    Comfortably Numb.....Floyd....(Pulse Live Version).
    The House of The Rising Sun.......The Animals.
    Starship Trooper......Yes.
    Kashmir......Zeppelin.
    Stationary Traveller.....Camel......Pressure Points (Live Hammersmith Odeon version).
    A Special mention for......Summer Breeze....The Isley Brothers.....(Album version ONLY, which includes Ernie’s amazing guitar solo)!
    i would have chosen House of the Rising Sun, but it's under 6 mins.
    Same reason I had to ditch Gimme Shelter, Moonlight Mile, Shangri La, Lovely on the Water & others
    Is it really.......I thought the original version was about 8 mins?

    Probably seemed like it at the time, as back then many of the hits of the day were coming in at under 2 minutes!
    I think HOTRS may have been the first to break the 4 minutes barrier.
