I'm listening to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the music channel

I always thought drum solos suck anyway and that one in particular literally defines the word interminable...

I don't recall there being two different versions of In-a-Gadda, but I do know the live version of Space Truckin' by Deep Purple (20:02) has a brutally long drum solo in it, are you sure you're not thinking of that?

No, I don't think I've ever heard that Deep Puple song. More I think about it, I'm sure it was a live version of In-A-Gadda I once heard on the radio, maybe on on of those King Buscuit Flower Hour type shows. I clearly remember that solo and thinking this must be a test of the limits of my endurance...
