The album version of "Echoes" has a duration of twenty-three minutes. The "Meddle" sessions began with an experiment that resulted in an opening clang. After a few plinks, David Gilmour's slide guitar gradually enters the mix. Gilmour and Roger Waters harmonise while playing a riff. Subsequently, David Gilmour plays a guitar solo before reprising the same riff for the following ingenious funk-tinged psychedelic rock jam. 



One of the Floyd boots I have has a version of "Embryo" that's close to 25 minutes long. They must not have stretched it out that long very often or maybe it was only on one tour, because it's the only boot with a version so long. It's good! Although its length relies less on jamming than on extensive chorus-repetition. But there's jamming too.
The best live version of "Echoes" to these ears is from the BBC Radio Session on September 30, 1971, which clocks in at 26 and a half minutes. What a jam! It's on the official box set "The Early Years 1965–1972."

My favorite version of "Echoes" live is from "Remember That Night":
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas

I love David Gilmour's 25 and a half minute long version of "Echoes" from "Live in Gdańsk".

"To Earth With Love" (23:22) and "Seashore Trees" (21:15) are the two tracks included on the first disc of Swedish psychedelic rock band Spacious Mind's double-LP album "Sleepy Eyes and Butterflies," which was released in 1995. Here's the latter track, a fantastic spacey-psychedelic jam that's creating a tense, time-warping, mesmerising state.

In Germany, the Spacelords were founded in the spring of 2008. Their album "Spaceflowers," released in 2020, is simply incredible. From that album, there's a space-rock jam called "Cosmic Trip" that clocks in at 24 and a half minutes.

I Found a Star on the Ground from the Strobo Trip EP is six hours long and the main reason I feel The Flaming Lips belongs on PA. It's actually rerally great:


-and here's the first twelve hours of the twenty four hour long 7 Skies H3 - but I've only listened to snippets myself:

The German instrumental group Eiliff, which was formed in the late 1960s by Rainer Brüninghaus, Houschäng Nejadepour, Detlev Landmann, Herbert J. Kalveram, and Bill Brown, impressed a German jazz-rock audience with two studio albums that featured sophisticated jamming with keyboards, bass, and guitar, along with some ethnic instruments. 

Their self-titled album (1971), which includes extended jams and intricate grooves, has some amazing electric piano and Hammond organ, wild guitar, and saxophone interplay. These guys jam in a very jazzy, hard-rocking style, occasionally incorporating Far Eastern musical elements. 
"Suite" is an outstanding psychedelic jam that combines powerful keyboards, amazing guitars, and incredibly forceful sax sections. There's a lovely raga humming sitar break in the middle of the song, prior to the band plunging back into a wild, disorganised jazzy rock frenzy. It is more than twenty minutes long.

Having been formed in 1968, the eight-piece Danish band Dr. Dopo Jam had a distinctively late 1960s psychedelic hippy vibe. There are meanderings through jazz-rock synthesis since they also had extended jam sessions that were accentuated by the progressive rock dress of the era. This is an enthralling 25-minute "Opening HELLO" suite from their first record, "Entree," released in 1973. They were able to skillfully incorporate multiple styles into their jam.

"'Last," the third album by kosmische Musik icons Agitation Free, was first released as a posthumous album on Barclay in France in 1976 and featured pieces from 1973 and 1974.
With a duration of 23 minutes, "Looping IV" was recorded live in a Berlin studio in February 1974, taking up the entire flipside. It demonstrates how legendary Berlin's band successfully blended their liquid spacey sections and rocking sections into a fantastic krautrock jam, and this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody who is already aware of Agitation Free's ability to produce their distinct, mystery-drenched soundscapes. This jam deserves an honourable mention since it is a singular work of Berlin School grandeur.

Düde Dürst was a drummer from Krokodil, an ensemble of krautrockers from Switzerland. His solo album (1971) has two side-long, lengthy instrumental tracks with a variety of moods and hues and a krautrock vibe that comes from lovely kosmische jamming. This features a lot of elements and amazing percussion pieces that are truly progressive. 
"Chemical Harvest" is a magnificent improvisation that begins with soulful and psychedelic jazz notes and then descends into a mysterious darkness with unusual instrumentation and atmospheres reminiscent of mantras. The song's structure is mostly based on an extensive drum set. The atmosphere is cinematic, eerie, and ritualistic. A bright, cheerful jazz-rocky instrumental featuring dancing flutes and sweeping piano melodies closes the performance. This 20-minute-long track is the quintessential early 70s krautrock and a no-brainer recommendation for lovers of unorthodox, freely improvised jam.

The pre-Kraftwerk group called Organisation put out this unusual record in 1969, right before Kraftwerk was founded. Actually, when they were broken commercially with this record in the UK and hence dropped by RCA Victor, Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben then went on to form Kraftwerk.
This is an incredibly inventive and enchanting record that defies categorization because it's essentially a fusion of modern music with a strong avant-garde vibe, lots of acoustic instruments, and a faint psychedelic undertone. This music is alchemy—unstructured, deep, and philosophical while still being chilly. It also never lacks passion.
A magnificent organ, a delectable soft ethereal flute, and a variety of percussions combine to create an intriguing blend of daring and innovative electronic experimentation.
This piece that was well ahead of its time, the title track "Tone Float," which took up the full first side and clocks in at about twenty-one minutes, foreshadowed the entire subsequent Krautrock trend; it's indeed a highly inventive piece of krautjam from 1969 that magically still sounds fresh even today.
