I know it depends of the artist/group,their music,etc,but do you like those kind of songs??? Or do you prefer something about 3,4 minutes that blows your mind...I must say Midnight Rambler (obviously live version) and Free Bird are the best What`s your opinion and your favorites... |

One of the original long songs was back on Aftermath....Goin Home...They can be a tad tedious but some when in the right mood are really good...High Tide Green Grass by Outlaws is another good one...Hendrix Voodoochile etc...Shine On You Crazy Diamond.... |

One of the all time long songs "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" in the late 60's was tedious, it took up a whole side on a record, Grateful Dead stuff I didn't like, mainly because they'd be stoned & make it up as they went along, like each song was 20 minutes.
But there are a lot of long songs I love, as long as their interesting, like the Stones, the songs already mentioned too, a long song has to hold my interest. |

Fuck back in the 70's the Allmans would take 10 minutes just finishing a song...that long guitar drone and double drum beat never wanted to end.... |

I'll never forget being at a James Gang concert back in '71 I believe, at Massey Hall, here in Toronto, there was this folk singer singing this song (this was before the song was well 'known)& he got booed of the stage, I remember this guy yelling out "Get the Fuck of the stage" & I remember him going on about American Pie while singing, but all the people there were waiting for The James Gang, this was when Joe Walsh was in the band. |

LOL. When I went back to college in 85, I was 33 at the time, I spent a whole night alone in a dorm room with an 18 year old coed beautiful young lady....whom I was hoping to fuck...I mean have sex with. Anyway we drank plenty of wine and smoked plenty of weed and listened to that song all night. She kept playing that song over and over again, commenting on how great it was. I never got laid that night but I did kinda memorize the lyrics to that song. |

That happened was 20 years ago. But I remenber it because it kind of went down the way I've just described. Every time I hear that American Pie song I think about that night. I had just got back from living abroad for five years and decided to go back to school. Alot of those "kids" I went to school with then are still friends today. |

Listening to that song over and over again would be enough to make me go limp. |

A good rock and roll song should not take more than 4 min to make the point/riff.
I gets losts in these long songs, IE The Dead.
Especially w/ a 30 second attention span you know... |

I've taken better drugs, but 20 minutes of the Dead doing "Not Fade Away" does nothing for me, if I was on LSD 25, I would certainly be on a bad trip! & I've taken it, but Thank God! I wasn't listening to the Dead! the Jefferson Airplane I could take, simply because they were very talented musicians, listen to their Bass player, Jack Cassidy, they were a great psychedelic band, but the Dead! they were garbage. |

I interveiwed Greg Allman a few years ago. Nice guy,horrible interview. He was a "yes" and "no" kind of interview. Not very verbose to say the least. Hey, it happens on occassion. I am a very good interviewer if I do say so myself, but sometimes these guys just ain't feelin' it.
That was the case with Greg. I was at my wits end so I just tossed out the fact that The Allman Brothers have a song on Eat A Peach that is longer than an episode of Gilligan's Island. "So Greg how's it feel it to know that a person can sit through an entire episode of Gilligan's Island and watch the professor make a radio out of coconuts, and watch the Skipper give his "little buddy" a back rub before Mountain Jam ends?"
Well that question changed his whole demeanor! He just started laughing his ass off. "Hell, I ain't ever even thought of it in that way." I told him that minus commercials GI clocked in at just under 23 minutes and that Mountain Jam was over 30 minutes. "You should'a heard it when we palyed it live back in the day. We really stretched it out! Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!"
I met him backstage about a year after that interview and reminded him of that question. He just looked at me smiled and said the question gave him a whole new perspective on the song and it had him laughing for days afterwards. It made my day to know that such a stupid question would resonate with a guy that I have always admired.
As for the song? I tend to press skip. I never liked the original Donovan tune and the Bros. version is only marginally better, but after 10 or 12 minutes it gets tiresome.
