1258 Jethro Tull - By Kind Permission Of

I've had this track on my mind, so I figured it would be a nice Friday pick. This is essentially a 10-minute John Evans' keyboard solo with a bit of Ian's flute; it was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in late 1970 and later appeared on their compilation album: Living in the Past. It was one of two songs on the album that were recorded live, the other being Dharma for One; both of these songs together took up an entire side of one of the two records.
Apparently the song got its title, (By Kind Permission Of), from John Evans borrowing sections for the song from some famous classical pieces and for obvious reasons could not procure permission to use them from the original authors. The pieces he used were, I do believe: Claude Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk, Rachmaninov's Prelude in G Sharp Minor, and Beethoven's Sonate #8: Pathétique.
