Billy Joel, “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” — is seven and a half minutes long enough?
The “medley” on side two of Abbey Road – 16 minutes.
This and Shine On… were the two PF songs I first thought of, reading the OP. Allman Brothers already got mentioned.
But I don’t think Television has. Marquee Moon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbunmCbTBA
Or Sonic Youth, The Diamond Sea: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v_4e8Tq-CKQ
King Crimson’s Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Parts I & II combined are about 20:30.
Great choice. I can’t believe i didn’t think of this one myself.
The Messiah Will Come Again, Roy Buchanan
Loan Me A Dime, Boz Scaggs
Iron Maiden has some great ones from their newer albums. “The Red and The Black,” “When The Wild Wind Blows,” and “For the Greater Good of God” are probably my favorites. “Sunset on the Golden Age” by Alestorm and “Forevermore” by Whitesnake come to mind too.
ELO - “Kuiama” from ELO 2. There are other longish songs on that album, including, “Roll Over Beethoven.”
Marquee Moon - Television. I could still listen to that song multiple times per day.
Same.
Also Stereolab - Jenny Ondioline.
I love and hate these threads. I love them for the occasional great new song I learn about, or am reminded of, but I hate them because there are so few replys to acknowledge or talk about anything. Well, I too love this the live version of, '24 Hours at a Time". It’s an imperfect masterpiece. With the honking, cracking sax, the violin volume at the beginning of the solo, etc, it’s the furthest thing from perfection, but yet it’s so full of energy and joy. Just a FUN jam.
Bonus points to you for suggesting two such different songs. Variety. . .life.
I don’t know if they did any shows together but it was always cool when Jon & Vangelis’ “The Friends of Mr. Cairo” came on the radio around 2 in the morning.

[/QUOTE]Great 18-minute song that never gets boring or tiresome.
Father, love, do you work, do you work for Mother?

Came here to mention those two (heh - last week my avatar was the latter)
Death’s Death Scavenger of Human Sorrow (Ok - didn’t even make the seven minute mark - sue me. Listening to it, though, it’s definitely epic enough to qualify. Instrumentally exquisite.)
Genesis - Dancing With the Moonlit Knight (live)
Ah, and my favourite ever ever loooooong number - King Crimson’s Fracture (crank headphones!)
Zappa- “Willie the Pimp” and “The Gumbo Variations”.
Captain Beefheart- “25th Century Quaker”
“Won’t Get Fooled Again:”, even though I’ve heard it a jilion times
Dylan- “Desolation Row”
“Achilles Last Stand”
Ninja’d! But what a song, 11 minutes packed with words, not one wasted. And the beautiful second guitar of which I’m still not sure if it was played by Bruce Langhorn, Charlie McCoy or someone other. The sources are contradictory.
REO Speedwagon – 157 Riverside Avenue
The live version with the “conversation” between Kevin Cronin’s vocals and the guitarist’s riffs.
My hair still stands up every time I hear the ending of Nightwish’s live Ghost Love Scoreperformance from 2012 in Buenos Aires, recorded a couple months after Floor Jansen took over the lead vocal job.
