Best "Outro" of a Song?

Bellycaster

Inspired by listening to this ( for the 10000000000000th time)

Good idea for a thread though.

I think this is hard to top, from 2:20.

 

 

 

Tough topic though, as the rest of whatever song you choose has the ultimate bearing on the Outro, but some interesting results may come of it.

I Am The Resurrection

Starship Trooper - Yes.

It just goes off on one.

StageStruck

Black Sabbath - War Pigs. Nice wee jam before the speeded up conclusion of the song.

Elvis - suspicious minds - a simple fade out and then fades back in, simple but effective - love it!!

viz

Rainbow - catch the rainbow. Also 16th century greensleeves.

redrighthand

Layla surely. It's completely different and better song.

Deadman

Has to be RHCP - Sir psycho sexy

bigjon

Prince - Purple Rain

wows awarded for Catch the Rainbow & Layla.

I'd say any of those Deep Purple recordings where Ritchie Blackmore goes apeshit while they're fading him out. The earliest one I can think of is April (on the eponymous EllPee with the Heironymus Bosch cover) and the most obvious one is Demons Eye (on Fireball). The Blackmore's Night recording of Road To Mandalay also does quite well in this respect. In all of them I wish they hadn't faded him out so quickly.

I very much like the end of Tumbling Dice.

ICBM

+1 for Layla.

Eagles - Hotel California

Dire Straits - Private Investigations

Crowded House - Together Alone

Dark Side of the Moon - "...and every thing under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon".

4string

Mr Blue Sky by ELO. Jeff Lynne gives you 80 seconds of what could have been another song. It's as if he has too many good ideas so he is going to use ALL of them, just a couple of bars at a time.

Another contender - Rosanna by Toto

Some good uns here.

But, maybe rather controversially, I absolutely cannot bear the Outro to Layla, I have to turn the radio down or run for cover. It seems to have the same effect on me as a bad dream I can't awaken from.

Please play the Single Edit ;-)

Fair play to people who like it, but I find it torturous.

Freebird! Especially combined with the end to The Devils Rejects!

scrumhalf

Thin Lizzy's Don't Believe a Word.

Pictures of Home - Deep Purple.

Marillion - Forgotten sons

John Cale - 4'33" (almost as good as the intro)

That would have been my choice too.

Add the reprise to breathe after Time too for my tastes.

@axisus

Forgotten Sons oh yes and a fair few other Marillion songs besides, they did outros and codas just lovely

Stranglers related I still love the outro to Peaches among others of theirs.
