Fishmans "Long Season" (41:31 off 98.12.28)
The Necks "Hanging Gardens" (60:30 off Hanging Gardens) Swans "The Beggar Lover (Three)" (43:51, The Beggar) Originally I was going to make this 35 minutes up and include Boris performing flood (live) but then thought I would rather stick to 40 minute plus ones and do another poll later of 30 minute plus releases. I love all three that I mentioned. I adore that Fishmans and yet still it would be so hard for me to not choose The Necks, and the Swans is terrific for my tastes, and I make no bones about my love for Swans. Each is masterful for me. Feel free to mention your own choices, please try to offer youtube links or embeds. To embed use the code after v= and add tube tags around it with no spaces, and no time stamps or other info. For instance, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f91bDvTPKIU I take f91bDvTPKIU and add to it with (with no spaces), [ tube]f91bDvTPKIU[/ tube] oh, and feel free to vote for any of the options with limited familiarity (maybe just mention that in a post as it helps to know where people are coming from).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

The Necks. It's the one I'm most familiar with, and it's probably the album I return to most of the twentyish Necks albums in my collection (along with Drive By).

Hanging Gardens (it's magical. The hour just sort of disappears)
Swans "The Beggar Lover (Three) - also (darkly) magical, in a completely different way. "Long Season" - I've only heard it once, but enjoyed it and will listen again. |

All three are magical to me. The 1998 live concert version I listed is my favourite rendition of "Long Season". here is is without video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tz4xEyx0R0
And Hanging Gardens is definitely what I have listened to by The Necks the most (and is what got me into The Necks). Wonderful. I still only have heard a handful of The Necks albums. |

I agree, these are three really wonderful tracks and make for some very well spent 145 minutes. I sometimes vote for one that doesn't have votes yet when there are several candidates, but right now my intuition says Necks so loudly that for once I will make its lead even bigger.

It's my preferred version, at least between the two lives I know well and the studio album. Something I like about Fishmans is that apparently every live version sounds different (every one I have heard does have significant differences), and they would improvise and evolve the songs for live performances. I love all three tracks, obviously, and will give it a vote just because it is the one of these I have listened to the most this year and the superb hanging gardens has three (I expected that to be the clear favourite of my choices)
I never expected this to be neck-and-neck race. ;)
Here is the embed for anyone who might not know it and be interested. I did not know that. Out of curiosity, was it released as the one one track on the studio album (or a version) or split up into parts as separate tracks? I was looking it up and saw it as 12 parts, whereas I was thinking of ones where it was released as one track. I originally wrote a more explanatory first post. No big deal either way. On Fishmans Long Season studio album, it was released as five untitled tracks, but it is released on live albums as one track (the continuous live performances of the piece were not split up for the live releases).
