John Florence, the AM drive DJ on Salt Lake City's KRCL, occasionally rolls out this one!

Good question -- last time he played it I got to work before it ended. I'm guessing probably not but he DID play a lot more than the usual radio edit.

Yah there’s the 4 minute version and another one that’s like 10 minutes. Such a great song.

But you never EVER hear "A Passion Play" on the radio.

"Night on Bald Mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky. But wait that's a classical piece and it will get played on a classical radio program regardless of length. Now why is that? Less commercial restrictions? Longer attention span of the listener? Expectations of schedulers? Why?

I was thinking about Animals when I made this post, but didn't mention it because I don't remember hearing any of the songs on the "radio," or maybe Pigs On The Wing once or twice. One of the greatest albums, though--of ANY band.

When "Animals" came out, "POTW part 1" into "Dogs" was standard rock radio fare. I was there. And yeah, awesome album.
