The Necks Bleed single track improvised 42:10 mins. Improvised in the studio with multiple takes which are then edited together.

Meant to say on Apple Music there’s a live version from 1982 when Pete Kirchner had replaced John Coghlan on drums. They really had got the whole thing off to near perfection by then. This take from ‘84 goes close

Thank you, nice to go back to my younger years.
At our church hall youth club discos in the 70s it was always a Quo song that had the place rocking. They were my dirty secret, so many people mocked because of the 3 chord trick, but in reality Blue For You was their zenith, everything after that disposable.

Damn, I’m quietly sitting here, watching on tablet, listening on EarPods. Five minutes in and my foot goes into spontaneous “foot tapping”.
Great stuff!

Just qualifies…’Percolations - Parts 1 and 2’ from Gazeuse by Gong (1976). This was a great album from the jazz rock incarnation of Gong. Instrumental and percussive!

‘Deadly Nightshade’ and ‘The Ghost of Mayfield Lodge’ from ‘Masques’ by Brand X (1978). Instrumental jazz rock once again. For me this was the last great Brand X studio album.

At first I thought ‘Blimey, that is a long track’. I’m not sure I’ve got 10,000 days left.

Maggot Brain, Funkadelic has already been mentioned, so I thought I’d add to the diversity a little.
One of the greatest Hip-hop records in my view.

Caravan - Nine Feet Underground
Camel - God of Light (couple of variant titles)
Early ‘70s prog from the “Canterbury scene” - over-indulgent noodlings - exactly as it should be 
(OK, so for the pedants among us……Camel were from Guildford, but have been often associated with the “Canterbury scene”)

Nine Feet Underground is none of one of my favourites, I loved Caravan, saw them a few times, the last in London, and oh my, we were in the video of their gig a university hall somewhere between 2001 and 2005. Not very coherant at the moment. It’s on dvd and we have it.
Loved Grey and Pink, and Richard’s nice voice, great band.

This is so far from my usual listening preferences, but I put together a playlist of the 12 epics here that interest me most: It comes in at more than four hours of music!
We’ll see how many I actually play from beginning to end.

So, just the short ones then,
I think we need the playlist.

Where Are You Now My Son? I have this on vinyl - but to my shame never listened until I streamed the album in HD a few weeks ago. Side 1 is Baez on peak form , but the single track on side 2 really hacked certain people off
