Any favourite bits of music that you consider too short

You know the sort of thing, a piece (in whole or part) that you just wish would carry on for a few more minutes/hours/days etc

Can I start the ball rolling with the middle guitar solo on Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" (the one start starts about 2mins in)?

Anyone got any other faves they'd like to offer?
I\'ve got a really witty sign-off but someone else is using it

    ...ah, but it is longer than you realise - well, according to Bill Bailey, that is, who does an entertaining spoof version. :)

    This post is ironic! I love the KoL track 'Cold desert', (the whole album is brilliant), and kept restarting it on my MP3 when it ended,wishing it was longer. Recently ,I happened to be looking at the MP3 screen and saw the track length indicator wasn't near the end. Having kept it running I found the track comes back in. Lovely.

    Neil Young - Cortez the Killer
    I love this song, it says on wikipedia that when they were recording the track originally, the recording console went dead before they could finish, and they never bothered doing it after.
    Mind you the song still lasts around seven and a half minutes.

    Morricone's - Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission. At a little over two and a bit minutes it's a sin for it to be that short. A beautiful piece.

    All along the watchtower.

    To me it sounds like Bob just went off and got stoned rather than finish the song

    "Tre sbirri" aka the Te Deum at the end of Act 1 of Tosca. You may have seen Bryn Terfel do this bit at the Last Night of the Proms this year. Extraordinarily dramatic.

    The big lad is singing Tosca next year at the RoH and I can't wait.
