I've been trawling my F50 recordings archive and compiled a list of
the longest track times (ie. any over 10 minutes). All the following
(except the 1976 tracks) are stopwatch timings taken directly from
the Festive Fifty show recordings.
23:50 Orbital Out There Somewhere (47/1996) (after playing this
track, Peel commented that he thought it was probably the longest F50
track he'd played)
23:32 Pink Floyd Echoes (4/1976)
23:07 Grateful Dead Dark Star (Live Dead version)(40/1976)
22:53 Genesis Supper's Ready (31/1976)
20:50 Tortoise Djed (21/1996) (interrupted by Stereolab track)
20:12 Mogwai My Father My King (10/2001) (the Radio 1 emergency
tape cut in on this and played for a few minutes; the Mogwai track
must have kept running in the background during this interruption, as
track time seems about the same as the CD track)
20:10 The Orb Loving You (session track)(10/1990)
18:08 God Speed You Black Emperor! Hung Over as the Oven at Maida
Vale (session track)(21/1999)
17:31 The Orb Blue Room (20/1992) (Peel commented that the full
version of this lasted 39:58 but playing that version would have
played havoc with the scheduling of F50 programs; not sure if the
track he played is another version/mix or just the 38:58 one
cut short)
13:30 Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond (8/1976)
12:09 Orbital The Box (7/1996)
11:22 Bob Dylan Desolation Row (3/1976)
10:57 Mogwai Xmas Steps (2/1998)
10:54 Aereogramme The Unravelling (15/2004)
10:41 Propaganda Dr.Mabuse (31/1984)
10:36 Stereolab and Nurse With Wound Simple Headphone Mind
(14/1997)
10:17 Deep Purple Child in Time (25/1976)
10:04 Sigur Ross Svefn G Englar (47/2000)
10:04 Yes And You and I (50/1976)
I don't have a recording of the 1976 F50 show so the '76 track times
may not be for the versions used in the show.
