Thank you; "orchestral suite" was the missing term I was wracking my brain for.
And, yeah. It bugs me when they do it to "Thick is a Brick", though Tull DID do a special cut of that for radio play. I've heard the radio version of "The Wall" far more often than I've heard the album.
I think one reason it got the AUUGH reaction was that part of my brain was thinking, "gosh, nobody EVER plays 2112 on the radio."
Oh, and a MUCH better metaphor: it was like just playing the "Galileo" parts of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
