Elton John's performance at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 18 May 1974 at a Children's Benefit Concert attended by Princess Margaret (Queen Elizabeth's sister). Some songs from this concert were released in 1976 on the live album "Here and There" which featured one side of songs recorded at this Royal Festival Hall concert, and on the second side tracks recorded at the Thanksgiving Concert at Madison Square Garden, New York that also in 1974. This track was not included on the original album, but was added to the expanded version when the album was remastered and released on a double disc CD set in 1995.

"Take Me to the Pilot" comes from the 1970 album "Elton John."
