How strange - noone's mentioned Caravan's epic side 2 to "In the Land of Grey and Pink", Nine Feet Underground. That would be in my top very 5 long tracks (over 20 mins) along with Supper's Ready, Eruption, Hamburger Concerto and Scheherazade.

Also, Midnight Mushrumps, all 4 parts of Red Queen to Gryphon Three (OK, 3 are just short of 10 minutes actually) and (Ein Klein) Heldenleben by Gryphon are all excellent.
