Sorry, my bad. Blame it on late night and whiskey.

Southern Rock genre has many long tracks.
Gov't Mule is the best example - most of these guys have been into Jam rock - and hence the long track durations.

 

[Bloom@83]

Some good suggestions above.
The ‘Mountain Jam’ live track from Allman Brother’s Eat a Peach. At over 25 mins , it covers entire side of an LP.
Also , the Freebird live version from LS’ One More From the Road LP.

if you go to youtube and type - Rock ballads or Glam Metal ballads, you'll find numerous playlists
similarly if you repeat this on google, you'll get exhaustive lists
If one is into rock ballads, one cannot afford to miss Glam Metal ballads, they just have so many hooks
Assumption: you like your ballads to be very dramatic, with a build up and grand finale, sandwiched with a ripping guitar solo

Long jams (eg. Grateful Dead , Allman Brothers Band ) are certainly good listening when one is in the mood for them.
The long songs of Dylan , where the duration is sustained by some stellar songwriting also have their appeal.
I prefer the latter , though meaningful ( subjective remark ) songs of this type are quite rare.

 

[samparikh]

There is a live version of Pink Floyd's Echoes in the David Gilmour Live at Gdansk album.

 

[samparikh]

All of these on Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won :
Stairway To Heaven
Dazed and Confused
Moby Dick
Whole Lotta Love

Thanks for suggestions ..
I find live versions of some songs quite interesting where they have extended instrumental jams.
May be it is not planned..
