Not sure, but Echoes from Pink Floyd clocks in at about 24 minutes.
Does it matter if the composition emcompasses more than one track? If not then the second Disc from Dream Theaters Six degrees of inner turbulance is about 45 minutes long. And the Triad of Reflection/Disposition/Triad on Tools Lateralus is about 25 minutes too.

The longest I can think of that I own on album are:
Mountain Jam" by Allman Bros. (doesn't really count because it's a live jam), 34 mins.
The already mentioned " Blue Room" by the Orb.
"Saturn Returnz" by Goldie (which sucks), over 60 mins.
"Time to Melt" by Lard (35 mins)
The above brings to mind the most annoying long song of all time: "Let's Talk Physical" by Revolting Cocks. 12 minutes of a distored drum beat and a guy yelling "TALK" into a distored mic...over and over. Argh.

Someone is making a documentary about some musicians who are going to perform a 25 HOUR song. Unfortunately all the details flew out of my head. There is going to be a 25 hour cut of the film and also a more maneagable length cut for theatrical release.

think about it.. 90 minutes is a set. it's a long set, actually...
the only time it would have even been possible would have been big cypress, and it definitely wasn there.
hmm... maybe it was at a ween show?

Bust - Yeah, I've never heard of a 90 minute Roses are Free either. The one at Big Cypress was 40-45 minutes long though (I think). Longest Phish jam I've ever seen was Star Lake Amphitheater in 1998...Runaway Jim was 40-45 minutes long.

If you don't consider John Cage "classical":
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2728595.stm

The first notes in the longest and slowest piece of music in history, designed to go on for 639 years, are being played on a German church organ on Wednesday.
The three notes, which will last for a year-and-a-half, are just the start of the piece, called As Slow As Possible.
Composed by late avant-garde composer John Cage, who died in 1992, the performance has already been going for 17 months - although all that has been heard so far is the sound of the organ's bellows being inflated.
We started discussing - what is as slow as possible for the organ?
The music will be played in Halberstadt, a small town renowned for its ancient organs in central Germany.
It was originally a 20-minute piece for piano, but a group of musicians and philosophers decided to take the title literally and work out how long the longest possible piece of music could last.
They settled on 639 years because the Halberstadt organ was 639 years old in the year 2000.
"We started discussing - what is as slow as possible for the organ?" Swedish composer and organist Hans-Ola Ericsson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"We, a group of theologians, musicologists, philosophers, composers and organists, met during a couple of years solely to discuss this question. It was rather wonderful to have one topic to discuss at length."
Hopefully the aesthetics and the ideas of John Cage will manage to survive
"We came up with the answer that the piece could last for the duration of the organ - that is the lifetime of an organ."
Mr Ericsson said John Cage would have liked what they had done with it.
"It's a sound that we give to the future to take care of, and hopefully the aesthetics and the ideas of John Cage will manage to survive."
The first note is due to be struck at 1800 local time (1700 GMT) on Wednesday.
The performance follows a legal case in which composer Mike Batt was forced to pay a six-figure sum to Cage's publishers, who accused him of plagiarising a silent piece of music.

I'm actually listening to Big Cypress right now, I got it off gdlive.com and this one is 35:35.
He could have been exaggerating.
