At the first Dallas Exchange (in 2001), the late night blues band played a 20 minute song.
If we had know the song was that long, it would not have been such an issue. But, we kept thinking it would end soon, and it just kept going and going and going.
Gawd, I forgot about that. Yeah, we hired them for a blues late night and they thought that meant JUMP BLUES ALL NIGHT.
Eeep.
Lessons learned, lessons learned. Be thankful we couldn't hire Johnny Reno, whose songs run about 8 minutes each.

I don't think I could ever edit anything down, except for competitions. I'd rather not play the song. There are very few 5+ minute songs that I will play out of my book.
Even in a Blues room. Hell, especially in a Blues room.
