OK, 15 minute+
0) Beethoven's 9th, by the Academy of Ancient Music at St. Martin in the Fields.
1) Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (Whole LP)
2) Yes - Close to the Edge (18:50)
3) Jethro Tull - Baker St. Muse (16:23, I think)
4) Frank Zappa - The Torture Never Stops (17+ minutes on You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol 1)
5) Dweezil Zappa - My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama (17½ minutes on Automatic, I think.)
Well that's 5 (plus a bit of the old Lugwig Van), but let me throw out a few more in case anyone wants to track them down and verify:
The Allman Brothers: Mountain Jam is over 20 minutes long on Eat a Peach, and I'm sure there is at least one live version of another of their songs, probably Elizabeth Reed or Jessica, or Whippin Post, on one of the live Fillmore CDs.
The Grateful Dead - Have put together some mind bendingly long jams in their time, and I'm sure at least one of the better ones - probably a "That's it for the Other One" or a "Terrapin Station" has made it onto a commercially available disc.
Phish - I know I have heard them play a "Stash" that was over 20 minutes long, at Nissan Pavillion in the mid 90s.
Arlo Guthrie - Isn't Alice's Restaurant over 15?
