What's the longest song you've ever heard?

I'm just curious as to what the longest songs other TBers have heard...

Some of the longest I've heard are

Boris - Flood (70:32)
Boris - Absolutego (65:34)
Sleep - Dopesmoker (63:31)

Flood might not count though, considering on the album it's broken up into 4 parts, even though it's continually running.

fantomas - delerium cordia

its a one track cd. that annoys the hell out of me, but it at least qualifies as lengthy.

The Allman Brothers Band live version of "Mountain Jam" at almost 34 minutes. The Allman Brothers where, IMHO, the only rock band that could jam for over half an hour without being boring

I don't remember the name of it, but it was at a Grateful Dead show back in the 70's. If my memory serves me, I think that song lasted about a week and a half...

What a great song for a wedding. "I can't live with or without you". "See the thorn twist in your side". "On a bed of nails, she makes me wait". How romantic. LOL!

This one is easy, its by a Band called Rednex out of Sweeden.

The song is called: The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation

I think the entire song is shorter than that title......

back in the 80s I was part of a couple ~2 hours worth of a jam... usually loosely based on 'Sunshine of you Love' and/or 'Rock & Roll'.

MacArthur Park. Seemed like it would never end. Worst song ever written.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Throbbing Gristle. Hint: "24 Hours" is aptly named.
