Long Songs ...

[Cowtown]

Let's see what ya got. Gotta be at least 4 minutes. And no, you don't get to post Layla, because everyone knows it's the absolute best "Long Song." Or, "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida." I've got a hundred ideas, but it's not about me. Let's see what you can come up with to top this:

Dire Straits: Telegraph Road. For I'm here to tell you, and although I dearly love Eric Clapton, there isn't a better guitar player out there than Mark Knopfler. Period.

MacArthur Park...maybe it just seemed long.

 

[Cowtown]

And since I've already invoked Eric Clapton, let's try this one. Clapton can be hit and miss; his hits are fabulous, his misses less so. But this is outright spectacular.

Kashmir

Can I just say all of Rush's songs? La Villa Strangiato comes immediately to mind though but I'm in an airport so I can't link.

Sure, why not?

Kashmir

Only Zep song ever allowed in a movie (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) as a special favor to Cameron Crowe. Mike Myers used the intro to Stairway in the first release of Wayne's World without permission but it ended up getting scrambled in later releases. And speaking of which:

He references an album, but plays a different Zep album and Kashmir, around 1:15
A little error in the movie.

 

[tee1222]

Side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV, but Kashmir is on Physical Graffiti.

It was on purpose, no error.
"However, while Crowe was able to score a big coup by getting Led Zeppelin to agree to let him use A song in the film, they would NOT let him use any song from Led Zeppelin IV (their fourth album to be self-titled)."
Good stuff!

They allowed the use of Immigrant Song in Jack Black's School of Rock.

I stopped watching movies after Pulp Fiction came out. I figured nothing would ever top that. No, j/k I didn't know about the School of Rock credit.

{Song: Ivory Gate of Dreams} (this is faster the studio is 23+minutes)


Full disclosure here since I think the statue of limitations is up for it, I totally plagiarized this for the poetry section of 12th Grade English. The whole song is about the seconds of waking up from a dream and realizing where you are.

Thank God Al Gore had not invented the internet yet.

Great thread Cowtown, I would have said seven minutes for length and I will refrain from any jam by the Dead, Phish, or moe

But I will try to post live versions
