QUOTE (about The End): Some versions are more than 20min long. |
As much as this is probably my favourite rock song EVER, I never liked any take of The End taken from a concert (and these are the ones which last over 20 mts, aren't they?). I suppose the original is too perfect for me to do anything else with it...
let me digress for a moment to expand upon BOB1's Pink Floyd statement to mention some of their "modest" songs and list some of these I particularly like.
digressing on, I will mention my absolute number one in the category "modest Pink Floyd": Grantchester Meadows!
This little tune... is a masterpiece!
By the way, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV9AwB-DnoI It's not 10 minutes, but considerably long anyway. What a version! (it's Greantchester Meadows in case you are as reluctant to click links as I usually am ;-))

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper
