Longest Song in Your Library

[kwill]

The longest song in your music library, who is it by and what does it clock in at?

For me it's Phish @ 40min 33sec with YEM From Halloween '95 (Live Phish 14)

Phish holds a lot of my top spots when it comes to running time. My longest non-phish is The Box by Orbital @ 28 min 26 sec.

I'm sure you all can beat those times!

moe. - Fire 32.32 Warts & All Vol.2

[steveternal]

"Cuttin' Class", a bootleg mix by Cut Chemist, clocking in right at 79:58. After that in the digital library comes "Aether" by The Necks, "dlp 1.1" by William Basinski, and "Mukii" by Shakti, each at 63 minutes and change.

In my CD library it would probably be "Surgical Sound Specimens from the Museum of Skin", the sole track on Fantômas' Delirium Cordia, which I think is around 74 minutes.

I have a few really long mixtapes from various DJ's, and also a couple full length concerts that are on just one track. The longest track in general is a full-length Tom Waits concert, at 2:22:13.

The longest single song I have (not a concert, not a continuous DJ mix, and not a comedy bit) is a 23:39 minute-long live version of "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin, which includes a ridiculously long, epic solo by Bonham.

As far as studio recordings go, I've got a song by Skinny Puppy with Genesis P. Orridge (Throbbing Gristle) called "Puppy Gristle" that clocks in at 40:15. I'm sure I've got longer ones, mostly of jazz artists, but I've got tons of bootlegs, so I can't even tell you.

i was listening to this (Bonhams solo) in an elevated state of mind and someone was trashing it, asking why we were listening to it, and "anyone can bang the skins" i nearly choked and died.

^^^I kinda get what your friend is saying. Bonham was a genius drummer more for his innovations in style than any technical precision or virtuosity. It goes a long way to making his live solos something interesting, but I can see why someone wouldn't think it sounds good compared to a Rich or Peart solo, for instance.

I have a Sash/Digweed set seperated into 4 parts and the longest part is 1 hour 10 minutes

as far as one song goes..my top spot goes to the Grateful Dead for their 47 minute version of Dark Star from 5-11-72 followed by a 42 minute version of Saint of Circumstance from Dick's Picks Vol. 13

next two are Phish:
YEM - LivePhish 14 (40:33)
David Bowie - LivePhish 20 (35:41)

My longest is a live Frank Zappa "Billie The Mountain", from Pauley Pavilion, UCLA clocking in at 42:18. The longest studio recording is Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's "Unknown Soldier", 31:08.
