String Cheese played a one song set. It was 75 minutes.

Wow that’s a long ass song. Mushrooms would be my guess.

That beats the 46 minute Playing in the Band the GD did back on 5-21-74 and the 59 minute Runaway Jim Phish did on 11-29-97.

As for playing 75 minutes straight, many rock bands play only one set per night and they are often 75 minute sets or longer.   

A bit of clarification is needed as to what constitutes a "break." 

A set break? 

A pause between songs?

Yeah, what's a "break"???

Whatever one may think of Phish, I think Big Cypress has anything else beat.

And likely always will.

Go Phish!

So what was the longest the GD played without stopping (multiple songs)?

>>>A bit of clarification is needed as to what constitutes a "break." 

Without stopping. So it could be ten songs strung together or one long 75 minute song but not ending<<<

I have played loops for nearly an hour ... sometimes "the goods" arrive after 20 minutes, sometimes not at all

one can never tell

Phil, Beacon 2003 played an entire set (75 minutes) without stopping.

75 mins usually wears me out - break time - or gig over

I get together with friends for jam heavy Sunday afternoon music. We routinely beat the shit out of the key of E for an hour. Safety meeting, shoe gaze, the faster you go the rounder we get. No problem.

Thank you for the clarification. Being a Bruce Springsteen fan if you just meant single set shows, I could have mentioned over 20 that clocked in from 3/12 to 4+ hours with no set break but there were pauses in between some of the songs. 

I've seen parts of some experimental pieces that have stretch with no break for up to 2 days but one really wouldn't consider it songs...more like background.

The longest I've seen anyone combine distinct songs together into a whole was also at the longest show I've ever attended and it may surprise you on who it was. I attended one show at Starland Ballroom in New Jersey by P-Funk back when they had over 20 musicians with them and the stage was being managed like hockey lines. Musicians would come on stage while others left the stage during songs for just over 5 hours. It was something else. The longest stretch of songs with no break clocked in at over 2 hours. Not sure exactly how much over but it was probably at least 10 mins. I was lost in the funk. I would love to see something like that for George Clinton's last show bringing back members from various line ups.

Yep.

Me too.

I saw them do that NYE '94 at the Warner Theater.

It was a long night, but soooooo fun.
