Songs with epic instrumental parts

[Alan Stallion]

This is not a thread about instrumental songs.
This is a a thread for songs that have long / epic instrumental parts, which could be a long intro to a song, a long outro, or a long bridge.

Example of epic instrumental intro...

I Will Possess Your Heart - Death Cab For Cutie

4:40 instrumental intro that just builds and builds, apropos for a stalker song.

Example of epic instrumental outro...

Layla - Derek and the Dominos

piano outro kicks in at about 3:08

Fade to Black is probably the greatest guitar outro ever.

Example of epic instrumental bridge...

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

Epic bridge mirrors the intro as in the passage of time, before Daltry's scream and conclusion twist

If you want brilliant guitar that slowly builds and builds until it becomes epic in the end, THIS is your song. I cant think of any song that builds as well as this one.

you like Jane's Addiction? they're in my top 5 favorite bands, if not my favorite ever, i'm always sad they didn't make more music over the years. Perry Farrell once blocked me on twitter, so he's an asshole like you LOL
