I don't think I ever heard anyone playing beyond maybe a minute.

If I never hear it again would be too soon.

It is impossible to pick one, but if I had to get it down to two: the original Layla, and Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.

OR,

Jesse Winchester The Brand New Tennessee Waltz, Bruce Cockburn If I Had A Rocket Launcher

Sure dating myself...
