be said right and some are harsh words that most regret later ever saying.So this all falls under mis under standing Then emotional barriers can play a huge part as well have to try to control these.Most imporant is to be alert to the potential for Misunderstood Emotional messages.
Difference in back grounds can and is the hardest communication barriers to over come. Age, Education, Gender, Social Status, Economic Position, Cultural back grounds, Temperament, Health, Beauty, Popularity, Religion,Political belief and even a passing mood can all separate a person from another and make understanding difficult
Personalities and perceptions Don't always assume that behaviors mean the same thing to everyone.
Make sense for you???

You should apply it to any situation that requires negotiation of different viewpoints, to conflict resolution, to any task that requires team work and division of labor, etc.
It's all about balance. If you're working in a cross cultural setting, you should be sensible and reasonable enough to not force your value system onto your co-workers (they'll resent you and boicott you for it). I think the best thing to do when you're starting out is to keep your eyes and ears open, and learn the organization's culture to see how you fit into it.

Long distance relationship communication?

Posted by: admin | Comments (4)

I am currently in a long distance relationship, and a lot of the communication is obviously done over the computer or the phone… so in the middle of the conversation its just like the conversation dies. (this doesnt happen in person) I have nothing to say, and nor does he. Because we are so far apart, I think it’s really important to communicate… but what do we talk about when its just one of those dot dot dot moments?

man i hate this online talking relationship business.

expect a lot of stress and agony with this msn online talk.

you shouldn’t worry too much though, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. At the end of the day as long as your still together and talking it doesn’t matter..
Why don’t you send some things through the post? That would add to the excitment. Like surprises, gifts etc… even if it’s something little, it doesn’t matter because it’s something to think about and exciting! I do this sometimes. just send each other things so when your both online next you can talk about the stuff you recieved in the post amongst other general things you talk to oneanother about.
Phone eachother too..

Just don’t thing too much about this online talk business. it can be stressful but try not to read too much into it.. it’s very different than talking in person. remember people can act a lot different when talking online than in person. They are not as talkative online..

don’t worry. just chillax.
