I could go on

My favorite is probably James Gang "Funk #49".

Lou Reed Intro/Sweet Jane

On a similar theme, song with best ending is "I'm Just A Singer in a Rock and Roll Band". Ends the song, the album and the classic 7 period of the Moody Blues most fittingly similar to how "The End" on Abbey Road provided a fitting ending to The Beatles.

Yep, the Intro. to Sweet Jane is an all-time classic. Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter provide an incredibly powerful and beautiful duet. I had this on constant playback on my Mom's open reel machine until she blew a gasket one day, heh, heh...
