I refer to it as "Joni symphony #3", with Judgement & Down To You being #'s 1 & 2 respectively. The first time I heard it was when my local AOR station in Raleigh played it as a feature album so I was listening in my bed with headphones. A nice way to listen to DJRD I'd add. Of course I was totally sucked in with the Overture/Cotton Avenue and when PP came on it was blowing my mind! It went on for 16+ minutes, an entire album side. Had no idea what the song was about but really enjoyed the sonics - the combination of Joni's piano and Jaco's bass - ecstasy. It was WAAAAAY later when I noticed the "unsung" lyrics inside the record jacket. Wonder if they were ever intended to be sung or if they were in fact sung, recorded and then discarded. The dream sequence, if you will. Most of the song plays like a dream, in fact. And the payoff is the musical jam at the very end. I'm not always in the mood for it - it requires some intense participation on the listener's part - but when I am it's a mesmerizing thing.
