jams you wish weren't faded out?

what are some of your favorite jams into the fadeout?

in other words, songs that had some sweet jamming that probably went well past where the (studio version of the) song ends.

two that spring to mind:

- Magical Mystery Tour / Beatles
some tasty psychedelia going on here, cascading piano with some haunting bass that i'm imagining went on for several minutes but is unceremoniously cut short.

- Glamour Profession / Steely Dan
this one is actually faded really slowly so there's a good minute+ of [i think Larry Carlton?] cutting loose but it sounds like they're probably just wailing for several more minutes.

i'm sure there's many others...

Deacon Blues - Steely Dan. Pete Christlieb is still blowing the coolest stuff when it fades.

Watching the Detectives - Elvis Costello. Cool groove, short song.

"Ramble On" is my top pick.

I love the solo that Frank Zappa plays on the end of "Zoot Allures", wish it would've kept going.

There's a song called "A Venture" on The YES Album, and at the very end Steve Howe goes into a killer sounding solo, would like to have heard more.

Those are the first two to come to my mind.

The end of "Mission" from Rush's "Hold Your Fire" album fades out with the most epic soloing from Alex Lifeson, and it's incredible. When I saw them live they extended the ending before giving it a propler "live" finish. Absolutely amazing.

To second a rush tune, how about "different Strings" from permanent waves? the song in itself is beautifully crafted. and if you listen closley the electric parts that alex plays build and build. the outro solo is simply, .. awesome, with the delays and the smooth creamyness of his tone. sighs. I was just digesting that song last week, listening over and over again. anyway, thats my vote. I always imagined him playing his gibson 355 on that one, but i read somewhere that he used his recent aquired black strat on that tune. cool things

More Steely Dan-
"FM"

Boz Scaggs' "Harbor Lights" (from Silk Degrees w/ the Toto rhythm section)...IIRC, the ending groove changes to a quasi-Latin feel, gets cookin' & then out.

CSNY - woodstock.

if you listen at the end they really start to cook into a great jam as it fades out. I want to hear it!

I wish Comfortably Numb didn't fade out, i'm sure Pink Floyd could of come up with a cool ending or transition into the next song.

Every time I hear that guitar solo start (which starts when the fade is already 30dB down, there's only a measure or two audible) I think to myself "what could possibly have happened that made them think 'uh-oh, we'd better fade out now'?" Two seconds later Squire plays a wrong note and Bruford throws his sticks down in disgust?

But yeah, I love the whole piano/bass/drums linear antiphonal skronk jam preceeding the guitar, and for those two audible measures Howe sounds like he's channelling McLaughlin, Fripp, and Holdsworth all at once.
