What's the longest single continuous music track in your CD/LP/download collection?

I was interested in knowing this because I have just listened to Franz Liszt's "Fantasy and Fugue on 'Ad Nos, Ad Salutarem Undam'" for organ. There are many recordings of this piece (Which, BTW, is an excellent piece of music IMHO), but this was the longest version I've ever heard, clocking in at 36:49 (Essentially half the disc). I don't even know if this is the longest piece of music I own, but it might as well be.

Anyone have something like that in their collection?

I've got lots of dance tracks that are over 100 minutes long, but a more common track that other people may also own is Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno, at 44:18.

Official releases...TweezerFest on Live Phish 18. It's separated into several different tracks, but it's one long jam that approaches 70 minutes. In that time, they go into several different themes (including the Who's "Sparks," Phish's "Makisupa Policeman," Joe Walsh's "Walk Away," and the Breeders' "Cannonball"), but it's just one long song...

If you'll count it, Fates Warning's Pleasant Shade of Gray is mine.

It's around an hour long and is only one song. It is broken up into 12 parts at the request of the record label who thought only 1 track on a CD would piss off people.
