I believe Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" rambled on for over 10 minutes.

"Goin' Home" by the Stones was a very structured song for the first 4 minutes or so, (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse) followed by a blues jam complete with Mick trying his best at improvised singing.  Not a "loud" song at all, it was actually very good and clocked in at 11:35.  Pity that the band never tried to do anything like it again, it was one of the many high points on their Aftermath album.

I wonder if any of the longer pieces you mention, in terms of length, inspired proto-prog bands to write epics like the 17 minutes long "In Held Twas In I" by Procol Harum. What do you think?

Did Pink Floyd find inspiration in any of these bands to stretch out their songs? Was it the norm at the time ('66-'67) in the UFO Club to play long pieces?

BTW, I have made a small investigation (see other thread on "P Floyd & Tonight lets all make love...") and found that Pink Floyd's "Nick's Boogie" probably was lost in the vaults until the 90's and and not released on the 1967 or 1968 (?) soundtrack to "Tonite let's all make love in London". Also, there might have been two soundtracks, one with an excerpt of "Interstellar Overdrive", another with a full length version. The latter soundtrack seems to be "Tonite let's all make love in London...Plus".
