When I went to college in the seventies, the student club had parties every Saturday. The two favorite "long" songs were "In A Gadda Da Vida" and Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water". I very much preferred the latter.

That's  one I would  have pegged at at least just over 3:00... AWESOME.  Almost in the Punk realm under 2:00 @ 2:28!
