Some of the '75 Ramblers ran for around 15 minutes. Check out 7/13/75.

Wouldn't it be the 20 minute SFTD in Hyde Park '69?

I remember a friend in college had a bootleg album that had a song (I believe it was Midnight Rambler (?)) that played the entire side of the album; around 20 minutes. Boy, did we wear that album out in the late 70's- good times!

Some 1975 versions of You Cant Always Get What You Want come close to 15 minutes long.

I Agree with the Hyde Park Sympathy being the longest of all.

Seems like Gazza should have this answer in his database somewhere.

It would indeed. Think its about 18-19 mins?

No version of 'Midnight Rambler' was ever as long as that. The '75 versions were usually the longest, occasionally around 15 minutes...

Sorting by time turned up this top-5 for me:
18:54 - Sympathy for the Devil [live: 1969.07.05]
17:50 - Miss You [1978 tour rehearsal]
14:48 - Summertime Blues [1978 tour rehearsal]
14:47 - You Can't Always Get What You Want [live: 1975.07.11]
14:10 - Midnight Rambler [live: 1975.07.11]

I also noticed 3 studio tracks that are longer than GH, though it should still be considered the longest official studio track:
13:34 - Saint of Me [Deep Dish Grunge Garage Remix Parts 1 & 2]
12:54 - Too Much Blood [dance version]
11:36 - I Don't Know the Reason Why (aka Hillside Blues) [unreleased]
11:13 - Going Home

'Invitation' from the Dirty Work sessions with Bobby Womack and Don Covay clocks in at over 15 and a half minutes (even over 16 mins on one or two boots, although its the same take..maybe it plays too slow, I dont know)

Thats the longest studio song I know of (ie, excluding rehearsals, etc)
You got it made' on 'Voodoo Stew' is timed at 17:17 but most of that consists of Keith and Ronnie listening to a playback.

Brings up another interesting question; What's the longest concert they've played?

The 1989 North American Steel Wheels leg featured the longest shows.

The PPV in Atlantic City clocked in at around 160 minutes, I think, but the opening night of the tour in Philadelphia (31/8/89) was the longest show theyve ever played as far as I know. Think it must be close to 170 minutes - and there was also a few minutes of no music after the sound system blew during 'Shattered'.

Knebworth '76 featured the most songs of any show (30, I think - counting the brief snippet of 'Country Honk') but the show 'only' ran for around two and a half hours.

The longest shows on a tour tend to be at the start before they figure out what (in their eyes) works and what doesnt, and then they trim it down a bit.
